Ratings and reviews

Used to love this app until the most recent update broke notifications (boo longer respects filters and spams my phone's notifications system with everything despite the filter settings) and no longer shows media in-like in the notifications. Now it's broken my heart and become an annoyance. I miss the previous version. 😓

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.

I'm liking this app way more than the official Mastodon app (which was rushed out) specifically because it makes it very easy to view the different timelines: people I follow; people in my instance; the federated timeline; and then specific lists I've made. It feels a lot like the Twitter app (esp if, in settings, you choose always expand CWs and always show media) The one feature I'd love is to be able to add and edit lists from this app (right now can only do it on the web interface)
