User Reviews

Shaped by user feedback, Woolly is praised for its clean design, strong threaded conversations, and a highly customizable, multi-column layout that shines on iPad and across devices. Reviewers also hail its fast feel and smooth timeline navigation. However, opinions diverge on ongoing development: some say updates are active, others feel progress has stalled. Performance is perceived variably—some users report quick loading while others experience slower post loading. There are also stability concerns on certain devices and occasional refresh issues when catching up.

Performance is perceived variably across reviews—some users report very fast loading, others experience slower post loading.
Stability/refresh issues across devices, including occasional crashes and the need to refresh to catch up to the latest posts.

Recent reviews

It jumped out way ahead early with nearly full features but then they stopped developing it. I'll be moving on I guess.

The multi-columns and the ability to customize them makes very good use of the iPad’s screen real estate. It crashes sometimes when I’m scrolling on my iPad Pro. I hope this gets fixed soon. I also hope that the developer responds to questions and suggestions.

Best looking of the bunch, clean and tasteful design. Where it lacks for me, and what keeps me from using it more, is its speed and how it loads new posts. To compare - I don’t like Ivory’s design but they’ve totally nailed the content loading mechanism and speed; the haptics are also helpful. I’m hoping Woolly will see improvements here and eventually be comparable to Ivory in this respect.
