![]() The app runs on the iPhone and iPod touch, and it requires iOS 7. Tweetbot 3.0 for iPhone is a new application on the App Store and it costs $2.99. Also new to Tweetbot 3: text size is controlled by iOS 7’s Dynamic Type. iOS 7’s Background Fetch functionality is also present, and this iOS 7 feature truly shines in a Twitter app. The app has also reduced how many taps are necessary to move around the different features. This feature is now present in the iOS version thanks to its API in iOS 7. One feature that I often use in Tweetbot for Mac is saving links to my Safari Reading List. ![]() Lists used to be accessible by tapping the top of your Timeline, but the feature has been moved to be solely activated via a tab at the bottom of the app.Īside from the dramatically new redesign, Tweetbot 3.0 is light on new features and functionality. Lists are custom Timelines of people that you do not necessarily need to be following. Tweetbot has always provided an easy way for users to jump between their Twitter Lists. The Favorites, Retweets, and Mute settings tabs work just like the tabs in earlier versions of Tweetbot, but, of course, just look cleaner. Nothing new here other than the interface, but it works just as well and looks cleaner than previous Tweetbot releases. You can also browse Trends, People lists, and Saved Searches. Search works just like previous versions of Tweetbot, allowing you to pull up Tweets, Users, and Nearby Tweets. Personally, I have the last two tabs as my Twitter profile and search. The tabs can become a list of retweets, your profile, mute settings, or lists. To change the fourth and fifth tab, just tap and hold down. The first three tabs are static, but the second two are dynamic and can be changed. The app includes five tabs across the bottom: Timeline, Mentions, Messages, Favorites, and Search. Every icon, shape, glyph, and user-interface elements appears to be custom designed, and I find the the app’s design gorgeous.įor those unfamiliar with how Tweetbot functions, it is simple, yet efficient and powerful. However, the app is not without graphical touches from Tapbots. Like many of Apple’s core iOS 7 apps, the interface is very content-focused, includes some transparency, and has lots of white space. Tweetbot 3.0 works virtually the same way and has mostly the same feature-set as its predecessor, but an entirely new design. If you use the current version of Tweetbot and understand the transition from iOS 6 to iOS 7, you will feel right at home. For several months, the Tapbots crew has been hard at work on a complete, end-to-end redesign of their flagship app, and it is available now via the App Store. However, the design began to look dated with the launch of iOS 7, Apple’s revamped iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch operating system, last month. ![]() The application includes several powerful features wrapped up in a quick, smooth interface. For many years, Tweetbot from Tapbots has been my favorite Twitter app and definitely my most used app on iOS. ![]()
