## Review summary

Ivory for Mastodon is widely praised for its gorgeous, polished UI and robust settings, making it a top iOS Mastodon client for daily use. Reviewers call it reliable, intuitive, and worth the price. However, multiple reviews flag missing power-user features (threaded conversations, grouped notifications, private messages inbox) and bugs impacting UX (auto-refresh during scrolling, unstable timelines, crashes) along with slow update cadence. A few users have switched to alternatives due to these gaps.

### Pros

- Robust settings and strong control over app behavior.
- Regarded as one of the best Mastodon clients on iOS with a solid, intuitive UX.
- Widely used and considered worth the price; reliable for daily use.
- Strong continuity for longtime Tapbots/Tweetbot users and familiar experience.

### Cons

- Feed auto-refresh during scrolling disrupts reading and navigation.
- Missing essential power-user features: threaded conversations, grouped notifications, threaded replies, and a dedicated private messages inbox.
- Search and Federated search functionality is often broken or unreliable.
- Stability issues: crashes when typing, unstable timelines, and general buggy behavior.
- Slow or infrequent updates; long gaps between patches.
