Speaking of which, any recommendations a Mastodon app for iOS they love?

My preference is either open source apps, or a paid app that supports independent developers.

@AngeloStavrow 'Love' is overstating it a bit but my favourite is Mast.

@pyrmont I used Mast but the notifications stopped working, and a message to the developer led me to believe it was not worth it anymore. Another search led me to Toot!, and I'm loving that. Tons of features, you can customize a bit, multiple accounts made easy, and a great mode where you can add other instances without having an account there, and be able to check their timeline.

Another one that is maybe worth a look is Roma, it looks a bit like Mast...

@maique Roma is a older fork of Mast supposedly more targeted to Pleroma, but it appears to be mostly stale. The Mast developer is trying to sell Mast and has a history of abandoning apps. Probably best to stick to Toot.

@mcg It does look a lot like Mast! I was talking about Mast yesterday, in another place. I was very disappointed with the reply I got from the developer, and someone told me the same thing: he makes a ton of apps and then forgets all about them. I deleted the app after that, and found out about Toot! It's a great experience.

@pyrmont Oh, thanks! I've picked up Toot, which is very whimsical (a positive for me, but maybe not for everyone), but I will have a look at Mast as well. 🙂

@AngeloStavrow No worries! According to @maique's reply, Mast's notifications might not be working properly any more so another option could be the right choice :)

@pyrmont I installed Mast again, to see if something had changed. At the moment it doesn’t even show up on the notifications tab on the phone’s preferences. Am I alone in this ? Can you set Mast’s preferences as you do other apps ?

@maique Nope, you're right. Notifications seem to be completely absent. I haven't used the app in a while so guess that's something that's happened since then. Thanks for the warning!

@pyrmont You’re very welcome. Kinda sad, though, the app looks nice. Before finding Toot! I installed another one just for the notifications, and kept using Mast. But the developer’s answer really saddened me, and I went searching for a nicer one.
