I really wish I could easily search through the people I follow and my followers with this app. Weirdly, I can type a user handle into a new post and sometimes find people that way, but that's very cumbersome. There isn't a way to require alt text before posting images, so you'll likely get nagged by other users to add that. Image scaling is very poor in the main timeline, often leaving blobby messes. The app is also very poor about consolidating notifications, cumbersome with popular posts

A couple little bugs need to be worked out. The delayed timer for posting doesn't work. It's a wonderful feature, but I've tried it three times and it has failed to work. Also, in the followers column, it doesn't tell you if you're following them back like how it does on the website. Another thing, when I post a video from YouTube, the app takes you to YouTube instead of playing the video inside the app. I like the website better for this. Otherwise, it seems okay.

Overall Tusky is a pretty good app but there is one thing that bugs the hell out of me: if you are trying to scroll vertically and your finger moves sideways even a single millimeter, it suddenly switches to another screen. This is just an annoyance to me, I can only imagine it makes this app impossible to use for anyone with fine motor control difficulties.

Yes, that was a pain. Turns out that was a bug in Android, which we discovered and worked around. The fix has included in Tusky v21.
There is also a preferences setting to disable swiping between tabs entirely, if you prefer to turn that off.
