![]() ![]() I would have liked the possibility to collapse every tab in the sidebar but by now you can only expand and collapse the Trends tab. From the sidebar, you can also search and access saved searches, your lists and trends. You can change from the all tweets view (the timeline) to mentions, messages and favorites tweets in the top section of the sidebar. The actual tweets aren’t located in “bubbles” (like in many iPhone apps), but it’s a simple list made of these “cells”, pretty large cells actually, that include the tweet, the user picture and some buttons. You can’t hide the split view’s sidebar, instead. Of course, with the portrait mode you’ll have more space for tweets, as the popover can be hidden. ![]() But anyway, the interface principles don’t change: there’s a left sidebar that contains all the navigation options to let you use Twitter, and whether you’re using it inside a popover (portrait) or split view (landscape) it’s just the same sidebar. Personally, I’m finding myself using the landscape mode more than the vertical orientation, so it’s split view for me. Once you’ve entered your account credentials, you have to decide if you want to use the application in landscape or portrait mode. The free version of Twitterrific allows you to enter only one Twitter account and it’s ad supported, while the Pro one enables multiple accounts and removes advertisement from the timeline. Let’s take a look at the app anyway, and see how it ultimately works and whether it might work for you just as good as it works for me. More importantly, Twitterrific feels good - and that’s the great achievement in my opinion. The Iconfactory designers really made a great job, considering that they didn’t even have an iPad to test the app on. It’s dark, in the timeline, clear in the sidebar, dark again in the popovers. Twitterrific for the iPad looks good, and I think the UI design is the first thing you’ll notice. It definitely provides more and new interactions we should consider, thus forgetting about the old methods we’ve gotten used to for iPhone software. The “ bigger screen” is indeed what makes iPad apps really stand out from their counterparts (when available) and serves as a way to really provide more options and functions. As I started looking for decent Twitter apps to install and review, the most obvious choice was to give a try to Twitterrific from the Iconfactory already out in the App Store in its free version with the possibility to upgrade in-app to the premium version.Īfter 24 hours of intensive usage of the app, here are my thoughts about it.įirst of all, I have to admit that reviewing an iPad app is much more difficult than talk about an app for the iPhone. Of course I searched for RSS apps, word processors, PDF readers but most of all, Twitter clients. Paul Haddad, the co-creator of Tweetbot, took to Mastodon to say that “I guess I didn’t realize long standing actually means a couple hours ago,” referring to the new clause that was just added to the company’s developer agreement despite that company claiming that the rules had existed beforehand in a tweet back on Tuesday.When I was waiting for my iPad to arrive in Italy, I spent a good amount of time browsing the iPad App Store looking for some great apps to install and try. We are sorry to say that the app’s sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter – a Twitter that we no longer recognize as trustworthy nor want to work with any longer. In response to the news, Twitterrific, one of the most popular Twitter clients, has announced that it is discontinuing the app immediately, saying that it was already been pulled from the iOS and macOS App Stores. The “restrictions” section of Twitter’s developer agreement was updated Thursday with a clause banning “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.” The addition is the only substantive change to the 5,000-word agreement. ![]()
