As an effective newbie – a recent returner to the #fediverse – I’m still trying out different iOS #apps to see which one suits me best

I used to use #Tootle, but it’s missing a few things

The #Mastodon app looks quite pretty, but it lacks core functionality

I also paid for #Mast , but it has significant bugs right now

At the moment, I’m switching back and forth between #Metatext and #Mercury , but leaning in favour of the former – except that I *hate* the high-contrast white-on-black 🤷‍♀️

@axnicho I’m using Metatext and I’m happy with it (love the possibility of changing the app icon). What’s with Mercury, can u tell me the difference?

@Lluvia_ Mercury actually has some more accessibility features, but I don’t like the way it does alt text addition, and when I tried to post the toot above using it, I ended up switching over because it spontaneously deleted the alt text in the middle of composing it

Worth a try though. Nicer theme options (it has options!), and really nice swipe and long swipe gestures
