If you are familiar with the gestures from the iPhone version, then you will more than likely feel right at home with the iPad version, since they are pretty much the same. Tweetbot is a fully interactive app, and there are plenty of gestures (both swipes and taps) to be found. While this is true, I discovered that this space under the conversation or related tweets can be used to navigate back to the timeline view with a two-finger swipe from left-to-right. Now, while both of these gestures have come over to the iPad version, you may think that a short conversation (such as two or three tweets back and forth at each other) would not make the best use of the screen space of the iPad. Replies to a tweet could be seen if you swiped right-to-left on a tweet. The conversation view could be accessed by swiping left-to-right on a tweet, and it would reveal a Twitter conversation between multiple people (if they replied correctly). Two of the most used features for me on Tweetbot for iPhone was the Conversation view and Replies view. If you are using multiple accounts, you can quickly select which account to send the tweet from by tapping once on your avatar. The Compose screen is pretty much the same as in Twitter on iPhone, but with a lot more space. Of course, thanks to this new UI, reading your messages is even better, as it’s much easier to follow along compared to that rather cluttered view (comparatively) that they were previously using.
The Direct Messages section utilizes the new, iChat-like interface that was introduced in Tweetbot 2.0. And just like the iPhone app, you can manage their list membership, view in Favstar, mute, block, report spam, or unfollow. The top half of the profile turns into a separate pane when you scroll down, which will allow you quick access to toggle between the other tabs (mentions, favorites, and lists).
Fast and flawless, it’s the perfect implementation of Twitter lists.Ī single tap on a user’s avatar image will take you to their profile, where you can view their stats, as well as see their tweets, mentions, favorites, and lists. Repeat the process to get back to the normal Timeline. If you want to switch out of the normal Timeline to one of your lists, just tap on that button on the upper left corner, select a list, and it will replace the Timeline. The Auto-Refresh feature works flawlessly (an interval of every five minutes), and you will see a count of how many new tweets have arrived with the thin, translucent gray bar at the top of the Timeline (depending on your setting).
Links and usernames are now tappable with a single tap, and you can view images (from supported services) right from within the timeline.
Tweetbot app from vshare crash update#
The Timeline (and Mentions) view features everything that we know and love from the iPhone version, even the stuff from the huge update earlier. Regardless, both screen orientations will feature a split pane view, though the portrait version is more like a slim sidebar, and doesn’t show text. I actually prefer the landscape mode more, as it just feels more comfortable to use the iPad in this way. The iPad version of Tweetbot can be viewed in both portrait and landscape mode. But enough of that, let’s get on to the real stuff. I actually found this to be a welcome change, because the colors still go very well together.
The iPad version has a slightly different color scheme – it seems to be a tad lighter in the iPad version, and even features a light gray gradient. I nearly squealed from excitement once I saw the first tweets zoom by in my timeline, and I must say, the iPad version does not disappoint. If you have used Tweetbot for iPhone at all, then you know what to expect from the new iPad version. Tweetbot - A Twitter Client with Personality for iPad ($2.99) by Tapbots is the Twitter app that we’ve all been waiting for.
