Hello all! Is there a way to update the Mastodon app? It doesn’t seem to be working well for me (I have an iPhone - is that relevant?) … By way of an apology for such a boring request, here’s a pic of me admiring an apotropiac phallus on the Greek island of Delos last week …

it probably already is updated, as the app store should take care of that if you check for updates normally. but updates or not it's not considered one of the better iOS mastodon apps out there any more. Better ones have come along since you were last here. 😉 Might try eg: @ivory (my choice, by makers of TweetBot) @IceCubesApp

(Decapitated? Ouch! Also - hello again!)

You'll get a million and one app recommendations - the default app is indeed a bit ... underwhelming, but there are *loads* of alternatives. A blessing and/or a curse?

I really like Ivory, but it's a paid thing ($15 a year): apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-fo…

Radiant - really new, looks quite swish, free for most functionality: apps.apple.com/gb/app/radiant-…

Ice Cubes - free, rather fancy: apps.apple.com/us/app/ice-cube…

+1 for @ivory from me, but also check out Metatext, tooot and “Toot! for Mastodon”

The official app isn't particularly well thought of, I believe
