Have been using Mammoth 2.0 for a few days now and it’s battling Ivory on my main homescreen! LOL It’s such a nice revision of the app. Being able to scroll left to right and vice-versa on one screen to view all the lists I am following is my favorite part of the app. Very intuitive. I also really like the sounds it makes when you navigate and do certain things in the app. Usually I have that turned off but I’ve kept it on! They admittedly have some work to do in scrolling issues and other stuff but it’s the first iteration. They are very active and plan to make regular updates so I can’t complain about that at all. I decided to support them and paid the $20 yearly. I have no prob paying to help make the apps that are important to me continue to be successful and out out updates. So I’m looking forward to see what the Mammoth team has in-store next.
Well done, developers! Love the feed that shows each post and boost separately rather than grouped together. Makes it easier to view! And love that it’s easy to see someone’s individual posts rather than all their re-boosts. And thank you for the featured interest feed! Love how I can find new people to follow with shared interests!
“All activity” shows everything like it should, but there’s no where to approve follower requests. Just tells you that you have follower requests and won’t let you approve or deny them in any fashion. The notification only takes you to that user’s profile. Furthermore, swiping over to the “follows” section of notifications only shows you who has been approved - totally leaves out follower requests which should also be there to approve/deny.
Mastodon hasn't become an addiction to replace the formerly fun bird network that's just for toxic people and fascists now. That's fine. But it means I sometimes don't open Mammoth for days. When that happens, getting to the most recent stories, skipping the posts I missed over the past few days, is an exercise of scrolling up, refreshing the feed, and repeating. Endlessly. Why on earth would this not just skip to the most recent posts?
I almost never leave reviews on try App Store, but this app made browsing Mastodon infinitely better and I would recommend this to anyone looking to try out Mastodon. In comparison, the official app is clunky, has too little customization and a giant font. This app is smooth, has beautiful UI, and is highly customizable.
I’ve wanted to join Mastodon for a long time but couldn’t deal with the complexity. Mammoth to the rescue! It was a breeze to sign up taking just a couple of minutes. Follow suggestions and smart lists connected me to my interests and the For You feed is helping me discover new accounts. It’s the best new app and an absolute joy to use.
I’m so happy to have discovered Mammoth app. I followed a bunch of cool people and scoped out the amazing smart lists. What a great idea! So many topics to choose from! My favorite list is about pixel art and the recommendations on the For You feed have been great. Great app!
I’m not a fan of the navigation at the bottom. I wish they just went with standard iOS design elements. I’m also not a fan of the change to a heart instead of the star for likes. Other than that the algorithms for smart lists is pretty neat. I’ll keep it installed to see how it improves over time but I still greatly prefer Ice Cubes for Mastodon.
This is my favorite fediverse app on iOS. The devs don’t seem to check (or ignore) support requests within the app. It is nicely designed, but it has issues and it seems difficult to communicate those issues to their developer(s).
I’ve been using it since the betas and it was clean, fast, functional, and gave me the customization I was looking for. The new 2.0 release added features I am not interested in and dropped support for the ones I am.
This is my favorite Mastodon client by far! Clean, modern design with a dark mode. The only thing I don't like is how threads are handled--hoping they can add indentation support soon!
There are other good Mastodon apps out there but I can honestly say that almost immediately after trying this out, it became my primary client. I have only opened another client twice since, once was to use a feature that Mammoth does not yet have and the other was to compare how something was implemented. That is it, have not really looked back. The app is new but the development team seems really strong & experienced and devoted to what they are doing and to doing it well. Congrats on a job well done and thank you for that! Almost forgot to add that this app has features I have not found in the other handful of clients I have tried so far. Lots of useful, nifty, extra features sprinkled throughout the app. And it is tiny.
Mammoth is one of seven Mastodon apps I’ve tried over time. Every time I try a new one out, I always go back to it. The UX is so intuitive and pleasing. It’s very customizable and has some easy-to-use features, such a browsing other communities, that you don’t find anywhere else. Definitely a favorite!
I've been using this since the betas and it has promise but still has a few major bugs. The first is that a sync takes about 5 seconds on a fast connection. It also sometimes confuses posts and will put the content of one post in another one, attributing the text to someone else's account and avatar. And today I replied with an image upload and the post screen went away as if it was posted but the post disappeared! I posted it again and the same thing happened. I looked through the web interface and the replies just never showed up.
This is a really great design and I love the customization options. But, despite all my iOS notifications settings and in-app notifications settings being set to “on,” I’m not getting any notification alerts or notification count bubbles whatsoever. I’ve seen this be a problem across 3rd Party Mastodon apps, so maybe it’s something to do with the instance I’m in. But, it’s really bizarre, because when I go into Mammoth, it shows that I have unread notifications, but the app isn’t sending me any alerts at all.
Over all I enjoy this app and I’m pretty new to Mastodon but one thing that bugs me about the app is the unused space on the left hand side. It’s just user icons and then a half inch of empty space. That was one of the first things that bugged me right as I launched the app and I was hoping there was a setting to change it but I’ve had no luck finding any. The app does have a nice ui otherwise and lots of setting that the official app doesn’t seem to have.
Recently got tired of some of the limitations of the official Mastodon app and went around looking for third parties. I do like this one, although my only annoyance is that instance emojis still don't work. There's been two bug reports on the Github and I would like to be able to see emojis functioning, because otherwise Mammoth is a pretty solid application from what little of it I've used.
I’ve tried multiple apps for Mastodon, and this one comes closest to my ideal. It’s the first I’ve used that syncs with the filters I’ve established via the website, and it allows me to add hashtags to the filter within the app. I hope a future release allows me to remove hashtags from filters too. Other aspects of the app are highly customizable. I’m still learning all its hidden powers.
I think I finally found a Mastodon client that I like a lot. Easy to navigate. I love the feature where it can scan the words on a meme or post and write it out for the alt text. I only knew of one other place that did that. Saves me a lot of time.
Tends to generate some of the most recent 3 hours of posts (which really isn’t very many posts at all), but then there will be a gap in displayed posts that’s days old and there doesn’t appear to be a way to load posts from between those times. It’s not like all the people I’m following simultaneously decided to stop posting during that time, so why can’t I see them on my feed?
iOS 16.6.1, iPad Pro 12.9" (Fourth Generation) Lots of features, onboarding is good, but the one feature I really need is sharing Tweets (might as well call them that now), so crashing instantaneously on tapping the Share button is a little disappointing. To be fair, when I click through to the "tweet" page, Share works. It only crashes from timeline Also, where's the embed function?
Possibly not compatible with other Fediverse platforms
The app is excellent. Best I’ve used on iOS so far. That said, it’s become apparent that you cannot see the posts of non-Mastodon users (e.g. view a user’s profile, where posts should be it just spins). I hope they get this fixed soon because this is a 5 star app otherwise. As is, it’s a black eye for something connected to the Fediverse.
I’m not sure if you’re looking for that but that’s what I was, and boy am I happy about it. The app is great, wish there was something like it on web haha
Mammoth UI is super slow and buggy. Loading feeds take time. Liking or reposting is slow and lags quite a bit I like a post but it still wouldn’t show. If I do it again, sometime it will show -1. In general there are small glitches throughout the system.
A focus on UX and function makes this the best Mastodon client available. Bonus points for anyone self-hosting: say goodbye to complex and incomplete relays! Mammoth seamlessly pulls in ALL replies and posts from the remote server, so you see the full conversation.
This is the best social media app in the App Store! Tons of customization options, scheduled posts, post translations, post recommendations, and entertaining button sounds and animations. A true delight!
I’ve been trying to leave Twitter - too much toxic spam. Mammoth makes Mastodon easy to get into for regular folks like me. It’s like moving to a Canada with good sunny weather.
Bugs remain since initial release but it’s an overall good experience
There are two bugs that annoys me since its initial release: 1. Notifications doesn’t provide any information, just this emoji -> 🎉 2. My main feed cuts the toots in a quarter of its exhibit, messing up the whole experience (hard to describe in text only). There’s nothing on the app or the website where I can file a bug report, send an e-mail or whatever... and until the day I can properly report these problems, my review is as follows.
I love everything about this app, but I wish it supported custom emoji. When users put custom emoji in their posts, they don't show up when those posts are viewed in Mammoth. Aside from that, it's the perfect Mastodon experience
Buggy. Interface buttons disappear. Random refresh issues. Random freezing. Official and Teletext are more along and I wound up going back. Neat interface though. Needs to address stability issues.
This app actually works!! Took me like two seconds. Ive been trying FOREVER to get my login to work on Mastodon and it would NEVER work. TYTY Mammoth team! 😃
There doesn't seem to be any way to refresh more than the top handful of toots. So my feed is always a couple new items and then everything else is dated days to weeks old. it's been like this for a while so I'm just given up.
There are some bugs, but it’s an early release. I have bigger concerns about the company’s lack of transparency so far, especially regarding financial backers. Watching.
A very nice-looking and highly-customizable client, excellent for browsing. Unfortunately, though, it often silently fails to create posts or replies, and I have to switch to the official client to do so.
1. Emojis in post can not be seen. 2. I can’t read someone’s posts if I did not follow him. Except for above two this client are excellent, wish it to be improved.
Very much appreciate the “top friends” feature and the ability to switch accounts. Could still use a little polish with core functions though (timeline display, posting, etc). Very promising
I heard about this new site and wanted to give it a try well as soon as I logged in to the account my account would not load I tried closing the app and opened up more times than I could count and it just wouldn’t load pure rubbish I give this a 1 star!!
