Tweetbot is an excellent client for Twitter with a good-looking layout, gesture-based controls, and almost everything you could possibly need when interacting with Twitter. This is a favorite feature in Hootsuite, another popular Twitter client for iOS, but sadly, Tweetbot doesn't have an option for it. When tweeting for a business where you need to have updates throughout the day, there is no way to schedule tweets in advance. The other issue won't effect everyone, but it does if you're a Twitter power user. After all, if you're on Twitter (or really any social network), you probably want to know when your thoughts have an impact. There is a place to look at your followers, but I think it's important to see when and how many people follow you. Unlike the official Twitter client for iOS, Tweetbot doesn't show you when and how many people have followed you. This is a feature every twitter client should have, and it's great that it has been added in the latest version.įor all the good things about Tweetbot, the issues I experienced are fairly minor, but worthy of note. Instead of unfollowing someone for just such a Twitter outburst, Tweetbot lets you mute them temporarily or as long as you want. It's happened to everyone who uses Twitter: sometimes a specific user will go on and on with several tweets and it can get pretty annoying. Tweetbot also lets you mute other Twitter users without them knowing. The app also syncs your timeline position so that if you switch to another device, you can pick up where you left off. You can save multiple drafts if you're the type that wants to get your message just right. You can switch Twitter accounts with only a couple of taps (once you have them set up). You can quickly switch between your main timeline and lists you've created so you can read just the tweets you want to in the moment. Tweetbot has a number of other features that make using Twitter more efficient. But it also supports sending stories to Instapaper, Pinboard, Readability, and Pocket. The Safari Reading List feature here is my favorite because it lets me save stories from my timeline for later when I'm just in the mood to scan headlines. With the share button, you can send a tweeted story to your Safari Reading List, copy the link from the tweet, copy the whole tweet, or send it to a friend via e-mail. You also have buttons across the bottom for replies, retweets, and favorites, and a share button that has even more options. But when you find a tweet you like and want more info, you can swipe to the left to get more details, such as how many favorites and retweets the post has received. When you touch a tweet in your timeline, you get quick controls for favoriting, retweeting and other common activities. When you're just browsing your timeline, Tweetbot has elegant controls for looking at tweets and performing common actions. It's not a game changer, but it's definitely an elegant and fun way to handle images rather than just directing you to another page. To close the image, you can tap it again and it does a sort of zoom animation to go back to your timeline or - for a little more fun - you can flick it off the screen in any direction.
#Tweetbot 3 full
When you come across an image in your timeline, you can tap it and Tweetbot 3 brings it up full screen, darkening the rest of the interface. I like this feature because it lets people set up whichever they use the most rather than having to dig around through menus.
When you tap and hold the last two buttons, a menu pops up where you can select from favorites, search, profile, lists, blocked users (more on this later) or retweets.
#Tweetbot 3 how to
Buttons across the bottom of the interface include ways to quickly jump to your timeline, mentions, and direct messages, and then lets you choose how to use the last two buttons on the right.
A small tab shows up in the upper right when you have new tweets and shows you how many you have missed. What Tweetbot does well is give you a great way to read through your timeline with a newly flattened look to fit in with the iOS 7 design scheme. But Tweetbot 3, even with the minor issues it has, is a solid standout among the best apps in the category. Like every alternative Twitter client, Tweetbot's challenge is not only to match up with the official Twitter app on iOS, but a strong set of twitter alternatives that continue to fill up the App Store.
