To everyone's surprise, Toot! v17.0 is out!

toot.to/

This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:

* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.

I know there is a lot more people want, like editing, but those are bigger features and I thought it better to push something out the door, so I will keep releasing 17.x versions for a while to push out more new features.

They will mainly focus on adding Mastodon v3.5 and v4.0 features that Toot! is missing, plus any little bits of polish that would make me happy.

(I know a lot of people want adjustable font sizes, but that is unfortunately a scarily complicated feature, just because it tends to break all the existing designs, so I am not planning on getting around to that just yet.)

And I generally have my hands more than full already, so I'll apologise ahead of time for not being very receptive to any feature requests for now.

@tootapp take your time! I just bought the app the other day. Love that you’re active again.

Bam

@tootapp love this! Any idea when it will show in the App Store?

George Ho

@tootapp This is already such a milestone - thank you for the work and don't forget to take breaks from time to time! :)

Saket

@tootapp We appreciate the time & trouble you’re taking! I love Toot!

Stan

@tootapp it’s awesome that you’re working on any updates!

@tootapp thanks for all your hard work, I appreciate it. 🙂 👏 🙇‍♂️

@tootapp I kicked in a tenner via the “toot is too cheap” in-app purchase this morning before I read about this new version. I am pleased with the karmic benefit paying off so fast!

@tootapp please don’t apologize. Your work is a gift! Thank you!

@tootapp I‘m happy to see that my favorite iOS client is being enhanced - thanks for taking up development again and take your time!

David Young :funkypenguin:

@tootapp is there a preferred way to make said feature requests?

pmorinerie

@tootapp I love it – thanks for the update!

Small incremental releases seem like a good idea for shipping something and keep things exciting :)

Oh, also, this release is set on a phased rollout so I can catch any serious issues before it rolls out to everyone, so it will become available gradually over the coming week.

There might be a way to force an update in the App Store if you don't want to wait but I'm not 100% sure?

Jon Simantov

@tootapp Any chance of support for fork-specific features? Like local-only posts on Hometown? :)

Toot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎

@JonSimantov Just supporting the main version is plenty of work at the moment.

@tootapp I don’t think that’s possible on our end, unless they changed something. But don’t worry, thanks for the update ;)

@tootapp The toot detail page on the App Store has an "Update" button that will get you the new version without the wait

Teddy :mastodon:

@tootapp just downloaded it … so excited, thanks 😊

Doug Lawlor

@tootapp I just updated here. I went into the app store, tapped on my account, and selected "update" next to your app.

@tootapp update came through on iOS here ok… didn’t notify but I went to app page and update button was there. No issues (yet) 😁

Jeffrey Waggoner

@tootapp

Update downloaded and running in the US Midwest

And it’s sweet!

@tootapp

2 nuisances I’ve seen so far:

1. If there’s a way to tap at the top to return all the way to the top of a timeline, I haven’t found it.

2. The bookmark feature is now much too difficult to get to. It should be right next to Favourite, right under a post, instead of buried under the “…”

Trigold

@tootapp It's a shame we don't have such an app on Android. :jeb:

@tootapp the app with the white background is iOS toot app correct? Sorry screen readers, I am attempting to describe the picture but IDK how to describe screenshots off the squares of apps. Just a lowly 27 year old who finds technology confusing, overwhelming, and just craves simplicity.

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp No, tooot with three Os is a different app. The one we’re talking about here is Toot! with two Os and an exclamation mark, whose icon is this:

Theresa Fox

@badibulgator @tootapp I see that now. I first downloaded the purple mastodon app. I’m not used to having a decentralized social media platform where there is third party apps for a platform.

Theresa Fox

@odin @tootapp thank you… this whole process is overwhelming.

Odin

@swiftiebuckycas No problem! Nothing wrong with having questions

Theresa Fox

@thatKomputerKat @tootapp I see… that app will cost $3.99 to download.

ThatKomputerKat :neocat_cool:

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp Yeah. I got it and pretty much every other iOS app available and I really like it far more than the other options.

ThatKomputerKat :neocat_cool:

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp that is true. I’ve tried both of them. I really much prefer Toot! Though. In the end it’s up to you.

Johannes Brakensiek

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp Nope. „Toot!“ is written like this and shows a mastodon as its icon. That‘s a different app.

Odin

@tootapp You can force app updates on iOS! There are a couple ways:

1) Go to the app's store page and press "update"

2) Long press on the App store icon, tap Updates, pull down to refresh, and update the app

Both are pretty quick, the first option is just a lot easier to explain.

Nick Parfene

@tootapp checking for app updates via the App Store app will bypass the staggered / phased rollout. Also, searching for the app will return the latest version, too.

DELETED

@tootapp if you refresh the app store you can get the update. it's the auto updates that get trickled.
