Bluesky is probably now my main social media client. However, the official app doesn’t work natively on an iPad, and so I’m also using the Skeets app to take advantage of my iPad’s bigger screen.
Okay, so the provided screenshot is from my iPhone, but I principally use it on my iPad. It seems to work well – it’s fast, even on my now rather elderly sixth generation iPad which can’t be upgraded to iOS 18. Compared with the official client, it also gives you more control over how your feeds are displayed, allowing you to hide quote posts, or only show replies with a certain minimum number of likes.
The app is free, but you can pay a subscription to unlock Skeets Pro, which adds extra features. These include draft posts, bookmarks, being able to mute words, more control over notifications and rich media in notifications. Currently it costs £2 per month or £18 per year, with a two week free trial.
Skeets is also updated regularly; usually whenever a new feature is added to the official app, it appears in Skeets within a week or two. That said, I don’t feel as polished as, for example, Ivory which is my preferred Mastodon client. Its support for threads also isn’t great – you can read them but posts tend to get duplicated.
