Although, I suppose the same could be said about Carlson. Damn the English language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing on. I\u2019ve been waiting for a couple months now to be able to try Mona. I skipped on being a beta tester in favor of trying a good first version. And Oh boy I was not disappointed! Love it, and I\u2019ve only been using sparingly for the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far I have been using Ivory from Tapbots and it\u2019s been really good to me. The main sticking point for my use of Ivory over Ice Cube is the way it utilizes my iCloud account to sync my timeline across my iPhone\/Pad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many excellent pro features on Mona. I\u2019ll let you figure them out. I\u2019m going to list what my favorites are \u2013 my selling points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iCloud sync<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MFing Quote Post!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit Post<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Block users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll bar scrolling on iPad (and inverse scrolling, all available via advanced settings)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, so many more one could list but these are my <em>killer features<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I first installed it, all it would do was view and post. Then I figured out that I had to either choose the 14 day FULL functioning trial or purchase. A great relief to see something that is not a subscription based fee. $15 or $16 (I can\u2019t remember now) gives you the full version and ability to use it with all your devices and all your accounts. Plenty of lesser tiers and update pathways to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well done Mona Team! You already got my $16. Go ahead and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/mona-for-mastodon\/id1659154653\" target=\"_blank\">give it a whirl<\/a>. With a 2-week free trial, what have you got to lose, but your previous go-to Mastodon App?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mastodon client I have been waiting for is here!
