Description

Toot! is a client for the Mastodon social network. It is beautiful, and full of character and whimsy. What makes Toot! special? - It is delightful. It is full of beautiful design, animation, amusing details and hidden treasures. - It is fast and robust. It caches data locally to let you read without waiting for slow loading, and it remembers your reading position. - It lets you be as many people as you like. You can easily switch between accounts with a flick of your finger. It even lets you read timelines on instances you are not logged in to! - It has wide support for most features in Mastodon. - It has the cutest icon. What makes Mastodon special? - It is a social network by humans, rather than algorithms and corporate interests. - It is a social network for humans, rather than advertisers and data collectors. - It is a social network that is humane, rather than preying on your insecurities and worst instincts. Why does Toot! cost money? - Toot! shows you no ads, and it collects none of your information, nor does it track any of your habits. It does not try to trick you into doing anything you do not want. - That means it gets no money through such shady tricks, and relies on you to support its development.

    I’ve tried Ivory, but Toot! fits my mental model of Mastodon best. The simple controls at the bottom while having the fast-account-switching is 💯

    This is the best social media app I’ve ever used. It’s really intuitive and runs smoothly. It’s probably the most used app on my iPad. Please could you expand it to run on MacBooks, that would be grand.
  • Great UI

    Novel and easy to use interface, it used to be my favorite mastodon app just because of how it works. Unfortunately no media playback controls mean you can’t scrub video.
  • Missing webp support

    Great app and the only one I use for Mastodon and Pleroma. It doesn’t seem to support webp though, which is an odd choice considering webp is 13 years old and is a better image format. A lot of people post webp images and I can’t view them. If I have to keep opening my browser what’s the point of having the app?
  • Not my app

    Purchased and tried Toot! for a couple weeks, but have too many complaints and went back to my old fav app. Some are personal preference, some are more general, but the gripe list includes: No swipe actions on posts in timeline (eg left to star, right to reply). Many excessive animations that can’t be turned off. UX customization options are low in general. Post privacy isn’t easy to see in the timeline. When creating a new post, I have to scroll a page length down for privacy and CW options, causing me to forget them regularly. “Load more” system doesn’t make sense to me - hard to find posts between now and last logon. Would like to see it work more like Mastoot. Gives 3 options to create a toot (text, image, video) when I really just want a text box with some nearby media upload buttons. Text posts don’t always format the way you expect after posting
  • Great Mastodon app

    This is the best app for Mastodon I’ve found so far. Best of all is that it doesn’t collect any data. If only more developers would do the same!
  • Some basic UX issues for scrolling

    Please just add infinite scrolling on "now" without the suboptimal "show more" features below: 1. Selecting "show more" is really easy to miss, and I have to press it all the time as I scan down the feed. 2. Once you miss pressing "show more" the units shift from "Xm" to "Ymn" which I assume is supposed to mean months, typically mo and hard to see either way. The unit is actually useful here but not standard. Consider "min" and "mo" or "m" and "months". 3. Scrolling back up to find "show more" is quite easy to miss, so much that I start to look for the splitting point where the top right units shift from "mn" back to "m" 4. Confusing mechanic where the direction you show more from is based on where you came from, so when you overshoot (always), you then have to scroll back, next you have to slightly go forwards again to reorient the direction you want to scroll. 5. Oh sorry, you accidentally hit "show more" the wrong direction. Please progress back to step 3, scroll up hunting for the seam, and try again. Otherwise no complaints but this kills the core usability for me.
  • Nice, but could be so much better

    When I bought this app, it was one of the best at the time. It is such an impressive change of UI thinking that is really nice once you poke around to figure things out. Now, it is lagging behind, and the developer seems to have just given up. It lacks media playback control, still crops images to 16x9. I understand that the developer has an opinion for not including notifications, and I respect that. However, not everyone holds that opinion, and if we pay for things there is a certain level of expected minimum features. In the 3 months since the last update a lot has changed on the back end of the fedi, and even the last update only brought it to the bare minimum of features then!
  • Faving a toot only works half the time

    By Jason935
    This app is the best and most complete app, but when favoriting a toot I often go back to my PC and see the fav didn’t take. It happens about half the time. It doesn’t matter if I’m on wifi or mobile data. It’s been a problem since I started using this app in December. It would be nice if they fixed this.
  • No video controls

    Absolutely no video controls. No “rehide media” button even though the is a “reveal media” button. -must tap CW banner. Over - designed but lacking basic common sense features.
