Tweetbot app windows#
But today our style preference here at Every Interaction is starting to sway more in the direction of a simplified UI, taking more cues form interfaces such as Windows metro and Flipboard. If you’d asked us a year ago we probably might have preferred this styling to one presented more modestly and flat. The UI design is very much in the style of their other apps a technical and industrial feel with high contrast and tactile, textured interface. It would be nice to have a greater level of customisation on certain features (as they supply with the triple tap), such as setting your desired actions for the swipe left/right gestures. But the sheer number of them makes the app feel too overcrowded at times. Its technical abilities are hard to fault. Clearly they’re trying to allow users to choose which route to the information they want to use, but sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing, and in this instance we feel the number of options is overkill and slows down the user experience. You can also tap the tweet to access the actions bar and select the details (eye) icon, or you can double-tap the tweet to get to the same place (this view doesn’t load in the number of replies or retweets – requiring a further tap to see if anything lies behind these sections, something that the official twitter app does do). Swiping right views a conversation or left views replies (the difference between which is marginal).
The number of ways to gain access to a tweets details seems a little over the top at times. Even better that you can set a time limit on these filters – useful if you want to block a certain person if they’re not using hashtags while tweeting like mad about X-Factor. This mute filter feature enables blocking of a hashtag, a feature many twitter users will be glad to receive, allowing you to hide tweets from people watching #xfactor or tweeting about the #uksnow. For example, holding a hashtag allows you to either filter-out all tweets using that hashtag from your stream, or compose a new tweet using it. The in-timeline preview of images is a particularly nice touch, as is the hold-press on certain elements to reveal a list of available actions. Customisation of navigation, certain actions, retweet styles, display and post settingsĬlearly the team at Tapbots have put a lot of time and effort into understanding where the official twitter app falls short and created a very well produced, fast working, slick application.Wide array of service connections (image/vid uploads, URL shortening, text uploads, read later and sync) that are all very well integrated into the experience.
Easy viewing of individual tweet conversations, replies and retweets.Multiple account handling and switching (with independent settings).Upon installing the app, assuming you already have twitter accounts connected to your device OS, you are presented the option of adding them automatically, saving time on the usual login authentication method.Ĭlearly aimed at the twitter power-user, this app is fully laden with an impressive array of features. Seeing as we recently reviewed the usability and features of the official twitter app we thought is prudent to run over what appears to be at a glance real contender to replace twitters own app as an everyday alternative. The new tweetbot iOS app was released the other day to much fanfare.
