Description

Mastodon is the largest decentralized social network on the internet. Instead of a single website, it’s a network of millions of users in independent communities that can all interact with one another, seamlessly. No matter what you’re into, you can meet passionate people posting about it on Mastodon!
Join a community and create your profile. Find and and follow fascinating folks and read their posts in an ad-free, chronological timeline. Express yourself with custom emoji, images, GIFs, videos, and audio in 500-character posts. Reply to threads and reblog posts from anyone to share great stuff. Find new accounts to follow and trending hashtags to expand your network.
Mastodon is built with a focus on privacy and safety. Decide whether your posts are shared with your followers, just the people you mention, or the whole world. Content warnings let you hide posts containing sensitive or triggering material until you're ready to engage with them. Each community has its own guidelines and moderators to keep its members safe, and robust blocking and reporting tools help prevent abuse.
More features:
• Dark Mode: Read posts in light, dark, or true black mode
• Polls: Ask followers for their opinion and tally the votes
• Explore: Trending hashtags and accounts are a tap away
• Notifications: Get notified about new follows, replies, and reblogs
• Sharing: Post directly to Mastodon from any share sheet in any app
• Cuteness: Our mascot is an adorable elephant, and you'll see them pop up from time to time
Mastodon is a registered nonprofit and development is supported directly by your donations. There’s no advertising, no monetization, and no venture capital, and we plan to keep it that way.

Clean, clear, and responsive

I have been using mastodon for about a year and this is one of the best applications I've had the opportunity to use! The UI is responsive and crisp, and it's easy to switch between accounts and discover new people to talk to!

Cannot get my server

Supposedly can type name of server in search spot and use your local server even if not listed. Have tried multiple times, and our server is never found. Deleting app and trying some others.

Need the settings to hide boosts

There, that’s why it’s missing the 1 star. I will give it a 5 star if this function is added. I like this app but I really need to turn off boosts.

Meh.

It’s pretty and I want to like it, but it doesn’t (and won’t) support viewing the local timeline. What’s the point of a client that won’t show you what other people on your server are saying? Without this, Mastodon instances have all the personality of an email server. There are other, better clients to choose from.

Amazing

It is refreshing to be on a platform with no ads and data mining like what you see on the mainstream corporate platforms.
Mastodon puts users needs first, it’s nice to see that we have chronological timelines rather than algorithm based timelines.

This is a nice, elegant little app that lets me connect to what *should* be everyone’s default social media platform, IMHO.

Doesn’t allow all instances or servers

App advertises that it works with all severs and instances, but it does not due to the developers own personal views on censorship.

The application does not provide the trial version of Testflight to the public, most of the features on the site are not available in the application, I wish to remove the server name next to the user name there is some kind of confusion

App limits the instances you can choice from

For some reason, the creators of this app have limited which instances you can log into. It makes no sense why the user is limited to choosing among a small selection of instances.

Amazing improvements

When I first got the app, I liked the aesthetics but there was quite a bit missing. I couldn't see those I'm following or my followers. I couldn't use multiple accounts without a hassle. I didn't understand how to write direct messages (this was a misunderstanding on my part) and I couldn't view the federated timeline. Fortunately in 1.2.0, it's now possible to see followers and those you're following. Possibly more importantly, multi account support is now stellar. Using multiple accounts is vital on decentralized platforms and protocols such as ActivityPub, and this gets it right. Maybe the federated timeline will come later, or maybe it'd be difficult to justify given Apple's strict rules, but it's chaotic and spammy enough that I don't mind logging in on a browser for the few times I need it. I love how quickly this project is taking shape. Its UI is simple yet does exactly what I want it to do. And that wouldn't be possible if it weren't a free and open source project!! Props to MainasuK and Gargron :)

The UI is very good! But we need to access the timeline! This is very important for us!

Great app. Needs Local and Federated timelines.

This app is beautifully put together. It’s privacy respecting. And, it’s frequently updated. Who could ask for more? Me! As many other have agreed, please add Local and Federated timelines? Maybe they could be hidden behind an “Advanced” section in settings and be “activated”. Their omission makes the app next to useless for me.

New User Un-Friendly

I downloaded this app as a brand new user of Mastodon, and I am totally confused. I can’t search for any servers—only hashtags and people. How am I supposed to look for people to follow if I don’t even know what servers I want to follow? It would be helpful to have some sort of tutorial or help setting up new accounts via mobile.

Where is the local feed and the fediverse

When using mastodon on browser to have 3 feeds home- people I follow, local- the server I’m on and fediverse- all servers that are federated to the one I’m hosted by. On the app I only have home so am missing lots of content

The main cool feature of Mastodon is missing from the official app. You only have the option of viewing your home feed. Please add local and federated timelines!

Great Official App

It’s nice to see the devs at Mastodon finally release their own application. Simple, smooth, clean.
The only thing I would like to see, which h I’ve yet to see any practically any Mastodon app, is the ability to change the text size. Other than that, this will be my go-to from now on.

Nice app but missing basic things

At least for me. I want the local and home and federated tabs. It’s hard to tell what is going on and when with how it is now. Also the app lags sometimes and seems much slower than my favorite app. Please consider adding the tabs for local and home and federated. Now things seem all mixed in together and it’s hard to find new people signing up in my instance.

This App is great, and it would be better with a local/federated timeline. The notification page is laggy when loading.

Missing key features of the Mastodon experience

This app has no way of viewing the local or federated timelines, and it has no way to make unlisted posts.

hides important features from you that other apps support

this app intentionally hides your instance's local and federated timelines from you, which is a primary way to meet new people on your instance. it's trying to be more like twitter by hiding core features that every other mastodon app supports. comments others have made about this on the issue tracker have been deleted and discussion shut down, and the lead developer is uninterested in feedback from people who actually use mastodon. use any other app.

Improves the On-Ramp to the Fediverse

This app allows you to easily get connected around the world, to learn and collaborate with other users of the exponentially growing Fediverse social platform network.
You can easily find a server via search, and review their descriptions. The e-mail verification process during the joining process is seamless.
Once you join a server (instance), it is easy to find and explore accounts to follow. Those accounts might follow accounts on other servers, which allows you to explore additional communities.
Your Fediverse experience can evolve with you deciding to eventually sign up to a different server that better suits your needs.
You can find more complex features on your server and on the Fediverse in general when you use a web browser to access your account, but this app provides a perfectly comfortable user experience for those new to the Fediverse.

Good start, minimal experience

The app has a clean interface but is missing the local and federated timelines so it's not a full experience and would be useless for a new user. It also is missing customization features seen in other iOS Mastodon apps, as it just has a basic light or dark theme. Not worth switching to at this time.

Great start

For a v.1 this is great
Much more user-friendly and streamlined than Mast or others, and the first screen that guides you through finding an instance is excellent for new users.
The only reason it is not five stars is the app has been a little slow and buggy (had a weird text issue where it only typed every other letter), and I have had a few crashes but nothing major.
A great start for a needed concept!

Fast but limited options

Doesn't seem to be a way to make posts default to global and not just followers only. Not sure why it's set up like that.

Doesn't support post length discovery

Try to use this with a server that supports longer than default posts and it won't work — this client is capped at 500 characters, unlike every other Mastodon client out there.
