Tweetbot for Twitter

Simple, intuitive and well considered.

This app is incredible and changed the way I used twitter. It’s been great for managing multiple accounts and using it is smoother and more efficient than any other app I have tried. The UI was gorgeous when I first started using it last year, and still looks very good, though after updating to Yosemite it seems visually out of place. Complaints about how dated it looks are, in my opinion, not entirely founded. It looked great on Mavericks. It’s just Yosemite that it doesn’t blend in with as well. Needs an iOS7-esque visual revamp. Also, I know that many of the faults lie with twitter for their ever shrinking API, so I don’t blame tapbots for that. Things I like about the software: - Switching between accounts is a breeze. - Total customization over what I use to upload media. - A fluid and attractive timeline to read through. - It syncs beautifully between devices. - It utilizes gestures very efficiently. Using the various swipes has made reading tweet threads, responding to things, finding the original tweet for things, and much more a total breeze. - Being able to set things to multiple columns has been incredibly useful. Can set searching for a hashtag on a column and watch it while you watch your timeline and much more. - When it’s stable (which is most of the time) it works so flawlessly I can’t help but admire it. - Being able to save images through this is much easier than through the web format. - Copy tweet, copy link to tweet, and other ways to interact with tweets are all really nice features. Sharing tweets off of twitter is a breeze. - Being able to copy an image into a tweet directly rather than having to manually download it and select it through a prompt is A+. Things I don’t like: - No GIF support. If I want to load a gif, it will open in a webpage instead. I won’t even get a thumbnail for it. They should have updated to factor GIFs in by now. - Over time, the program has had more stability issues and weird crashes. They are not enough to be problematic yet, but anyone would notice that the stability is sliding. - If I am having a problem, the only way to report the issue is through manually sending an email or tweeting at them. There should be a built-in form to submit bugs and feature requests. - no way to disable favstar integration, which likes to open on its own if I double click my profile tab (I click once to open, then again to refresh, but if I do these too fast it opens a browser window with favstar). - Wish there was a dedicated notifications tab. - UI is out of place in Yosemite.

Have tried a number of mac and iOS apps for twitter, and I have to say this is the one that has stayed. Yes it is expensive, but I like its functionality in allowing me to separate social and business tweets etc, so I can change my twitter experience as I need. With so many streams it would otherwise be too easy to miss important tweets. Add in instapaper and you are good to go.

I do love this app, however there is a worrying lack of attention that has been given to it seeing as it costs £14. I can appreciate the reasoning for why this app is priced so high in regards to twitter tokens, however the fact that we have paid that money I feel a little short chaged that very little in the app has changed in the 2 years I’ve owned it. It looks very dated now in Yosemite.
