iPhone Twitter Client

I have tested many Twitter apps for the iPhone recently, including TweetDeck, Echofon, HootSuite and the official Twitter iPhone app. But none of them even came close to meeting my expectations!


Until I came across TweetBot by TapBots! When you first open the app it is easy to connect to your Twitter account/s straight away, it then takes you through a tutorial of how to use the app and how to use all of the built-in shortcuts. If you swipe from left to right on a tweet you can see the conversation, if you swipe from right to left, you can see the tweets details. It is full of nice, user intuitive features like this.

One of the most important features for me is the ability to change the default timeline. As I follow quite a lot of people, it is easier to use lists to control who's tweets I read, so for example if I want to read 'News' I set my timeline to show me my news list, like this:


You can also change the last 2 buttons on the bottom menu, if you would prefer to have something else there, all you have to do is hold your finger on the icon and a list pops up allowing you to change it!


There are so many other settings like this that let you customise the app to make it work for you! If you don't like something it does by default, there's a good chance that it will let you change that to something else!


You might not buy apps very often, or think that there are equivalent free apps, but in this case - trust me, nothing comes close to TweetBot! If you are an active Twitter user this app is a must! 

The app only costs £1.99, just miss a coffee one day if you can't afford it, because it's worth it!
There's an iPhone app: TweetBot for iPhone
