The application Tweetbot 5 for Twitter was published in the category Social Networking on and was developed by Tapbots.We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us.

We have released Tweetbot 5 as a free update for users of version 4. ![]() A lot of hard work goes into developing and maintaining each version, so we must charge for each to be sustainable as a small company. Either way, you'll need to pay at least $4.99.Tweetbot for Mac and iOS are completely separate apps. After the sale is over, Tweetbot 3 owners will still be able to pick up 4 at a discount Tapbots will sell 3 and 4 in a $9.99 bundle, meaning the price you paid for 3 will be taken off the cost of 4. Tweetbot 4 is available now for a limited launch price of $4.99, down from $9.99. It’s a slick, no-nonsense app with a ton of thought put into it, and by making it universal and adding the Activity feed, Twitter’s going to have to do a lot to bring me back to its own apps. And if you want to see who favorited a certain tweet, Tweetbot still boots you to favstar.fm, which is not a great experience.īut especially on the iPad, Tweetbot has pulled back in front for my personal needs. Tweetbot doesn’t support Twitter Cards, for example, meaning you often won’t see rich media or web previews embedded in tweets. There are still some areas where Twitter’s official clients work better. The Mac app isn’t a deprecated piece of junk. Instagram photos display inline without issue. There are no ads, because Twitter doesn’t allow them in third-party clients. The timeline is perfectly chronological, with no confusing "While you were away" tweets or blue lines between conversation partners. Tweetbot just works the way I feel like Twitter should work. Multitasking support is a particular highlight - Tweetbot is going to spend a lot of time pinned to the edge of my iPad Air 2’s screen. Returning to Tweetbot full-time, now that I can use modern versions of the app across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, is like revisiting an old friend. The app has an incredibly clean, minimalist design, with all the sensible tweaks and touches to the Twitter interface that Tweetbot users have come to know. The iPad app has two columns in landscape mode, the smaller of which can show your Stats or Activity feeds. I don’t know if I’d say Tweetbot 4 has been worth the wait, exactly, but it’s at least come at a good time - Twitter’s official new iPad effort is a disastrous blown-up phone app, and iOS 9’s iPad multitasking is perfectly suited to Twitter clients. Tapbots has neglected the iPad ever since Apple went in a new design direction with iOS 7, leaving the gradient-heavy Tweetbot 2 app looking severely out of date. The biggest change in Tweetbot 4, though, is the completely revamped iPad app. ![]() Another feed called Stats helps in the same regard, providing you with charts and figures about how people are interacting with your account. But it’s still a big step forward that makes it easy to check up on your activity. Tweetbot 4 doesn’t totally replicate Twitter’s functionality here - each notification is its own item in the stream, whereas Twitter groups together things like favorites and follows. That data hasn’t been available to third-party Twitter clients ever since the company moved away from a basic mentions stream, but Tapbots has engineered its own Activity solution in what co-founder Paul Haddad tells me was "tons of work." A major reason I find myself falling back to official Twitter clients is the way they collate notifications in a single stream you can see who’s followed you, mentioned you, retweeted you, or favorited one of your tweets in one convenient feed. ![]() One big new feature, though, is the Activity tab. The iPhone version isn’t wildly different to 2013’s Tweetbot 3 - there are some swish new animations, a redesigned profile page, and a landscape mode, but it’s more or less the same experience. Tweetbot 4 is a new, universal app for iPhone and iPad. And after having used it for a couple of days, I’m going to switch back. I keep both around, but use Twitter’s own app more often than not. Tapbots’ quirky iOS Twitter client won a ton of people over way back in 2011 with its blend of smart design and strong personality - for a time, I’d have called it the best way to use Twitter.īut as Twitter tightened the noose around third-party developers' necks and denied them access to new features, it’s been harder and harder to use anything but the official client. There was a time when I’d swear by Tweetbot.
