Twitterrific app vs twitter app2/25/2023 ![]() In all, if you’re trying this because you’re fed up with Twitter messing with their API, give it a chance, give it some time. I would kill to have all of iOS have their “swipe to move the cursor” feature. ![]() There are a billion little things that make the interface nice to work with, many of which are “power user” features you have to spend a little time learning, but wow is it worth it. I’m one of those crazy people that reads everything in his timeline, this makes it easy. Timeline sync! I can read on my iPad and my phone and it remembers where I left off. Ridiculous!Īlso no “promoted” tweets, no BS random fake friend likes getting stuffed in your timeline, no trending news junk… Sure, there are some small annoyances (all the fault of Twitter, not this app…) but even still this provides the best experience reading my timeline.įirst of all, *actual chronological timeline*! Sure twitter added it as a feature lately, but it turns itself off after a while. With all the things that Twitter has done to make itself a hostile environment for 3rd-party apps, it is a monumental feat to make something that is *still* worth using - much less giving money to - rather than just giving up and using the official app. Those constant pop ups are just no way to treat customers. I probably would have considered keeping Twitterrific and eventually subscribing were it not for those pop ups! Frankly, I'll avoid anything published by Icon Factory because of it. Still, the recurring pop ups are a shady move. Now, for all I know this was a special case- I'd managed to restore purchases so I wasn't seeing any ads, so the pop ups may have been something not many people get. But customers are also not endless wells of money that need harassed until they fork it over either. I get that software development isn't cheap. Yes, it's annoying and gets your attention and provokes a response- mine was to delete Twitterrific and use a different one. If I recall right they're timed- you have to wait a few seconds before you're allowed to say no. "You've helped out before, now help us again!" I decline, and before long (a day or two?) the pop up is back. However, when Twitterrific switched to the subscription model, it started serving me pop ups demanding I subscribe. I even purchased removal of ads back when that was ~$5. I had used this app for a few years and found it good enough. I'm still seeing tweets from two days ago.when it should be from a few seconds ago. Also one thing I immediately noticed is the timeline feed is slow to refresh. Is there not a "refresh purchases" button? Sounds like this developer is just plain greedy. I also read a couple of reviews and people mentioned how they try to get you to pay to access certain features or abilities. I'm guessing you'd have to pay to remove the ad bar and I don't mind donating to small-time app developers but I don't know about Twitterrific. I'm so mind boggled, I can't remember if the OG Twitter app has an ad bar. I have several apps with ad promo bars but guess what? They're tiny and all at the BOTTOM. I can't even appreciate looking at the layout or design, colors or anything else because the ad bar is so distracting. So big, it completely covers half if not all of a tweet, depending on length. I open Twitterrific, login & BOOM! There's a huge ad bar at the top of the screen. It looked to have nice features, separate from the actual Twitter app, like the ability to edit your tweets, so I said heck why not. So I literally just downloaded Twitterrific minutes ago. ![]() Bring all the wonderful things you have built into Twitterific and put them all in a Parlerific app. Now, to the folks who developed Twitterific, please, please produce a version for Parler. ![]() And I really love that Twitterific gives me the ability to change not only the font size but the font type itself. I find that to be much more pleasing to the eye and a much faster way to scan through my timeline and read quickly. I have this app set to display any pics or vids attached to a tweet as a tiny thumbnail off to the right (rather than below the tweet) which I can tap on to instantly expand and contract if I choose to. I use this app primarily on my iPad Mini in landscape mode (ie - widescreen) rather than portrait mode, and I love that the this app feed conforms itself to widescreen such that it uses all the space from left to right instead of displaying the tweets in phone/tablet mode (ie - a skinny column down the center with large black blank columns on the left and right). Among the improvements I appreciate the most are the additions to the cosmetic settings which provide the user with several customizable layouts. this app has improved dramatically since then. I’ve used this app since it first appeared on Twitterrific Store many years ago. ![]()
