Image scaling is very poor in the main timeline, often leaving blobby messes. No error messages when my instance is down. I wish it had better search for people I follow and my followers with (weirdly, I can type a user handle into a new post and sometimes find people that way). There isn't a way to require alt text before posting images, so you'll likely get nagged by other users to add that. The app is also very poor about consolidating notifications, cumbersome with popular posts.

A good app, and the devs respond relatively quickly to bugs. Earlier issues I had are all solved, adding a star.

Jumpy/unstable UI and forces you to log in with a fully captured in-app browser instead of just using whatever browser you're already logged in on. Seems fictional but I really have to recommend against anything that trains people to hand out their password like this.
