Musk sold about $8 billion in Tesla stock to help finance the Twitter purchase, which happened before the share price tumbled. When I quit engaging regularly on Twitter in mid December and made Mastodon my social network homestead , there were a handful of decent apps for iPhones and iPad. I didn’t count them at the time, but when I first looked in the App Store, I was … underwhelmed. I grabbed the official Mastodon iOS app, along with one called Metatext and made the latter the main way I used Mastodon on my iPhone at first.
As more people sign up for a presence on one of the many Mastodon instances the number of apps on both iOS and Android has exploded. There are now dozens of them available, and two very good ones appeared in Apple’s App Store last week. The free version is good for seven days, then becomes read-only. You can subscribe to the app for $1.99 a month, $14.99 a year or, if you’re feeling generous, $24.99 a year. Once you use Ivory, the generous tier feels appropriate – it’s that good. Oh, and a macOS version is coming later this year.
