Pretty nice but unfortunately scroll performance is extremely choppy like many other Flutter apps. Also, like many other Flutter apps, it can’t use system font stack. Still, on iOS, this is probably a better option than many other open source clients. On Android, I like Glider[1] and Harmonic[2] a whole lot more.

I like glider too but they did a redesign at some point which I didn't like (too many buttons taking up space on the screen) so I'm still using the ancient version :)

For iOS I really like Octal. This is where I’m replying from!

I am having a pixel 6a and scroll feels normal.

Harmonic is great. Been using it for years ! Has the best UX/function quality ratio imho.

  Harmonic is great, been using it a long time now. Prior to that I used Materialistic... I'll give this other one a try but I've been totally happy with harmonic, so it'll take a lot to move me I think.

    Same for me!

  After looking at the screenshots of this, I came here to say the same. It's gonna take a lot to persuade me to switch from Harmonic.

Scrolling is extremely smooth on my iPhone 14 Pro. The app, though, feels like an Android transplant. No tap to scroll to the top, odd widgets, and no rubberband scrolling. The tip bubbles are also very “Google”. That said, while it’s not for me, it appears to be very solid for Android users (or people who are, to their benefit, less picky than I am).

Harmonic is nice, but it doesn't always submit stories.
