Are you still using the official Mastodon app? You don't have to!

There are loads of brilliant third party apps which work with your existing Mastodon account.

Unlike Twitter, Facebook etc, Mastodon uses open standards, which means third party apps can do everything the official apps do and more.

There are links to third party apps on the official Mastodon site, just scroll down past the official ones:

➡️ https://joinmastodon.org/apps

Click on Android, iOS etc to narrow down the app selection.

@feditips What are your current favorites for iOS?

@feditips https://phanpy.social/ doesn't have an app but looks great on mobile. After the latest update, the offical app isn't awful.

@feditips

In this case, the apps use the #Mastodon #Client #API.

This is more or less also adapted by other #Fediverse #software.

It's documented in an open way, but is not really an open standard.

Regarding the open standard #ActivityPub, the server-to-server part is used, but not the client-to-server part.

@feditips I have been testing a few. Toot!, Ivory and Ice Cubes are my current apps. I will take a look at a few of the other ones too!

@feditips Is there a roadmap for development on the official Mastodon app (Android in particular)? I really like the UI on it but it is missing some key features that Tusky has
