## Metatext Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great app but"
Where’s the developer go? This needs updated before it can be utilized with current fedi software
-- CMDR Nova, 2024-12-13

### ***-- "Pretty good app, although the reply function is infuriating."
Almost everything is good about this app… but I am SO used to having a button on the bottom of the screen to reply to the post I am looking at that I didn’t even know tapping the speech bubble starts a reply for *any* platform… until this one started making my replies into standalone posts!  I can never remember to change how I reply until I make a mistake at least once a day!
-- Gagatronic, 2024-12-03

### *---- "Update: Needs Update"
This app used to be the best; now it won’t even load images and gives an error message when attempting to post.
-- seamusberkeley, 2024-09-05

### ***-- "Looks good but can’t translate"
TL;DR—Metatext claims it’ll translate posts but if it can do so, it’s a very well-hidden feature.

I used the Mast app since I joined a Mastodon instance about four years ago, but recently Mast stopped updating my timeline and it looks like that app has been abandoned.

To replace Mast, I downloaded Metatext, and it’s worked well for me so far. However, one feature that Mast has is completely missing from Metatext: translation of posts. It’s not possible in Metatext, yet Mast had this feature from the beginning four years ago. And no, I don’t consider the “highlight text and then send it to Apple’s servers” method a valid translation mechanic nor a feature of the app.
-- MaxAgHammer, 2024-07-08

### ****- "Great Mastodon app, but needs updated."
Been using the app for about six months, and it’s my default go-to on the iphone. But the edit function doesn’t appear or seem to work. If they fix that, this would be a five star review.
-- camstone, 2023-09-24

### *---- "Abandoned but good app"
The GitHub is archived so no more work has been done on the app since November 2022. Good app but I wouldn’t recommend installing anymore.
-- John AppStore, 2023-07-07

### ***-- "No more updates"
It works reliably, doesn't steal any data (unlike some, watch out) and I appreciate that it's open source, but the project isn't being updated (GitHub/metabolist is asking for volunteers to take it over). I'm going to try the official Mastodon app and compare features.
-- Frankie Snafu, 2023-06-09

### ****- "Development discontinued"
This was my go-to app from November 2022 until March 2023. The last update was the month I started, so it won’t be able to keep up with the great new apps. I switched to Ice Cubes, but am about to start comparing Ivory and Mammoth. I enjoyed it while it lasted, and the features haven’t moved beyond Metatext yet, too much.
-- vclmonster, 2023-03-28

### ***** "Love this app, sadly…"
I love MetaText so much, so much that I had to give it five stars. Unfortunately, the fact that there will no longer be updates is beginning to affect its functionality in a serious way, at least on my fairly large instance. In particular, I am no longer able to use it to search. If I need to search for anyone or anything, I have to use an alternate app or desktop. This is a fairly recent development. MetaText is so easy to use, I still use it anytime I want to post something on the go or just scroll through my feed or one of my lists. But it no longer fulfills ever need, sadly.

As I understand it, the developer had important, personal reasons for needing to leave it behind, so I certainly wish them the very best. I’ll probably keep MetaText until it no longer posts— I just like it that much.
-- Brosepeph Ballin', 2023-03-05

### ****- "Development Paused"
While I am very happy with this app overall, I have since switched to Ice Cubes since Metatext development has paused & seems to be inactive since November 2022
