Official apps now available for iOS and Android

Mastodon is now available on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Read about some of the design decisions we made for these apps!

Official Mastodon Blog
@Mastodon fdroid?
@Mastodon @santiago it's there:). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to connect to custom instances with it, not sure if it's a bug or a feature;)

@santiago @Mastodon

Available on https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/org.joinmastodon.android

You have to add the Izzysoft repository to the F-Droid or the Aurora Droid (or else) app first.

IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg), with additional screening applied. Updates for the apps are usually fetched daily, and you can expect daily index updates.

@ArmLeg @Mastodon well, it does not work

@santiago
Have you managed to add the @IzzyOnDroid repository to the F-Droid app?

If not, you may have a look here: https://www.f-droid.org/en/tutorials/add-repo/

Then, you may have to refresh the repos before doing a search to find the @Mastodon app.

@ArmLeg @IzzyOnDroid @Mastodon The mastodon app does not work, it crashed when trying to login to my instance.
@Mastodon Next macOS? Current iOS app is almost there using Catalyst 😎 @Gargron
@Mastodon
... und wieder nicht bei F-Droid. Es gibt Menschen, die entgoogelte Smartphones nutzen.
@XiongShui @Mastodon F-Droid Client ist noch in der Prüfphase durch das F-Droid Team

@XiongShui @Mastodon

Hier ist die mit drin, keine Ahnung wer das pflegt, würde vor nen paar Tagen als Antwort auf dieselbe Frage geben, klappt gut

@Mastodon "... and for the first time in Mastodon’s history, server admins are seeing ever increasing numbers of new sign-ups from mobile apps instead of the web interface."

Open project celebrating locking itself more into proprietary platforms. 🙃

@Mastodon interresting thing. Good to see that also Android gets an offical app. I'm currently using Tusky but I'll wait until the offical app provides more features.

@Mastodon

Woohow 🥳 Congrulations and, very thanks for your good/awsome work ! I believe this app and this platform will be even better in the future. I wish you success in your future steps / works!

@Mastodon Amazing! Looking forward to a true “true black” theme, including header and toolbar.
@Mastodon Can press "Sign in" and "Go" on Android, but I can't log in on either, only register. Maybe a bug?
@Mastodon wonder why I can't seem to find it on Aurora yet?
@Mastodon loving #Tusky. Not sure I'll move off of it, but this is definitely a step on the right path.
@Mastodon faudra m'expliquer pourquoi j'y ai pas droit :(
@Mastodon It's perfect!
@Mastodon as in the mobile client for Android.
@Mastodon vamos dominar o Mastodon galera!!! 🤪
@Mastodon Can I download it from f-droid?
@Mastodon lgtm :) (talking about the #ios #mastodon app, this seemn to be a cool piece of software)
@Mastodon Nice! This will definitely increase my usage. (And just in time!)
@Mastodon I can't log in if I try to use the app. How can I know my instance so I can select it?
@Danda Try typing in "mastodon.social" when you're looking for the instance and it should pop up - I was struggling with that for a while myself haha
@Danda it's part of your full profile name - you're on mastodon.social. And that add flow's search box also accepts a url; you can add instances that aren't listed.
@Mastodon Very happy there's an Android app, thank you :)
@Mastodon can’t login on iOS, says pw is wrong but guess which pw has gotten me to this reply? 
@Mastodon la aplicación está oculta de la play store. Yo la tuve que encontrar externamente 
@Mastodon It's about time! So glad to see this, especially with what is happening with Twitter right now!

@Mastodon Yoink! *installs it right away*
@Mastodon is it just me or isn’t it possible to edit your profile’s background image using the app?
@alopix @Mastodon same here, no reaction so far eh…
@Mastodon Timing could not be better.
@Mastodon The toggle to turn on true black mode is malfunctioning. It does turn true black mode on and off, but the toggle doesn't visibly change to indicate the difference
@Mastodon using side by side with "Muskter"
@Mastodon The app is beautifully designed but it is completely useless without Federated timeline. Ironic how the official Mastodon mobile app itself killed the purpose of Mastodon itself.
@Mastodon guys, you should care more for your own apps design. This on iOS isreally bothering:
