I want to thank everyone for sharing their experience of using Nostur, both here on nostr and in the app store reviews, here's a few of what people have been saying about Nostur this year:
Liquid glass update was received well
I’m not a huge fan of the new iOS Liquid Glass theme, but I have to say that Nostur’s implementation of it is one of the best I’ve seen.
Fabian (npub1n0s…lahe) The iOS26 Nostur design is slick as fuck! Thank you sir
Nostur and Blossom
Kinda magic when your social client is powered by your own website.

Follow Packs
Fabian (nprofile…j3zc) added follow pack support to Nostur in a really cool way 🔥 They show up under the “Discover” tab where you can preview them and then add them as a custom feed instead of just following the entire list. Love it 🚀

It’s way faster than before fetching data, just noticed.
Basic web of trust filter still undefeated
nostur has a web of trust spam filter built in to the app
works incredibly well
there is no spam

node (npub1rzg…kxve) shares his favorite features of nostur
My favourite features of Nostur client:
(no particular order)
It’s fast
Private mute list
Private block list
When you block npub 1 and npub 2 reposts a note of npub 1, it doesn’t show up in the feed
Gossip model if you want to turn it on (I didnt)
Multi account support
Gif tenor keyboard (which is way better than giphy)
Live streams in the feed (can be turned off)
Support for the olas format of pics too
When you menu dive, there’s an x that appears next to the top left corner. Let’s you exit instantly instead of having to go back through all the menu
You can choose relays per npub
You can choose to which relay you repost
You have a nice stat that shows you to how many relays you broadcasted a note
You can see the balance of your NWC wallet in the left tab menu
You can post from any of your npubs, while being in any npub. Super easy and fast

Nostur best Tim Apple client.
Whats next in 2026 and on?
As we will see more AI garbage everywhere, the internet will become fake and generated, on nostr too, but here we will also have the ability to ignore it and build real relations. Our algorithms don't prioritize views for advertisers so we can focus on what is authentic.
Nostur will be here to help achieve that, using individual webs of trust, reputations, private nostr, and more. Authenticity will become a focus.
Have a great new year and see you in 2026!
