  Clean, but buggy

  Picked this over tweetbot because it was a flat price instead of a subscription. Feels like my timeline went on a juice cleanse, and I like that a lot. Took a bit to get used to the UI, but now I like it. HOWEVER - This app is pretty buggy, to the point that it's starting to drive me back to the official client. It crashes often, roughly once or twice a day (with a couple hours of use in between crashes - this is my time sink while waiting for builds at work, etc). Messages column has a bug where it shows a blank square over each message preview. It also has issues loading content, particularly videos. They only load about half the time. Sometimes closing and reopening the tweet fixes it, but sometimes it never loads, so you have to open the tweet in the browser to see the video. Tweet replies also have trouble loading occasionally. It also basically never loads the current like count of a tweet. Loading shouldn't be a problem because you can just pull down to refresh, right? Not implemented anywhere other than the root of most of the columns (it's also missing on the Profile column). That feature would at least provide a workaround to some of the bugs. (It also seems to cache stuff or something, so tapping back and then into whatever you were looking at again results in the same unloaded content.) I like this alternative to the official client, so it deserves more than 1 star, just wow the bugs...

  Great, but can be improved

  This is an incredible app, I love the layout and overall feel of it. With that being said, there are a few features that could be added. A clear cache would be great, and hopefully easy to add. It would be nice to be able to sort replies by likes rather than defaulting to recent (if Twitter API allows this). It would also be nice to be able to customize swipe gestures (positioning of like/retweet/reply). These last features are likely hard or impossible to implement, but would be nice to have: an in-app translate feature (doesn't just open google translate), and Twitter polls (depends on API). Still a great app, worth the purchase!

  Why is the is the bottom dock margin spaced so close to the icons?

  This app is THE BEST TWITTER CLIENT. But this Is driving me crazy. It’s close to the icons and nearly touching the post plus circle. Then there is so much space at the bottom due to the iPhone 11 screen-chin. Again, love the app but please fix this - I bought the app because of how the UI looked in the App Store images so it was disappointing. Everything feels so premium besides that. The header is spaced really close to the avatar icon at the top as well. If you are detail oriented like me with attention to design - this could bother you!

  Easily the best Twitter client I’ve used since 2006

  As a Twitter power user since 2006, I have bought and tested pretty much every Twitter client in the last 14 years. And I am here to tell you this is absolutely my favorite. I am a heavy user of Lists as it helps me focus on specific topics or groups while also reading chronologically. So I don’t have to see the algorithmic feed full of things I’m not wanting to read. Lots of little touches that are really helpful. Keep up the great work!!

  Is This A Joke?

  There's no reason for an app as simple as this to not be compatible with recent previous PC versions. Please do better and allow the app to run on older PC versions, just leave a disclaimer that bugs are to be expected and all will be fine. It runs just fine on iOS and iPad, I can't imagine what could possible stop it from working on PC. Make the app a seperate purchase if you'd like just please consider making it compatible with older versions of PC, not everyone is dying to go out and spend $2,000 on a new Windows just to have simple apps become compatible again.
