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.
