#Ivory’s release is amazing news for Mastodon and the fediverse, but there is no shortage of great apps out there or in the making, such as:

- Woolly by @mttvll, the creator of Fenix

- Mammoth by @JPEGuin, the creator of Aviary

- Mastoot by @libei

- Ice Cubes by @dimillian

and many more...

It’s the indie social renaissance! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I'm trying #IceCubes now, thanks for the recommendation. I've been dissatisfied by all of the clients I've tried so far.

I tried #Ivory and was immediately put off by the "you have to sign up to favourite, but don't worry, we won't charge you yet". Pass.

Developers should get paid, no question. I should be able to have a short NSA trial first if you're going to charge me. There were strings attached to Ivory.

@advmoto @mttvll @JPEGuin @libei @dimillian @ommoran I have not used Ivory since it launched officially, and I understand your concerns, but that's due to how the App Store works: there are currently no other ways to offer a free trial outside the subscription process. I don't see how they could have done it differently, to be honest.

Thankfully, you can immediately disable the subscription in the Settings app, and you will not be billed after the free trial time is over.

For starters they could have told me how the app would be limited rather than making that limiting "discoverable"....
