Ratings and reviews

Image scaling is very poor in the main timeline, often leaving blobby messes. I really wish I could easily search through the people I follow and my followers with this app. Weirdly, I can type a user handle into a new post and sometimes find people that way, but that's very cumbersome. 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

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)
