It crashes when viewing pics. Also doesn't reliably show avatars (most show up with a generic grey icon). Needs a lot of work still but has the best looking interface of all Mastodon clients.

Borys Niewiadomski

pretty happy so far... needs notifications. could use some usability features, like long click copy toot. it does crash every so often, but not enough to be obtrusive. mostly just functions as i'd expect

Becca Lynn

I really like it. It's a lot more simple than most other apps, which makes for easy use. The only thing I wish was that it would allow you to add multiple accounts, much like Twitter does.

Andy Lundell

Sadly, Notifications do not work on my S5. Everything else works well. I like the design.

James Law

Looks good, but can't authenticate with my instance. I get the client authentication failed error.

John Arrington Woodward

Very stable on my Android N. You really need to know how Mastodon works, though. And it would be nice to be able to open more than one instance at a time.

Help me. I'm from Indonesia. I can't login into my account. What should I type in the login page? I type "mastodon.cloud" and then comes a reply "Failed authenticating with that instance." I'm using android Nougat 7.0 Thx before.

Hector Lugo May 24, 2017

This needs a lot of work, lots of crashes, but has great potential!

Jin-Sun Kim June 15, 2017

I like the design. It reminds me of twt. But why is gif not playing on the tl. And why cant i upload gifs?? Plz fix it??

Nicole Richwine May 27, 2017

I'd totally be in love this app if it weren't so crash-prone and the images would load. Sorry.

A. David June 2, 2017

Was Great. Till it stopped working.

Cassidy James Blaede May 17, 2017

Without notifications, it's difficult to actually use and come back to this app.

Dan Hall May 27, 2017

Very nice, clean interface. Would be lovely to have support for multiple accounts.

Bri-Anna Mitchell June 14, 2017

It wont let me login in I don't know why

Erfan Hoshangi June 15, 2017

Update pleaseeeee

Abben Maguire June 5, 2017

No problems so far. Hooray?

Reza Yousefian June 9, 2017

Awsome

Jeremy P April 24, 2017

This is the best Mastodon client IMO. Only thing we all need now is the ability to log into multiple instances at once, and be able to switch between them!! Make it happen please!

Matthew Dye April 15, 2017

It's not bad. I'm glad it enables landscape mode on tablets but someday I hope to have better use of a tablet interface - multiple columns maybe. On the other hand, I'm thrilled the developer is so accommodating and responsive. It's definitely going in the right direction.

William Bosquez April 17, 2017

Interesting take, it's the only real app tho so not much to compare against. It does what it says and no errors. Notifications don't work on my Nexus 6P tho

AAQIF BHAT April 16, 2017

Not able share images without some text. Not receiving notification when someone follows or boost my toot. Not able to change name , profile pic

Christopher Armstrong April 29, 2017

Good, but doesn't let you search for tags, or view a specific tag, unless you come across it in your timeline.

Jacopo Farina April 18, 2017

Great, I love mastodon and this app makes it easy to use from the phone. A lot of room for improvement, but it's already pretty useful

Louis Mitas April 26, 2017

Gives an authentication error with mastodon.cloud, so I can't even log in.

Swipe650 April 22, 2017

Pretty cool app. Notifications not working yet but apart from that, a really good effort

Aaron Toponce April 18, 2017

Notifications don't work. Other than that, it's okay.

Matthew Lawrence April 20, 2017

Needs significant updates and features added. Needs a feedback portal, and needs an option to save last viewed position.

Len Chan April 24, 2017

notification still not work ?

Jake Ellis April 13, 2017

Mispelled "favorites". Literally unusable.

Fritz Jones April 15, 2017

Federated timeline not working

Coşku Baş May 1, 2017

Searching doesnt work

Peter Smith April 21, 2017

Some push notifications, or simulated ones would be great, as would multi account support. Does the job.

Daniel Quinn April 20, 2017

Very slick interface, easy to use, and entirely reasonable permissions requirements.

Rob Flickenger April 14, 2017

Awooooooo! 🍍

Full HP Pires April 18, 2017

Good client for Mastodon

Michael Weisberg April 12, 2017

Works pretty well, but I'd like to link multiple accounts (on multiple instances) please! Five stars because it seems like the best client available right now

Patrick Fleming April 7, 2017

Search bar only searches for users, hashtag search from the bar would be good (instances search"correctly") Another user mentioned notifications. I don't see them working as expected. Follow button on the bottom right of user profile does not seem to follow the user. Have to use the menu top right to follow. I missed following a user before I figured it out. Seems decent enough otherwise. These few things are my only complaints.

Rachel H April 10, 2017

Shows some promise but it's far from compete. Can't search for posts or hashtags. No user autocomplete, no way to save images. Randomly drops users when replying. Works ok as a reader I guess but you're better off using the web interface right now.

Ondřej Hruška April 10, 2017

Great up, sometimes buggy (timeline showing in two layers on top of itself), and lacking in things like directly taking a photo, but otherwise works great and is really intuitive. I'd appreciate a support for notifications, and a way to be logged into multiple instances at the she time.

Nicole Hammond April 8, 2017

Working well, nice interface. Along with other glitches people have noted, you can't see how many boosts / favourites each toot has. Looking forward to updates, thank you developer.

What's New

Direct messages, profile editing, and accessing your muted users list are now here. Locked accounts can also now access follow requests. The compose page now lets you snap a picture with your camera to upload. To save a copy quickly for this, Tusky asks for permission to write files (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). Many translations have been done by generous folks: Polish by m4sk1n, Arabic by ButterflyOfFire, Japanese by indication + Kazuki Kanda, Turkish by Caleb Maclennan, Dutch by Jeroen Praat
