#Tweetbot 4 review update

It even supports Slide Over and Split View modes on iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 and itвЂ™s a joy to use it like this. The iPad app introduces everything that was shipped with Tweetbot 3 (and 4) for iPhone, along with some stellar new improvements for iOS 9 and the new iPads. Tweetbot 4 on iPad is like going from OS X If youвЂ™ve been a Tweetbot for iPad user, boy are you in for a treat. This version also introduces a Landscape view, a redesigned Profile view, support for San Francisco (the font) as well as some new animations and interface sounds. I really donвЂ™t like the big, bold and colorful icons here though and wish they were more subtle in nature.

This view shows you a timeline of all the activity that has happened so far, including followers, retweets, favorites and even quotes (using TwitterвЂ™s new Quote format). I say mimic because Twitter does not provide an official API for this, so Tapbots have rolled our a custom implementation of their own. The Activity view on the other hand tries to mimic the Activity tab seen in the official Twitter app. The Stats view gives you a quick overview about your account activity for the day with a graph, the number of favorites, retweets and new followers as well as a list of your recent tweets and how theyвЂ™ve faired. The biggest change introduced in Tweetbot 4 is a new Stats and Activity tab.

#Tweetbot 4 review update

The app more or less looks the same, but has plenty of tweaks to the visual design and other improvements that make it an obvious update for you. If youвЂ™ve been using Tweetbot 3 on your iPhone, this isnвЂ™t a drastic update for you. Tweetbot 4 is a Universal app, so it replaces not just Tweetbot 3 on iPhone but also comes in as a huge update for all users of Tweetbot for iPad. Yesterday, Tapbots released Tweetbot 4.0 on the App Store. This meant that although new features were introduced to Tweetbot 3.0 on the iPhone, the iPad version was severely lacking. On the other hand, Tapbots chose not to release a major update to Tweetbot for iPad, and up until 2 days ago, it still sported a pre-iOS 7 design and feel.

However, over a few months, I gradually moved to Twitterrific and the official Twitter app (mostly thanks to the Activity feed). It still offered some impressive features and at just $3, it was a no-brainer. It went completely вЂњflatвЂќ with its looks and I almost hated the Dark theme. And for me, Tweetbot 3.0 for iPhone was quite underwhelming. Everything about iOS 7вЂ™s design philosophy was in stark contrast to the whole look and feel of a typical Tapbots app. When iOS 7 came along, it left me a bit worried. Together, these apps offered pretty much everything users needed to consume their Twitter feeds on their iOS devices and Tweetbot went on to become the favorite Twitter app for a lot of users. YouвЂ™ve got multiple timelines, smart gestures, inline image previews, support for Read Later services, Push Notifications and a bunch of other features. Underneath these delicious pixels is a powerhouse of a twitter client that packs a whole lot of features for all kinds of users. Like its cousin, Tweetbot for iPad also features the neatly crafted animations and sounds that add to the UX of the app.Д«ut the app isnвЂ™t only a UI facepaint on a regular Joe. Supporting both Portrait and Landscape modes, every element in the app has been meticulously designed by Mark, giving every pixel its own character. Tweetbot for iPad featured the same amazing looks and features of the iPhone app, but in a package that was optimized for the larger iPad screen. Then in 2012, the Tapbots released Tweetbot 2.0 for iPhone and an all-new and separate app in the form of Tweetbot for iPad.

Tapbots had managed to craft a stellar app that not only looked absolutely beautiful, it shipped with a plethora of features and offered a lovely UX. It was sad to see Twitter come in and turn Tweetie into what it is today in the form of the official Twitter app, but Tweetbot more than made up for its demise. These are Loren BrichterвЂ™s Tweetie and, of course, Tweetbot. Ever since I joined Twitter in 2008, there have only been two favorite apps of mine, apps that IвЂ™ve sworn by, apps that I have recommended to anyone and everyone and apps that have given me a lot more in return compared to what IвЂ™ve paid for them.
