Skeets Reviews

Either use SF Symbols or go back to the old icons but these new ones ain’t it.

I have tried repeatedly, using both my account password and the suggested app password, to log in to Skeets, and I simply can’t. Every time, it says “Invalid identifier or password.”

not with app pw or regular password. couldn’t even start over, app froze and i had to close it out. oh well.

So far so good. The only feature missing that Graysky had is the option to share a post as an image. I’d like that but with options to hide the handle.

One problem I had is figuring out how to reply. I’m used to a text box as the bottom so having to click the conversation icon wasn’t intuitive. The first thing I tried when no text box was there was to click the … on the post expecting a reply button.

With the X banning in Brazil Skeets using the built in iOS translation feature is a huge plus.

Overall, this is a really good app for browsing Bluesky, especially because it actually takes advantage of the iPad’s screen. However, I have noticed that when using this app on iPad, the dialogue for composing a new post doesn’t have word wrap, which makes writing new posts kind of a pain, if not impossible because I can’t see the words I’m typing on longer posts.

I’ll update this review when this is fixed! I also run into some “token expired” dialogues; not sure if those are bugs or not.

I’ve been using this app for a few days and I really like the clean, readable design, and intuitive UI. I’ll definitely try the paid tier if/when support for multiple accounts rolls out!

This feature makes using bluesky actually possible without constantly scrolling back to 8 hours ago. Thank you so much!
