User Reviews

Overall, Mastodon’s decentralized platform and community are praised, but the iOS app is frequently buggy: scrolling and navigation instability, slow performance and freezes, posting/media issues, and inconsistent in-app notifications overshadow the otherwise positive experience.

Pros

The iOS Mastodon app has matured over several years with noticeable improvements.
It enables daily use of the decentralized Mastodon network.
Users praise the Mastodon community as wonderful and welcoming.
The app reflects the platform’s open-source, ad-free ethos valued by users.

Cons

Major scrolling and refresh issues: disjointed scrolling, losing place, and odd refresh behavior.
Top-of-feed navigation and home button problems: the button no longer jumps to the top and reopening can reset to the last position.
Performance and stability problems: the app feels laggy, slow, and prone to freezes.
Posting/media bugs: posting flow is confusing and media uploads often fail or disappear, with issues around alt-text.
Notifications inconsistency: in-app notifications can be missing or delayed compared to iOS notifications.

I liked having the option to switch feeds, but can no longer find this.

I wish posting on instances was more intuitive. Like I don’t get the file sharing to post videos thing still so I tend to not. Also I wish there was a button for emojis like Tusky.

Recent updates make the app slightly prettier, but you can no longer long-press media to get usable sharing (like copying an image). The built-in sharing seems buggy (sharing a picture shares its full URL and Alt text, but not the image‽). When the cache of posts runs dry, the extremely long drag-and-hold to reload is buggy and inconsistent. Hoping developers will read and act on feedback here, as there does not seem to be any way to submit through the app.
