Crashes a lot on Apple Watch

I got this app so I could use Bluesky on my Apple Watch. Unfortunately it always crashes after a few minutes and never gets the sorting right. It seems to just be a mash of random posts and replies. I would like to be able to pick a default feed for the Watch app. The Watch app needs some work.

Completely broken

I tried registering in Sora. Got the spinning beach ball, but decided to just wait it out. Then my Mac reported running out of memory, and that Sora used 50Gigabyte!!!! of memory. This app is an instant delete.

Solid

I do quite like the layout of the app, but locking extremely basic features like saving photos behind the monthly fee makes it essentially worthless

Just keep updating it forever ty

Surprisingly good. Like where this is going

It’s pretty good but…

It’s impossible to hit the like button on any post on blue sky

New features added

Updating my review and increasing my stars since the dev added share support and some soapbox features! Hoping for full support in the fire, but buying pro now! Sora is the prettiest mastodon app that follows iOS UI conventions perfectly.

really great app with one big flaw

i am a big fan of this app and plan on using it as my go to fedi app from now on but the notification section isn’t very user friendly and is a pain to sort through. it would be a 5 star for me if it was more compact or at least an option to sort through replies only. other than that i think the app is designed well and i really love the algorithm i feel like i am more engaged with the fediverse than i have been in awhile

5 star app

This app is unique in that it has something for everyone. It shows what algorithms can do when they’re optional and not backed by a company patenting with ad companies. It truly shows the power of the open web than can benefit all kinds of users with various interests. The dev is very responsive and takes user feedback seriously.

素晴らしいアプリ

このアプリの開発を見守ります。 Githubリポありますか？ (下手な日本語すみません、まだ学んでいます)

Goes against the idea of the fediverse

The fediverse is meant to be ad free and this app doesn't seem to care about that at all.
