Ratings and Reviews
Notifications
It would be five stars but there doesn’t seem to be a way to receive notifications.
EDIT: I changed to 5 stars. Very well made app and responsive developer. The horizontal feed, along with how notifications are handled, makes this a one of a kind mastodon app. Highly recommend.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback. Notifications are available starting with version 1.1.
Almost Perfect!
I think this is a fantastic way of viewing threaded content, and I can’t wait to use this more!
As a feature request, I’d REALLY like to be able to dismiss sheet modals with the swipe-down gesture. The rest of the gesture-driven UI is EXCELLENT.
Developer Response ,
Thank you, as of version 1.4 all modal screens support swipe-down to dismiss gesture.
App challenges but great tech support
I've logged into my Friendica server (my-place.social) over 10 times, authentication is successful each time. However, there was no way to get back to the app feed without hitting "cancel" from the internal browser, completely losing the authenticated session.
The developer reached out swiftly to offer help. I posted this on a week when there have been a couple family emergencies, so the only reason it's not 100% fixed yet is because I'm slow make use of the offered support -- but the developer is friendly, helpful, professional, patient, and has made easy support resolution available to me that I'm sure will work out well as I make use of more of the resources.
Developer Response ,
After additional info from the user, we discovered the issue. The problem is with Friendica and two-factor authentication. Currently, there is a bug where Friendica doesn't redirect back to the app, preventing us from being able to finish authorization. The problem was reported to Friendica. While we wait for a fix, the app was updated to include a warning with an explanation to inform anyone else who could run into the same problem.
