Ratings and reviews

Looks nice but many fairly basic features are locked behind a subscription. I might consider a small unlock price but subscription shouldn't be necessary.

Just needs getting out of viewing pics to be less awkward, like having a little x in the corner. [edit: Okay, that's been fixed!]

I found Boost Blue having stopped using a rival app that had become overcomplicated and finally incompatible with my crumbling old phone. Nice clean app, still gaining features, but does the basics very well. Best feature for me is the ability to hold the timeline at the last-read position. It makes good use of screen space, without too much white space (to be fair, that's true of the official app... but that can't store your timeline position)

What’s new

Boost’s Following feed has been fully rewritten to display immediately when you open the app. The app now caches posts from your prior session, shows your feed right away, and loads new posts in the background so you don’t have to wait.
