Indeed Ice Cubes has become better I will update that in the TS as well. I still don't like the loading times (caused by SwiftUI?) when starting the app and switching between the tabs. Feature wise it's one of the best though. Also it could better use of the iPad to support a true multi column support (like Woolly and Mammoth have) besides what is currently available.re: Ice Cubes, this is mostly solved by now, even the response time has been decreased a lot.
It looks like new Mastodon clients are still being born, like Stella*. It's actually sad to have missed the point in time where I could have become rich with writing one myself. - I have uninstalled Woolly when the developer announced his prices. Last time I checked, he still considered one-time purchases though.
I also played with Trunks again, and although I don't like its (weird) GUI, it is intriguing because it is one of the few non-SwiftUI clients in the list.
Stella has been around since 2014 but only available in certain countries for some odd reason not in my country at least.
I really like Woolly as far as UI but still had some crashes on the iPad while on the iPhone it's great. I would prefer also pay once like Mona will be doing. Woolly was thinking of both options I think maybe it will have both subscription and pay once option. The developer of Woolly is getting through the same nightmare as the Ice Cubes developer has been in for what I read.
I have been Trunks a lot and I like the UI (opinion: I think it's pretty slick) and quick filters. I do still hope it will be using the standard followed hashtags from Mastodon API instead of manually pin them as is now possible but not using the Mastodon API for that so it seems so I have to add my followed hashtags manually. It will be free I think.
As far as notifications there is still some work to be done since they only arrive in the Notification Center when I open up the app in addition it lacks the user image in the notification center. I also hope an option to add a GIF in a post (via Giphy) will become possible still. Also I asked the developer to fix that you can't move the cursor in a post. I also would love to see a true multi column option on the iPad it is already using the full size of the iPad to show multiple posts side by side which is nice. Overall it's pretty feature rich in the short time it has been around and created by one developer. The landscape mode on iPhone is also pretty cool and much nicer then the Ice Cubes one.
