Metatext

I like the app very much and I use it daily. Never had a crash or similar. So, great job! One of the major features that I miss is post editing. Typos on mobile happen quite often. Would be super if I could fix them from the app right away instead of opening up the web app each time.

Great app. Smooth and rather user-friendly. But where is the edit functionality?

Danke für die Arbeit.

Sehr gute App - Vielen Dank!

Where’s the developer go? This needs updated before it can be utilized with current fedi software

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!

This app used to be the best; now it won’t even load images and gives an error message when attempting to post.

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.

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.

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.
