Not for me it doesn't, I have tried two test mentions since purchasing the app and have yet to have one push via SimplyTweet but both of them have been pushed to me (polls every 5 mins) with my custom Prowl PHP script. I made sure I loaded the mentions in SimplyTweet first in case it needed to initialize but still no dice.

Maybe their server architecture isn't up to scratch for the load they are getting from everyone rushing to get "push" Twitter?

EDIT: The pushes finally came through, must be like a 15-20min interval, can hardly call that push. I can't wait until Twitter's Streaming API gets out of Alpha so apps can support true push not this poll every X mins and push kind of push.
 
SimplyTweet is my best choice.It seem cool to me.Specially the options "Reply to multiple people at once,Proximity Search,Direct messages, including browsing list recipients and autocompletion,Built-in photo viewer" are so much useful.It works smooth.

Here is the devs description from his blog of how simplytweet's push works
How Does it Work
From now on, you will receive push notifications. SimplyTweet currently checks (and push notifications) every 5-10 minutes. This uses up part of your rate limit, so it is intentionally kept slower to not suck up all your quota, and be useful enough, yet not irritating . It also has a bit of smarts to check sooner if you had just received one, since it's likely you'll get one again. If SimplyTweet finds that you have more than 1 mentions or DM, it only pushes 1 notification, for the latest message with a message count. i.e. if you are Obama, you will not get bazillion push notifications. (imagine a push for each and every mention/DM every second!). This is a feature, not a bug.

SimplyTweet also only push notifications for mentions and DMs that are unread. If you have loaded them in SimplyTweet, there will be no push for those mentions and DMs.

Limitation
The application badge count only shows the number of messages in the latest push. It will not show the total unread messages. E.g. if you get a push for 3 messages, don't launch SimplyTweet and then get a push for 2 messages. The badge will read 3 after the first push and 2 after the 2nd push (rather than 5). This is a known limitation.

Push notifications (for all applications) work by the application, in this case SimplyTweet pushing to Apple, who will in turn push to each and individual device. According to Apple's documentation and my own testing, sometimes Apple does not push notifications to your devices right away. There can be a few minutes lag.

I am sure all of them will include push in their next update, then this app will be no different than the other 20.

SimplyTweet has a lot of features that are unique to it, or that aren't common in the other twitter apps on the app store currently. It has photo searching, conversation view (a few other apps have it, but not many), saved searches and views, and more.

Its a bug. From the app store description:
Known BUG: The application crashes if you load a mentions or direct messages timeline when they are empty. The workaround is to send yourself a mention or direct message (i.e. send yourself one and don't empty the timelines after that).

so go online and try sending yourself a dm and a mention. that will fix it. This bug is fixed in 2.1 which is already submitted. And i'm beta testing 2.2, and its great.

That has nothing to do with the theme crashing it. It only crashes when I change the theme.

Then email the dev. hboon at motionobj.com

However, I have helped MANY people who have been experiencing crashes of simplytweet, and the DM and mentions one has been the cause of nearly every one so far--even if all you did was change the theme.

He is correct. That will correct your problem. I had the same issue at one point and it fixed it perfectly.
