Best Twitter app?

[johnnyxhuynh]

Twitteriffic 2.1 is fantastic!

Before the 2.1 update, the only thing I liked better in the competing app Tweetie was a dedicated picture viewer that would pop-up when you selected, say, a TwitPic link. That same feature has now been added in the latest 2.1 update for Twitteriffic, so I now have no need to keep Tweetie on my iPhone. Cheers!

i think tweetie wins many votes only because it was probably the best twitter application at the time. i now find most of the other twitter apps to be better though. i used to be a tweetie fan but am now using twitterfon.

To those who want RT instead of (via @username), go into the Tweetie settings then Advanced, then Experimental. I don't know why it takes so many steps, it seems like it should be set to RT as default.

How do you view conversations in twitter?

In Twitterrific, you double-tap to see the conversation.

does tweetie load more than 200 tweets if you've been a way a couple of days? or is it like all the other ones (except simplytweet) that will only load the last 199?

Not sure, but this is one of the many features I like about SimplyTweet.

You talking about the premium version?

Also how do you view which version number you have currently installed

I use Tweetie and Tweetdeck. Reason being I like the interface that tweetdeck offers to read tweets, and Tweetie because it offers a landscape keyboard

The upcoming TweetPocket looks pretty nice. They are giving "big announcement" today...

There seems to be a glut of Twitter apps now. My favourite is Tweetie but I'm experimenting with Twitterific since the update. I may be persuaded to switch, but I've heard that there's a big Tweetie update coming soon.

Twitteriffic. The 2.1 update really did it for me. Will have to see if Tweeties next update rocks as much as he says though...was my previous fav.

I have to agree i think twitteriffic its about the best you can get. They all kind of so the same.

I still have twitterena+pro and twitbird on my phone. Depends on my mood i guess.

twitbird (was itwitter) has an update coming soon and should be pretty nice, it features its own push.

The twitterific update has put it close to on-par with the others, and it's certainly the most visually appealing.

Twitterific in now the best tweeter client, Tweetie is now second.

 

[knoxtown]

true, but its not like i have money to throw around left and right either to use different apps, plus buying an app with no return policy is not worth it, i just dont want to buy an app and find out that its not what i wanted in an app

You can't afford it, so you steal it? Pathetic.

Do any of these apps (or in conjunction with another app) provide push notifications of new tweets for people you follow? I'm not talking about someone mentioning you or DM either - I just want the ability to receive a push notification every time someone I'm following posts a new tweet. Does that exist? I know a lot of people might not want that because they would receive a ton of notifications but the people I follow don't tweet that often so that's not a concern for me.

I use Tweetie on my MBP and iPhone.

I use Tweet Push to get ALL status updates pushed to me. However, please be aware that the service costs $0.99 per month.
