@ai6yr Could not find anywhere other than a handful of apps that could re size the font of Mastadon’s so I uploaded an app called #tusker. It’s another app to get used to but the font size matches my phone now so it’s easier to see👀👋

Von #Avaaz @avaaz

In wenigen Tagen könnte #Tansania's Präsidentin das Todesurteil für die beeindruckendsten #Elefanten Afrikas verhängen –  indem sie neue Lizenzen erteilt, die den Reichen die #Trophäenjagd zu Sportzwecken erlaubt. Forschende, Umweltschützende und indigene Völker schlagen Alarm, und die Zeit drängt.

Ein 30-jähriges Verbot der #Elefantenjagd steht auf dem Spiel. #SuperTusker #Tusker

Fordere @suluhusamia auf, es hier zu schützen: secure.avaaz.org/campaign/de/a

I think the thing that’s keeping me from being as active on the Fediverse as I would like to be is that I can’t find an iOS Client that doesn’t have at least one major drawback.

#MastodonforiOS doesn’t let you post animated GIFs
#Tusker doesn’t have Push Notifications
#IceCubesApp doesn’t make links distinct touch targets that you can long press to open the action sheet (for copying, sharing, adding to Reading List etc.) and sometimes the post composer just randomly fails to work

@IceCubesApp @tusker It eventually started working after about a 30-minute delay. However, a remaining gripe is how much battery it uses, even in an iPhone 15 Pro (39%) within 25 hours. #Tusker and #Mastoot use a fraction of that (<10%). I know #IceCubesApp has more features, but that’s a big difference. Either way, I’ve contributed to the apps and will continue to keep an eye on future updates. Thanks to all the devs for the vibrant third-party client ecosystem.

@DigitalGemini

I went on to look around..

#metatext good reviews but has been archived since 2022 so I uninstalled right away

#mammoth has really critical reviews. Saying the dev has abandoned the app and sold off and is a "VC SCAM" so it has made me weary. Installed it anyway.. it's buggy..

#tusky does not plan on doing an IOS version

#tusker was okay but I didn't like that I couldn't see how many boosts or comments on a post while in the timeline

#IceCubesApp 🥰

@blackdeth @IceCubesApp I started with Ice Cubes but sometimes its performance can be a little wonky, even on a new phone. It has a packed feature set though. I think I have settled on #Tusker for now as it’s light and has the feature set I have the most use for. It’s also well-designed from a UI/UX standpoint. Mastoot, Tooot, and Mammoth are other solid free options. People seem to like Mona and Ivory as paid options. Plenty of choices, so hopefully you find one that works best for you. 👍🏻
