You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.

:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot

:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

FediTips has moved!

@kaiju @metabolist

Unfortunately Metatext is no longer maintained. The lead developer had to take a break due to health issues :(

@metabolist @feditips Yeah, just read it. I'm looking for iOS apps, open source if possible at an affordable price. Toot and Tusker are my candidates.

@kaiju @metabolist

Ice Cubes is free-of-charge free open source software, might want to try it?

Toot! is good too but isn't open source.

@feditips correction, it is @tooot not toot. Anyway, thank you very much for the suggestion.

@metabolist @kaiju @feditips Rats! I really like Metatext. Hope the lead developer gets better soon.

There is also a community-maintained version of Metatext currently in testing called Feditext, but it's not yet been released.
