Ratings and reviews

Edit: Just to reply to the dev (thank you for your response), I mean that I'd prefer slightly MORE compact posts. Not by much, though. Maybe a few pixels or so. But thank you! So far, it's a lovely app. The ability to fine tune the UI is invaluable, and the functional settings are very robust and customizable. I think the only thing I'd want for the near future is slightly slimmer spacing between posts. Otherwise, very big fan already.

After trying the other Android options, this is hands down the best. Editing posts, image loading, update profile, altext, dark mode, filters, CW, # following, # searching, mute, block. Haven't noticed any bugs or glitches. I've been using it since October, and being ND, the fact that everything works, simple clean design, and is not visually loud, perfect. I really like that after an update, the history of updates is included. Android S21 Ultra using Nova Launcher.

Looks like it could be a good app. It has features that others are missing, such as a tab for local timeline and dark mode. Unfortunately, it doesn't refresh on its own. I don't get notifications. If I open the app, every tab loads blank until I manually refresh each tab individually. If they can fix that bug, it would be a great app. As things are, it's almost useless.
