Android Mastodon Apps: 1/5

1. "Official" Mastodon app, found when you search for Mastodon on Android/Google app store. It is very limited and does not show the federated timeline. It also doesn't allow multiple tabs -- I could only get three tabs working: Home timeline, local timeline, and notifications. My lists didn't show in app.

Accessibility: Screenreader did not read posts smoothly, some parts were garbled. Inputting image description was difficult and hard to pull up.

Recommend? No.

2. Yuito is a fork of Tusky. Can set to way more than 5 tabs: multiple hashtags, lists, home, local, federated, notification tabs. It has adjustable font size, dark/light themes, positioning tab toolbar, turn off colorful gradients on CW posts, show indicator for bots, and other accessible features. Has a limited bandwidth and wellbeing mode.

Accessibility: screenreader read posts well including user names. Image descriptions easy to add and view. Easy to navigate and post.

Recommend? Yes.

3. Tusky. All the features I mentioned in Yuito is also on Tusky. However, Tusky limits the tab count to five: home, local, federated, notifications, and final tab can be hashtags or lists. It has all the same options as Yuito, except it does not have a low bandwidth mode.

Accessibility: screenreader read posts well and smoothly. Image description easy to add and read. Posts are easy to write and interface easy to navigate.

Recommend? Yes.

@Aaidanbird Is it available on Google Play?
