Right now I'm using the official app, but this thread has definitely given me a lot of other ones to check out.

Does anything other than Phanpy have boost carousel? That is amazing

I use Ice Cubes normally and Phanpy when I want to just skim boosts

Ivory, (Going to check out Mona now) and just checked out phanpy. It's pretty great, i like the way the multi-column layout works, I found it more intuitive than mastodons native web client. I wish in the multi-column I could add a box for posting instead of the feather icon in the corner.....unless you can and I haven't figured out how.

Was using Ivory, but you can't disable haptics. I HATE haptics inside of apps like that so that's an instant uninstall. Moved over to Mona and been very happy there.

Been trying to use Ice Cubes due to it being free and open-source, but I feel like it’s just way too slow to load up new posts, making using Mastodon feel like a chore. Anybody else experience this? Is paying for Ivory worth it as an alternative?

Toot! On iOS. Fedilab on android. Elk on desktop/browser.

I’ve heard a few namely Ivory, Mona, Mammoth, Ice Cube, Trunks, couple others…. I used Ivory for a while but switched to Mona when they started supporting following other servers. They seem to roll out features faster than Ivory. I really like the feel of both apps but I personally use Mona. I had already bought Spring before so I got a discount buying pro.

EDIT: I forgot to include phanpy! It’s a web client but I added it to my Home Screen as a web app. I really like how all the threads are displayed on there. I use this sometimes when not using Mona. Phanpy makes it easier to get through threads and boosts on my home feed
