As an experiment, I've done a brief review/overview of the Toot! app for iPhone/iPad:

➡️ fedi.tips/toot-for-iphone-ipad

Would you want me to do more of these overviews for other Fediverse apps? If so, is this format okay?

I've tried to keep the review brief and readable for people who are scrolling through lots of app overviews at once.

@feditips I use Toot! and I thought your capsule review was accurate and helpful. In general, I would welcome capsule reviews of apps from somebody who knows the fediverse.

@feditips
With your deep experience, ot's worth sharing more details around __why__ you liked X or Y: better than other apps? Helped you do something faster? Benefits of features are important. I liked the brevity but kind of wished this was just the TLDR; and you'd have more details below.

Agree with Toot!'s odd hiding of the search feature, took me forever to find it.

@feditips It looks good to me. I like the closed-source/etc. rundown at the top of the article, and the bullet points at the end are great.

I cherish the brevity of it. 🙂

I'm perfectly happy with Megalodon but would gladly read short reviews like these! Thanks for all the tips, btw!

@feditips tbh it's nice to see a review that doesn't read like the below, for a change.

"Therre are many <x> to choose from"
[...paragraph...]

"There is a wide variety of <x> out there"
[...paragraph...]

"So which <x> should you choose?"

[Should it be <y>?]

@feditips I like the idea. In fact, I went ahead and purchased #Toot.

The only thing is can you please tell me how to resize the font? It’s hard to see anything and I can’t find it in Settings
