   There is a big opportunity to make a better Mastodon iPhone app right now.

   The one I’m using has a lot of bugs and weird decisions built into it. At the same time, I acknowledge it’s the best one I know of.

   I wish the official app was better, but it isn’t.

     @rob IceCubesApp and Ivory are the gold standard for me.

     @rob most apps won't update automatically...IceCubesApp just added the option but it can cause lag so it's off by default. I think it's called "Live Feed" or something similar.

     @BeAware
     I've been having issues with Ivory. They don't support audio files. The share sheet doesn't serve up other users, which makes it hard to share links directly without opening the app. And the *BIGGEST* annoyance, when I am in a conversation, the app doesn't update. So I cannot see my replies without refreshing the feed.

     Also, I don't have a Mac and so Ivory's integration with other platforms isn't important to me.

     Thanks for the Ice Cubes recommendation. I am downloading now.

     I don’t see Feditext in the App Store. I’ve tried Metatext, but the UI isn’t very good.

     Ice Cubes is a little ugly (garish?), but it seems to do much of what I want. I’m having issues with notifications not showing up in iOS.

     @rob Also besides #icecubesapp have a look at #feditext which is the successor of #Metatext
