Ratings and reviews

One of the best third app for Bluesky social media, where it actually saved your last place of the post since from the time you open the app. One thing that still needs to be fixed is that the scrolling experience kind of wonky and hopefully the dev fix this in the future. Overall, quite a solid app for alternative Bluesky app!

Very nice client for the AT Protocol (the one used by Bluesky). Its killer feature is timeline rewinding, which always keeps your reading position! Give it a try!!

I've been using Skywalker for a couple of months, and mostly very impressed. So good to be able to keep track of where you stopped reading – a feature absent in the official Bluesky apps (and Twitter, since Musk blocked 3rd party apps). Occasionally I have to reboot when it fails to load new posts, but that could be my old phone. I'm grateful for the Android 6-8 support! Main request would be facilities for font-size, image-size, "screen real estate" etc.
