I have been using this for about a year now and have had no problems outside some very rare crashes. Feature set remains unbeatable at least compared to the official bsky app.

I've been using Skywalker for a couple of months, and mostly very impressed. So good to be able to keep track of where you stopped reading – a feature absent in the official Bluesky apps (and Twitter, since Musk blocked 3rd party apps). Occasionally I have to reboot when it fails to load new posts, but that could be my old phone. I'm grateful for the Android 6-8 support! Main request would be facilities for font-size, image-size, "screen real estate" etc.

Very nice client for the AT Protocol (the one used by Bluesky). Its killer feature is timeline rewinding, which always keeps your reading position! Give it a try!!
★★★★☆James Kephart· Nov 12, 2025
The best bluesky app I have tried. I got it specifically for the timeline rewind. It gets it within 4–5 posts of where you left off. The only issues I have are that scrolling through the timeline is sluggish, and it is hard to press on the show picture button without accidentally going into the thread view. Neither of them are major enough for me to stop using this app.

Scrolling broken. At the best of times scrolling is sluggish and unresponsive, but most of the time it's actually impossible to scroll down the feed rendering the app completely unusable. Scrolling desperately needs to be fixed, I don't know how you thought this was ready to be published.
★★☆☆☆Rogan Dixon· May 17, 2026
Scrolling is often unresponsive, especially in the notifications/alert tab when there are more than a couple of new posts. Once that's fixed, this could be a great, independent alternative to the Bluesky app.

Developer writes in the app "Skywalker comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. Thanks for the warning. App uninstalled.
★☆☆☆☆Mark Vague· Jan 21, 2026
Can't log in, just says protocol ""unknown with VPN on. And it loads super slowly every time you open it, it scrolls really slow like iOS. I don't know how this app got a 4.8 rating even gray sky is better than this.
