iOS users of Mastodon, any *personal* anecdotes on which client you prefer? I’m finding the official client a little lacking in terms of reliably delivering notifications, along with a number of UI glitches on my device. I’ll submit those as bugs, but I’m equally not opposed to switching clients if the experience is noticeably better.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social I used Ice Cubes, and really enjoy it.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social I'd say @ivory@tapbots.social is one of the best. https://tapbots.social/@ivory/116494475241001819

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social I've been using @ivory@tapbots.social for more than 2 years now because it offers very good support for multiple accounts and all the features I need. Not free though. Comes from the former Tweetbot developers.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social @joeress@mastodon.social I’m a big fan of @ivory@tapbots.social. I used Tweetbot back in the old days, too. Quality software, well designed, highly functional.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social Just another vote for @ivory@tapbots.social. It's rock solid on both iOS and macOS and delightful. It's especially comfy if you used to use tweetbot back in the day.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social Ice Cubes Can’t speak to the notifications, as I don’t use them, but I’ve rather enjoyed the client over the past couple of years

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social I’ve tried most of them and found them mostly cumbersome or slow (in fairness my iPad is nearly a decade old). However, Mastoot is lightweight and responsive and I find it really nice. The shame is that it is no longer updated.

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social tried them all and ended up coming back to "Toot!". https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toot-for-mastodon/id1229021451

@garythewilliams@mastodon.social another vote for Ice Cubes here. I really hope for the official client to get improved performance and bugfixes so it’s more usable.
