We gave tapbots' Mastodon app a hands-on, and it feels like a new standard has been set for third-party apps on the social platform.
before, Ivory will feel very familiar to you; but even if you haven't, it's laid out like a Twitter app, so someone coming to Mastodon as a new user will feel at home. You've got a bar for notifications, mentions, search and your profile, but you can customize three of these if you want easier access for filters, favorite toots and more.
There are plenty more ways to make Ivory your own, such as by changing themes and color styles, alongside many different icons, including one that honors Tweetbot. You can make the app your own with all of these options, which should appeal to someone moving over from Twitter to Mastodon.that you can place on your iPhone and iPad home screens, so you can display your latest followers, images from your timeline, statistics and much more.
For a version 1.0 release, there's plenty to enjoy here if you're on Mastodon, but it's not a surprise. Tapbots has taken what it learned from Tweetbot and carried that into Ivory, and it shows. It feels as though Ivory has set a standard for other third-party apps to aspire to, and shown the way forward for developers – that is, by focusing on their own style, rather than trying to adapt to Mastodon as they go.
It's an impressive release that's already on my iPhone and iPad – and I'd love to see a macOS version next.Sign up to get breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis and more, plus the hottest tech deals!Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
