My favorite so far. The loading speed and UI have improved a lot. It also lets you see the timeline of other instances and even subscribe to peertube channels (which I haven't tried yet). And it's full featured in terms of muting and showing pinned toots.

This is by far the best Mastodon client for Android, period. I use it to manage multiple Mastodon accounts across two different instances and it works great. Timeline updating is fast and reliable, it's easy to make posts and follow people, etc.

๐ A super app for federation network. ๐ Easy to use. ๐ Nice design. ๐ Have many great settings. ๐ถ Lacking in performance. ๐ถ Settings can be confusing.

Far from perfect. It doesn't have a good scrolling experience because you have to open EVERY SINGLE PICTURE due to the view window being WAY too small. Gifs are saved as videos, so they don't repeatedly loop. Finding new people is difficult because other user's following & followers tabs are broken. Not being able to tag a toot you boost/reblog makes your page impossible to find unless you post personal stuff, which is asking for people to save & repost it as their own, a big issue for artist.

Never worked no matter how I put my account name. Did anyone actually test this before putting it in the Play Store? Junk. No matter what you type, there's an error. I have an SGNote8 w full signal so it aint my phone!

Mastalab does not function with newer instances such as berries.space. I have tried everything and it refuses to function. Mastalab also is generally a bit too confusing and not something I'm into for a Mastodon app.

Posting is a little slow but useable, but as a viewer it leaves much to be desired. Gifs and videos rarely play. The link to load more toots often messes up and loads new toots above itself contrary to the settings and then disappears, not allowing additional toots to load without rebooting the app.
