Mastoot

When trying to pick a Mastodon client, I have to admit this one first jumped out at me because of how cute the icon is. But the reviews sold me on it, and I'm really pleased with this client. It's very straightforward and intuitively organized. It's easy to find whatever I want. The only feature requests I have are a character counter so I can tell how close I am to the limit instead of just guessing; and a way to access the extra emojis that are available in the browser version. (This second one is less of a big deal because you can manually insert them if you know the name of the emoji.) Overall I'm really happy with Mastoot and hope it continues to just get better and better!

I’ve used 4 different Mastodon clients at this point, from the official Mastodon app, to Tootle, Mammoth, to Metatext and this is definitely the cleanest, easiest to use client so far. Very well lashed out, easy to customize and makes all of the best features of Mastodon readily available. I love the option in the explore section to go to my local timeline or the federated feed, something many clients make difficult to navigate. One thing I really need to see in the app is a hashtag button on the main keyboard when drafting a post. Having to navigate to my special characters menu when hashtagging is the only reason this review is at 4 stars instead of 5. I’ve submitted a feature request, so fingers crossed we’ll see this in an update soon.

I've tried the official Mastodon client, Metatext, Tooot, Toot!, and Tootle, and THIS app is the only one that I immediately felt was on the right track for being the best client. The post layout is clean and logical (@names are shown under their display name, improving clarity), the dark mode lets you pick different levels of dark (not just "white on pure black" some others do), you can easily change icon and color schemes, and the profile view is neat and clearly highlights "verified" links. The various sections are arranged well and easy to get too. Some other apps bury sections under pop-up menus or try to cram too many buttons together on the screen. This app is great and I will start recommending it.
