The really cool part is that you can actually interact with them directly from the Notification Center. The widget shows either the last five tweets from your timeline, or the last five mentions you received. Since it's a widget that sits on your 'Today' screen, you're able to view tweets no matter which app you are in simply by swiping down on the screen to reveal Notification Center. Apple introduced widgets in Notification Center with iOS 8, and NC is simply the best widget for Twitter.

Widgets used to be one of the best reasons to choose Android over iPhone, that was until last year. It's like the 'Interactions' column of Twitter - something which only the official Twitter app has and no third-party app is allowed access to. The 'Today' view shows activity on your timeline today, such as retweets and favorites of your tweets, new followers, and so on. Twitterrific also has a 'Today' mode for users who choose to upgrade, which I love and personally think makes it better than Tweetbot. In case you want to see that tweet this one time, tap it to view it. It's the same thing as muting, but it basically appears as a small line in your timeline saying a tweet with a keyword you noted has been muted. Twitterrific looks perfectly at home on an iPad running iOS 7 or above, whether it's the smaller Mini or the larger Air. Much like Tweetbot, Twitterrific looks good, works without a fuss, and offers features simply not found in the official app.įor example, instead of silencing and filtering annoying tweets by making them disappear, Twitterrific uses 'muffles'. And it's free, if you don't mind a few adverts (though you can pay $2.99 to remove these). Thankfully, Twitterrific reduces your wait for a great tablet Twitter app. While the developers promise that Tweetbot 4 will come with iPad support, you probably don't want to wait that long. But you can never really be sure about the future, because Twitter still isn’t the happiest in playing well with developers.Unfortunately, Tweetbot 3 never got an iPad version.

However, it is still far from perfect, and makes more sense for those who use the iPad as a primary device. Make no mistake, Tweetbot 4 is definitely an improvement over the previous version, which had not become quite long in the tooth itself. And only really active Twitter users will be able to come close to justifying using a paid Twitter client.

Also, Tweetbot 4 still relies on a platform known as favstar.fm to view detailed user profiles.īut does this paid Twitter client really offer that much of an improvement over the official Twitter app that justifies the one-time ₹ 300 price tag? For an app, that is a lot of money. Tweetbot doesn’t support the relatively recent Twitter Cards, for example, which means you will not see web or rich media attachment previews in your tweets.

There are still some areas where Twitter’s official apps work better. Plus, with all the multi-tasking improvements in iOS 9, Twitter clients really needed to up their game. The double whammy was the fact that Twitter’s own iPad app is essentially just a blow-up of the iPhone version, and just doesn’t work well in the portrait or landscape mode. Tapbots hadn’t made an app for the iPad ever since Apple released a completely redesigned iOS 7 operating system. Tweetbot 4 is a truly universal app, because there is a version made specifically for the bigger screen of the Apple iPad.

Those who are using Twitter for professional tasks, this will be a rather valuable analytics feature.

However, they try to make up for that with something known as Stats, which provides a weekly overview of the level of interaction you have generated on the platform-retweets, favorites and new followers. However, Twitter doesn’t allow third-party apps to access that data, which is where Tweetbot 4 still struggles. And that makes it tremendously easy to keep tabs on the interaction with your tweets and also the new followers. The official Twitter app combines the retweets, replies, favorites and follows in one tab known as ‘Notifications’.
