About this app

AndStatus is an Open Source multiple accounts client for multiple Social networks, including Mastodon, ActivityPub (Client to Server), GNU social and Pump.io.
AndStatus can combine your feeds from all networks into one Timeline,
and it allows you to read and post even when you are offline.

For Android v.7.0+ devices.

Differentiating features of AndStatus:

1. Many accounts in different Social networks. You may have several accounts in each, write/reply as any "You" and share between accounts and networks.
2. You don't need to be online to read timelines and to post your updates: drafts and unsent posts are kept even after reboot. They will be sent when your device is Online.
3. Convenient tree-like "Conversation view".
4. "Global search" allowing you to search public notes in all networks with one query.
5. Lists of Friends and Followers, presented as User Lists and as Timelines (with the latest note by each User).
6. Notes (tweets)/avatars/attached images are periodically synced in a background, when your device has a good connection. By default, attachments are downloaded via Wi-Fi only.
7. Cached data may be stored for years or for several days only - it's your choice.
8. Backup accounts and notes and Restore them on any of your devices. Own your data!
9. Free and without ads, community supported.

Ratings and reviews

Version 60.01 Fully featured as per app description. This is the twitter app alternative to look into. Works very well with android official roms as well we 3rd party (LOS, graphene, etc). PROS: opensource, free, no ads, no trackers , no permissions requested, compatible with other social networks, light on resources and also available on other app stores. CONS: none found atm.

Seems like a good app thought it does not work smoothly for me. The app wont stop syncing and tweets loading is laggy. Idk what is wrong with the app. Given how the app seems to favor offline rather than online, I left it synchronising for hour and even then the new content loading is always laggy. Idk what is wrong. Another down size is the inability to load gif. The app depends an a os native or third party image viewer. I was unable to watch gif nor vid on twitter.

Like the app, but still finding my way around. One thing I notice missing is twitter replies/conversation.... Click on tweet, show conversation... Nothing there???... I know for a fact that there are lots of replies to various tweets, but they are not showing up in this app... Am I missing something?....

What’s new

For Mastodon AndStatus now takes maximum number of characters in a message from a server's config. Previously it used default 500 characters limit.
