I found Skype is allowed to be called "Skype for iPhone" so maybe "Mastodon for iPhone" will work and save me this headache. Still thinking about a subtitle though.

Eugen, but if you decide to support iPad in the future, you'd have to rename it to "Mastodon for iP(hone|ad)"

@Gargron Ah there won't be an iPad version then? Seems too exclusive to call it "for iPhone".

@Gargron "federated microblogging" ? Its slightly better than decentralised IMO.

@Gargron "Skype for iPhone" and "Skype for iPad" are two different names for two different apps. Did you just forget iPad?

@dmonad I'm not allowed "Mastodon for iOS" and I'm not allowed "Mastodon"

@Gargron Yes I've read your thread, but "Mastodon for iPhone" will make users think there is another app called "Mastodon for iPad". Did you make an iPad version for your app?

@Gargron
What about a simple "Mastodon Mobile" ?
Too old fashion ?
