Ivory is on the App Store now - highly recommended. I’ve been on the beta for a while now, and subscribed immediately.

@jamesthomson was on the test flight, installed and subscribed!

@jamesthomson

Yearly fee as attached.Do you know what premier is? Can it be evaluated without subscribing?

Subscription is a good model for this type of software if there is a way to evaluate it.

UPDATE: you need to subscribe then remember to unsubscribe to do a trial. I’ll wait on this.

@jgordon There is a week’s free trial. I believe premier is just currently a way to support them a bit more.

@jamesthomson

You have to remember to cancel or you get into the weekly subscription cycle. I know the App Store is hell to deal with but Ithought there were better trial policies.

@jgordon I think this is pretty standard these days with the free trials on subscriptions.

@jamesthomson

Thanks! You probably can tell I do almost no subscriptions. I’ll wait until it’s matured a bit.

@jgordon @jamesthomson

If you pick the one month option, you’ll pay $1.99 in one weeks time and then have a full month to claim a refund from apple or cancel and suck up the financial loss 😝

During this month, there’ll be notifications about your subscriptions which might serve as a reminder.

If you’re really wanting to be reminded in that first week I find emailing
[email protected] works really well…

@jgordon @jamesthomson

Or you could just cancel immediately and it’ll keep working until 7 days after you started.

@jamesthomson Damn global CDN propagation. Not seeing it yet.

Dear deity, pls give me patience (and I want that patience NOW).

@jamesthomson Not coming up for me. Do I need to change settings to see early access apps?
@kevingamin No, it’s probably just a propagation thing - it should arrive soon.
@jamesthomson Ahh, patience, my old friend. We meet again.
@kevingamin @jamesthomson I had the same problem, but got to it using the link in the MacStories article.
@kevingamin @jamesthomson I also couldn’t find it when searching for ivory, so I searched ’tapbots’ and it was two taps away…
@applewise @kevingamin Interesting!
@jamesthomson @kevingamin perhaps searching for ivory can’t work because every other developer in the world has been adding ‘ivory’ as a keyword for the last couple months 🤔
@jamesthomson Yes! Been waiting for this. Long time Tweetbot user.
@jamesthomson yes!!! I can stop searching the store every hour now.
@jamesthomson stoked for this. However, confused by this bit
@eric_capuano @jamesthomson because NSFW stuff exists on Mastodon ( . )( . )
@Sonikku you know what, I’m dumb. I misread it as the age of the app 🤷🏻‍♂️
@eric_capuano OH haha yeah that’d be confusing
@eric_capuano It’s basically because it can read the unfiltered internet!
@jamesthomson @caseyliss also this is clearly the best app icon!
@jamesthomson why did you subscribe? What feature or features made you pull the trigger?
@in_sympathy Mainly wanting to support a small indie dev company that just had their livelihood taken away overnight. But I like the feel of the UI a lot more than the other apps I’ve tried.
@jamesthomson cool, thanks for sharing 👍
@jamesthomson interesting. I am now torn as I am using IceCubes and love it! These are good problems though. 😊
@jamesthomson same. First order of business though, change the app icon. Lol
@jamesthomson Ice Cubes is also a terrific app, and free.
@jamesthomson same here, an insta-purchase of the premium subscription for me. I want Tapbots to have maximum support to help them make Mastodon a truly viable alternative to the other site. It already looks great and works very well despite it’s “early access” status. Go get it folks! 👍👍
@jamesthomson available in Australia - installed just now and loving it
@jamesthomson Thanks. I really need to start playing with it. I noticed that there was no Mac version of it though :’-(
@cortig They are working on it - so far some screenshots have been posted.
@jamesthomson thanks for letting me know. I can’t wait!! :-)
