By request, I've done a brief review/overview of the excellent third party Mastodon app @Tusky for Android:

➑️ fedi.tips/tusky-for-android/

It has lots of stuff missing from official Mastodon such as draft posts, post scheduling, custom timelines etc.

Hopefully this overview is accurate, do let me know if you spot mistakes.

Overall, it's a really solid app packed with features and an easy to use interface, anyone with an Android device should try it. Recommended πŸ‘

@feditips @Tusky I've been using Tusky as my app since I decided to put effort into Mastodon.

The only thing I miss is polls. I LOVE scheduling

@feditips @Tusky I've certainly not had any problems with it but I've not tried any other app

@Tusky is being my masto app since the very beggining and I love it. I just dont understand why it shows "ALT" on fotos with alt text. I don't get how it could be of any utility for VIP and it certainly just ad disturbing text on the mostly beautifull images which get really annoying for people without visual problems.

unfortunately it fires up Chrome (default browser)
when you want to sign up to Tusky on Android,, other apps have the same problem.

@feditips @Tusky My favorite Android app for Mastodon.

I see people looking for Fedi alternatives to Reddit. Have you already discussed that? TIA

I really appreciate the format you did this review in; to the point and easy to find information. I'm giving Tusky a try because of it.

Something I really miss in the online version is the ability to mute hashtags as easily as I can now follow them. It would just take another icon to click on at the top when I have clicked on and gotten a hashtag list.
Does Tusky do that?

@feditips @Tusky Any idea why I keep getting repeat notifications of someone liking or clicking on favourite on my pixelfed account posts on #tusky?
