Twitterrific: Tweet Your Way Software

I’ve used this app since it first appeared on the App Store many years ago. this app has improved dramatically since then. Among the improvements I appreciate the most are the additions to the cosmetic settings which provide the user with several customizable layouts. I use this app primarily on my iPad Mini in landscape mode (ie - widescreen) rather than portrait mode, and I love that the this app feed conforms itself to widescreen such that it uses all the space from left to right instead of displaying the tweets in phone/tablet mode (ie - a skinny column down the center with large black blank columns on the left and right). I am a reader. I have this app set to display any pics or vids attached to a tweet as a tiny thumbnail off to the right (rather than below the tweet) which I can tap on to instantly expand and contract if I choose to. I find that to be much more pleasing to the eye and a much faster way to scan through my timeline and read quickly. And I really love that Twitterific gives me the ability to change not only the font size but the font type itself. Now, to the folks who developed Twitterific, please, please produce a version for Parler. Bring all the wonderful things you have built into Twitterific and put them all in a Parlerific app. Please do it.

With all the things that Twitter has done to make itself a hostile environment for 3rd-party apps, it is a monumental feat to make something that is *still* worth using — much less giving money to — rather than just giving up and using the official app. Sure, there are some small annoyances (all the fault of Twitter, not this app…) but even still this provides the best experience reading my timeline. First of all, *actual chronological timeline*! Sure twitter added it as a feature lately, but it turns itself off after a while. Ridiculous! Also no “promoted” tweets, no BS random fake friend likes getting stuffed in your timeline, no trending news junk… Timeline sync! I can read on my iPad and my phone and it remembers where I left off. I’m one of those crazy people that reads everything in his timeline, this makes it easy. There are a billion little things that make the interface nice to work with, many of which are “power user” features you have to spend a little time learning, but wow is it worth it. I would kill to have all of iOS have their “swipe to move the cursor” feature. It makes editing tweets much simpler. In all, if you’re trying this because you’re fed up with Twitter messing with their API, give it a chance, give it some time. It absolutely takes a bit to learn all the neat little things this app can do that add up to making it great, but it’s worth it.

I’ve been trying several Twitter apps, and this is the one I’ve chosen. First off it’s ad sponsored free, so you can use all the features and then decide to subscribe. I also like how I can select four different tabs for the content I like to view, such as my favorited tweets, one or more of my Twitter lists, and my replies. These tabs make it much easier to access content I want see. Twitterriffic also allows for quickly editing a posted tweets. It deletes the tweets, but retains the original text so that you can edit. The app also color codes your tweet so you can quickly see your tweets and retweets. The hidden sidebar also allows for quickly accessing saved searches, your Twitter lists, and other parts of your account. Most importantly there are no Twitter ads in this app. The official Twitter app is showing like one ad every 2-5 tweets. It’s very annoying. What want in this app: please show the number replies for a tweet. The video playback is sometimes slow. Create a gesture to quickly favorite a tweet, like double-tap it. It shouldn’t take two taps to favorite a tweet. The developers should predict how-to videos for the app. I only see one. Thanks for this app. I will be subscribing.
