If you’re a @phanpy fan using an iPhone or iPad, and you’re in the EU or Japan (where @altstore PAL is available), good news 👀

I’ve made a native iOS build that you can install right now through AltStore PAL! It's called... iPhanpy.

It’s still Phanpy at its core, just without the usual iOS PWA headaches. It feels smoother, stays longer in memory, and even comes with a neat Liquid Glass app icon.

If you have AltStore PAL installed, you can copy the link below and add it as a source inside AltStore:

And if you don't have access to AltStore PAL, no worries: it's gonna be available on the App Store soon!

iPhanpy is now available on the App Store too!

I wrote a blog post detailing what it is and why you might like it.

And if you want to just go ahead and download it, here's the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/app/iphanpy-for-mastodon/id6755365082

Oops, as usual it looks like this build has some issues logging in to some instances. I'm pushing 1.5.1 to hopefully fix all of them. Waiting for Apple review to let it go out🫡

@fantinel I don’t see it on AltStore, are you waiting for the review to happen to push it there as well? Thanks!

@xiu yeah… Apple needs to approve AltStore apps as well.

@fantinel oh, I didn’t know they were in the loop when publishing on AltStore. Thanks again!

@xiu yeah, it’s a faster and way less restrictive review, but still needed. I was surprised to learn that as well
