Third party apps tend to have more features than the official ones, and most people I know switch to third party apps after trying them. More info and lots of questions answered in the guide at:

@FediTips I have never even seen the official mastodon app. I found one third party app for my phone, a different one for my Linux laptop, and another one for my kindle readers. For the Android phone and the readers, I used fdroid to find them. On Linux, I found a couple of options in my (Manjaro) repos. It makes sense to use the client that will work that is easiest to find on your particular platform.

@FediTips I have tried a couple of clients but gravitate to native web client. Elk.zone is a close 2nd!

Unfortunately Metatext is no longer maintained
However there is a community fork of it at @Feditext which is maintained and is currently in beta testing. -

There's a third party app called "Impressia" for iOS, and an official app just called "Pixelfed" for iOS and Android.
You may also be able to use Mastodon apps with your Pixelfed account but they will not support Pixelfed-specific features.

It's just called "Mastodon", it's FOSS and some people have forked it to add features missing from the original (Moshidon is probably the most popular fork at the moment).
It's also in F-Droid which is pretty cool.
