Mastodon iOS apps: Mona vs Ice Cubes
The biggest dealbreaker on Ice Cubes for me is that you can’t add a new line when writing a post. On Mona you can, and it feels a bit more polished in general, the interface is more Apple-like.
At the same time, Ice Cubes is fully free whereas Mona is freemium, and the worst part — it’s a subscription. I could pay 10 euros for an app, but I would never ever sign up for a subscription.
Now, the free version is fine. I don’t care about multiple accounts. The only thing that bothers me is that tab bar editing is locked behind a sub, and choosing swipe actions too, but it’s not a big deal, it’s still fully usable.
What do you guys use on #ios ?

I have lifetime Mona (paid only for the new major version, no subscription) and am happy with the purchase. Also testing Mastoblaster with my Snac, it's in heavy development but (for Snac specifically) is promising.

@max I think lifetime is available only if you’ve bought previous versions of Mona. Now it’s only a sub

@alexh thank you for mentioning MastoBlaster. It’s an mastodon app (with snac support) so works well on Mastodon instances
