Free version not useful. Can't use basic mastodon functionality. This app store listing is like a demo of the actual product... without basic functionality.

Easily the best app. The functionality is perfrct, does everything a standard Mastodon app should do, and the amount of customization is huge. I've tried a handful of apps for Mastodon on Mac and this one is easily the best.

Great app, but need some slight work with voiceover.. I had to call Apple accessibility so that I could get a little assistance visual wise with this app. When you find a persons profile, their picture, along with their followers, who they follow, and the follow button are all in one box. Voiceover is not able to read the follow button. You have to swipe left to the more button, then swipe right to the send a request button to the follower you want to follow. When you turn, voiceover off, the button shows up as blue. When you turn voiceover on the button shows up as gray. Voiceover is not reading this. Other than that small complaint, this app is very good. I recommend it to anyone who wants to use this app.

Best Mastodon Client. Period.. One time price for all devices. Powerful enough for professional and normal users. I mean POWERFUL.

There is much to like. This app checks off so many boxes for a Mastodon Power User.

Best Fediverse Client. Mona is absolutely the best client for the Fediverse. It’s fast, it’s customizable, and it’s rock solid. I have used all the other apps and none of them can do what Mona can. The one-time purchase is also nice knowing you don’t have to sub to it. The dev is constantly improving the app. Buy it today and you won’t be sorry.

Great customization but can be slow at times.. The app would be the killer Mastodon client with the insane levels of customization and the divide view, but whenever I would upload photos to my post, I’m getting “An error occurred while sending your post - The connection timed out. Please check your network settings.” Sometimes the post would still somehow send, and other times, it’s lost to oblivion. Then on a recent occasion, spamming the same post multiple times! Even happens when I’m on WiFi and stable connection. I tested this out on other third party Mastodon clients and don’t run into this issue, so definitely not an issue with the app or the instance I’m on.

Thumbs up. Great app

Such a superior app in almost every way. This app is so polished and works near flawlessly. The only thing I struggle with is when post have a lot of comments. Mona only shows the first comment for replies, and for the rest you have to tap through. It’s really painful when there are lots of comment branches. I hope they consider threaded comments that are all shown hierarchically all on the same page. Basically like Reddit and similar comments are organised. Wolly does an excellent job in this respect (although is less polished in most others).

This app is so close to perfect except it does filter replies.. I make sure that the filter for my home page has replies unchecked because they're usually just a random reply with no context I don't want on my feed. Unfortunately I'm still getting replies in my feed. This issue has been around for multiple updates and it's making the app unusable. IDK how anyone on the fediverse deals with so many replies in their feed. If this gets fixed then I can update this review to also include all the good things I love about this app.

Great app, one problem. Absolutely love the app, it's a great way to browse Mastodon and pairs perfectly with the iPhone app. I plan to buy the Pro version once my trial runs out in a few days. The only issue is that notificatons do not seem to show up on my Mac, and only on my phone. That's not a huge issue but I would like to see it fixed. And yes I do have notifications turned on.

Best Matodon App. I’ve tried most of the other Mastodon apps and Mona is, in my opinion, the best one. The layout is fluid and it has reading and editing features that set it apart from other apps, as well as the ability to customize the interface to your liking. Well worth the cost!

Great App for iOS and Mac. This is an incredibly good app that is frequently updated and ranks up there with the best social media apps I've used on either platform. It's also got a beautiful user interface that makes Mastodon much more fun. I've just about tried all of them, too. You have to try this out before you spend money on a Mastodon app. I paid for this one.

A request. Please add the ability to mute posts like in Spring. 🙏

Superb. The been app for Mastodon

$20 is way too steep for an open source platform. You can't do anything in this app without paying the $20 the developers want. Considering that Mastodon is run by volunteers who rely on donations, the developers charging more than a few dollars to be able to do anything with this app seems ludicrous.

I was going to purchase but…. So after the trial I was like this is really cool. I think I’ll support it. But after the trial I wasn’t able to favorite or reblog and i was like, those are standard features. That shouldn’t be paywalled. So i decided not to contribute and delete the app

My preferred Mastodon client.. I love the customization, but the defaults are sensible as well. And so many commands can be exposed to the user. My killer feature is the robust share sheet for a post, allowing you to customize what is sent. Most apps would just send the link to the post. Mona allows you to send: - The author's name - Date of the post - The text of the post (!) - Link (of course) - Screenshot of the post (!) ...Or any combination of the above, which can be much more useful for several reasons. Other features I enjoy: - Loading posts directly from the remote server. - Viewing *all* the favorites and reposts, even those on other instances (which the 1st-party Mastodon app doesn't appear to be offer). - Very affordable compared to Ivory (and I love Tapbots' work), allowing me to give more towards keeping the Mastodon instances afloat. I could keep going. Keep up the great work!

Best Subscription-less Client for Mastodon. Incredibly flexible. Very Mac-like interface design. Superbly customizable Mastodon client. Publishes instantaneously. Lyrical sound effects. What more could you want?

The Best App for Mastodon. Mona is beautifully-designed, easy to use and endlessly customizable. It offers all of the features I’m looking for in a Mastodon app. It’s simply amazing!

THE BEST for Mastodon. I’ve tried every major Mastodon app out there, having beta tested for most of them, including Mona. Mona offers, by far, the best Mastodon experience. It had virtually every feature I can think of needing and an exceptional ability to customize your app. Even better, those customizations and themes carry across devices without issue. I’ve loved Mastodon and out of the 10 or so Mastodon apps I’ve used, Mona is my favorite by quite a lot. It’s the only mastodon app I have on my iPhone, Mac, and iPad. Very much worth the price!

Absolutely fantastic--both dev and app. When Musk took over Twitter, I knew it wouldn't be long before the place became an even more horrible cesspool, so I migrated to Mastodon. While Mastodon's basic browser interface is fine if you were used to Twitter's regular interface, the advanced interface with columns left a lot to be desired. I tried five or six apps that gave features I used to rely on in Tweetdeck, but each of them had design issues that were too glaring to ignore. Until Mona. Participating in the beta showed me that the dev knew how to make a solid, sleek interface on both mobile and desktop to cater to almost every need you could have. There's SO MUCH CUSTOMIZATION HERE! And not once--even during beta--have i had crashes or errors (save for an error that is on Mastdon's side, not Mona's). If you want columns, you got 'em. If you don't, you don't have to! Everything from URL colors to icon order and text font is customizable. And the beta showed that the dev is quick to respond to anyone's needs. Seriously, give Mona a try before anything else, and I'd bet you'll fall in love.

Most Up to Date and Feature Supporting App for Mastodon. I’ve been using this app since the beta-only stage and it’s always been on the cutting edge of Mastodon support. It has stayed that way with frequent updates. As the developer stresses, it’s very customizable allowing the user to control what features are displayed and where in addition to general appearance. I prefer to leave almost everything as default except for hiding all controls when reading. It’s great! I also customized the swipe actions to quickly call translation for multilingual support. Mona syncs timeline, notifications, and many settings across your devices and supports macOS natively. Yes, it’s a paid app but well worth the one-time cost for folks who are serious about taking advantage of all the Fediverse has to offer.

Best app for accessibility, period. It’s hard for me to say if I prefer Ivory, or Mona. But it’s unquestionable that at the time of writing Mona is easily the most customizable, and best app for those with accessibility needs. It’s a great app for general use too! Plus unlike Ivory there’s no subscription here. Just a one time payment to unlock all functionality. I highly recommend this app

Find me a better app for Mastadon! This one is customizable, accessible, fast and easy-to-use!. In terms of customizability, accessibility and user-friendliness, Mona is just the app! works wonderfully for users who need a versatile, accessible and easy-to-use interface to Mastodon!

Great app just got even greater. The latest update adds a setting to reverse the directions of feeds. This was the only complaint I had about the app and now it's perfect!

Best of the bunch. I've tried several Mastodon clients, and this is by far the best. Not only is it feature rich, but each version, iPad, iPhone, Mac, takes full advantage of the the device you're using. Thank you to the developer for a fantastic Mastodon experience!

Left Ivory for Mona. Rock solid timeline. It’s extensibility is amazing. It’s automation is the best. No bugs detected. Also a one time purchase. I’ll occasionally tip if it gets better. Sad I never tried the twitter client. I was too into tweetbot.

Hangs on connecting to server. I wasn't able to get to login even. Once I select the server it brings a browser in focus but doesn't open the login page 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely the best. I’ve tried a lot of the Mastodon iOS apps but this one is my favorite. Not only is it very smooth and fast, it looks great too, with a user interface that matches the look and feel of the operating system. The closest comparison to Mona is perhaps Ice Cubes, but that app has a lot of bloat to the UI and feels a bit slower. Also, Mona allows more customization than any of the apps I tried. Best thing? No stupid monetization model. I gladly paid for the Pro Max version of this app to get it on all my Apple devices. And since it’s a one time fee, I can enjoy it as long as I want and not have to worry about paying monthly like some other apps. Big thumbs up from me.

best iPad app i have seen in years. This developer understands the iPad in a way that most developers do not. I love this app. It made me replace Ivory. I do wish it had some audio feedback or even haptic feedback (on iPhone) like Ivory does, but other than that this is by far the best mastodon app I have encountered yet.

Basic functionality locked behind paywall. The most basic functionality of mastodon like favoriting and reposting toots, not to mention the ability to filter and mute posts, and which is basically required to make mastodon usable at all, are locked behind a 12 dollar paywall, or a 20 dollar one if you want to use the app on more than one device. I would rather pay a 3 dollar subscription every month then pay that much up front. Give us options, or maybe have the balls to make the app fully paid instead of offering a gimped app and charging to make it useable.

Great app. This along with Spring have been really great apps 👍 thanks for putting so much effort into them and pricing them so reasonably

THE BEST MASTODON APP. That’s a big claim, Peter! Well I’ve tried most of the iOS Mastodon clients and Mona is (in my humble opinion) the hands-down best. Almost every aspect of the app can be configured letting you configure it to suit your way of using Mastodon.

Superb execution of a Mastodon client. I’ve tried many Mastodon clients and this one is head and shoulders above the rest on all three platforms, phone, iPad and Mac. The innovation and attention to detail is impeccable. And today I came across the icing on the cake. I turned on an old iPod touch 6th gen to use as an airplay music controller and noted a bunch of Mastodon clients downloaded while it was dormant. Most were grayed out and inoperative, but Mona seemed live. When I clicked on it, the app said it needed a bit of extra code to run on the iPod’s ancient iOS 12.5, and asked if I wanted to download that small bit of code. Sure, I said, and the code was quickly downloaded and installed. I signed in, and Mona operates beautifully on this ancient device. How thoughtful! Thanks to the developer for this extra bit of attention to detail.

Private but useless unless you buy MonaPro. I was delighted to try this free app, until I tried to boost a post. That’s when the MonaPro message popped up to inform that I needed to try the 14-day trial (or buy) to get this feature. Same for favouriting. You can’t boost, favourite, etc., the most basic of “features.” The App page has no “in app purchase” or “14-day trial” info — how deceptive and disappointing. Unless you trial or buy the Pro version, this app is nothing but a big frustrating ad/demo for the real paid app. Uninstalling, low rating for deceptive practices and lousy demo design.

Pure Gold. Can’t say enough about this app. It’s the best Mastodon client out there. Get the Max pro the value is amazing. It’s a one time payment (no subscription!) and that alone is worth paying for the app.

In a crowded field of Mastodon apps, this is the one you want. Highly configurable with robust support for theming. I’ve tried others — many of which are very good — but I keep coming back to Mona on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Crappy app. For crappy network
