If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options: :android: Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab :apple_inc: iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot! 💻 Computers - Log in through your server&#39;s website Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon! (Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn&#39;t find one. You don&#39;t need to use it!)

@feditips@mstdn.social Yea, official app for Android is slow and ugly. Tusky works perfectly.

@feditips@mstdn.social Tusky is my undoubted favourite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky

@feditips@mstdn.social I must say, I really like the clean official android app. Only when I need to bookmark stuff, i switch to Tusky. I hope that feature will be built in the official app as well.

@feditips@mstdn.social Tusky on Android works very well. Question: how do I turn on notifications? Didn't see those, I have to do it manually.

@feditips@mstdn.social I tried Metatext and liked it, but I actually think the official app is faster and smoother.

@feditips@mstdn.social I think it worth mentioning @sengi_app@mastodon.social Sengi is a nice desktop client. It's quite convenient if one has multiple Mastodon accounts.

@feditips@mstdn.social On my iPhone, I get the best results by navigating to my account in Safari, then saving a bookmark to my home screen. I launch into Mastodon from there. It basically acts like a full(er)-featured app. More functions than any of the iPhone apps you mentioned.
