Ratings and reviews

A couple little bugs need to be worked out. The delayed timer for posting doesn't work. It's a wonderful feature, but I've tried it three times and it has failed to work. Also, in the followers column, it doesn't tell you if you're following them back like how it does on the website. Another thing, when I post a video from YouTube, the app takes you to YouTube instead of playing the video inside the app. I like the website better for this. Otherwise, it seems okay.

Image scaling is very poor in the main timeline, often leaving blobby messes. No error messages when my instance is down. I wish it had better search for people I follow and my followers with (weirdly, I can type a user handle into a new post and sometimes find people that way). There isn't a way to require alt text before posting images, so you'll likely get nagged by other users to add that. The app is also very poor about consolidating notifications, cumbersome with popular posts.

Rating the app 3 and a half stars cuz there are a few problems I had. There is no edit button for posts on the app (like on the web version). I wish when you reply to someone you can see their message from above. I wish you can make threads for posts. had problems trying to upload gifs too since I don't know what the size limit is for those, it wont let me post them.
