Good app, needs a tiny bit of polish
For one it’s hard to caption images because the image does not stay on screen when captioning, which is bad from an accessibility standpoint. And metrics don’t seem to work at all. However very polished after some updates, just needs a bit more work.
Outstanding Product!
This is turning into my favorite Mastodon app. Would like to see a few new features/options in the future.
Best design, few rough edges
I’ve tried several apps for Mastodon/Pleroma and Mast by far looks the best. I’ve run into a few strange bugs and crashes but that should smooth out as the app matures. Keep up the good work.
Nice app for mastodon
I switched to Mast after another app lost it’s support. It works well, supporting everything I use and is easy to use.
Accessibility is an afterthought
I want to like Mast, but when the rough edges for the app do appear, they’re usually in accessibility features. When I upload a photo to include in a toot, for example, there’s no obvious way to add a caption for screen reader users. I have to somehow know ahead of time to long-press the uploaded image, and even though it says it’s done uploading, I get an error when I try adding a caption saying I need to wait until it’s done uploading, even though I haven’t published the toot yet and the app already showed that the image was uploaded. This doesn’t work even when I save it as a draft, because when you do that it doesn’t save the image with the draft and you have to re-upload it and run into the same error. They got a good dark theme though, but that just reflects the priorities of the app.
