I'm impressed at how smoothly it works, especially with multiple accounts on both Mastodon and Pixelfed. Sharing from another app asking which account you want to post as is a particularly nice touch - I’ve had trouble with other apps (such as Instagram) where I share a photo and discover at the last stage of editing that it’s on the wrong account. The only things I miss are having a dedicated space for DMs and being able to set the focus point on image uploads.

Best Mastodon client for Android so far. The interface is fast and intuitive. Unlike the official Mastodon mobile apps, Tusky also reveals the local timeline for your server. Tusky is frequently updated and quick to support new Mastodon features.

Avoid the application, the developer censors and blocks instances in the application.

If anyone is wondering what Johxz is referring to, Tusky was capable of connecting to Gab, where all the right-wingers fled after the mainstream socials started booting them out. The devs then chose to block access to Gab. However, they have stated they will never block "any Mastodon instance".

This negative comment is a right wing tantrum.
