Woolly for Mastodon

I LOVE the conversation view in this app, unmatched by any other mastodon app I know. It‘s like Reddit.

Die App ist ein durchschnittlicher Mastodon, ohne aufwendige Funktionen. Davon gibt es mittlerweile einige, wer also Geld ausgeben will guckt sich eventuell lieber nochmal um.

I used Fenix for years and it was by far the smoothest app I had used, until Woolly released for Mastodon. The app runs very smooth on both my iPad and iPhone, offers a lot of customisation compared to the (very good) vanilla Mastodon app, and is actively supported by the dev. Subscribed for a full year, because you gotta support apps like Woolly!

for a great Mastodon client and a superb iOS app. And supposedly the author has many more things he wants to add to Woolly. No brainer to support the development for a few bucks.

It jumped out way ahead early with nearly full features but then they stopped developing it. I'll be moving on I guess.

The multi-columns and the ability to customize them makes very good use of the iPad’s screen real estate. It crashes sometimes when I’m scrolling on my iPad Pro. I hope this gets fixed soon. I also hope that the developer responds to questions and suggestions.

Best looking of the bunch, clean and tasteful design. Where it lacks for me, and what keeps me from using it more, is its speed and how it loads new posts. To compare - I don’t like Ivory’s design but they’ve totally nailed the content loading mechanism and speed; the haptics are also helpful. I’m hoping Woolly will see improvements here and eventually be comparable to Ivory in this respect.

My only gripe is that I’d like to be able to just tap the timeline button once to reach the very top of my feed. Right now I have to get to the top, pull to refresh, then tap the top of the page to get to the top again. If I’m really behind I might have to do that several times before I’m at the top.

Really like this app, and as other users mentioned the threaded feature of the app is really great! It has a really nice and minimal UI that I like as well. However one of the most annoying things I find about the app is that whenever I open the app after a day or two I have to sit and keep refreshing multiple times just to get to the latest posts. I don’t know if this is a feature, but it would be good to have a way to customize what the user wants to do!

It’s a crowded market for Mastodon clients and several are very good. Woolly stands out as feeling the fastest and does a great job keeping your place in the timeline. Gets the basics right and is a pleasure to use. Also has the best icon. 🐘
