Note5: Can never login. Opens up in internet, login there, then it says "The redirect URL included is not valid"... It needs a facility to swap too and from accounts easily too like Twitter (who've mastered that in their app)

I love using Tusky. It definitely tells me that the infrastructure for a better Twitter replacement is in place. Now: Is it just me, or is it impossible to subscribe to users from other instances from Tusky?

Loving this app so far, but what would be a good idea is an option to quickly switch accounts, say between instances.

was working fine until it started crashing and refused to work

Couldn't change profile photo not sure why

Great Mastodon client. I just wish I could make the font bigger.

Grant Ford September 3, 2017

Great app. I just wish there was a widget.

Best Mastodon client

Harri Kirik September 11, 2017

Simple.

Serge Meeuwsen May 19, 2017

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 June 3, 2017

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 June 15, 2017

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 May 5, 2017

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

Filene July 22, 2017

Tusky still has some distance to go before it's an app you can rely on. Timelines show duplicate entries, leave massive gaps between my latest review and the review I made from a day before, sometimes when scrolling text in a thread you see a ghost copy not scrolling beneath, no support for markdown/Mastodon instance emoticons, and there's no notifications. This is all upon my (now ancient) Nexus 5. 3 stars despite that because with a few more updates, this app should be the one you're looking for.

Unusable on Nougat 7.0. It took a different Mastodon client to get an actual reason it would not work.

Anjar Fandrianto May 30, 2017

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.

James Law June 13, 2017

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

John Arrington Woodward May 28, 2017

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.

Peter Smith July 9, 2017

Some push notifications, or simulated ones would be great, as would multi account support. Does the job. Integration with Google Assistant would be nice, would like to create IFTTT applet to post by voice.

Nona al-Raschid July 30, 2017

I wish you could open several instances and that it didn't crash so much, but this is otherwise a solid app

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.

Hunter Tyree June 29, 2017

This has a nice interface, but notifications do not work at all.

Bri-Anna Mitchell June 14, 2017

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

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.

Toby Cowles July 22, 2017

App was great but now it just crashes a lot,

Dan Hall May 27, 2017

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

gui-m July 26, 2017

Simple and Clean Mastodon Client. I love this.

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

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

What's New

This adds the ability to save drafts, a new search page (with tag searching), mention autocomplete, and an about page. Lots of general design and interface improvements have been made!
