Twitterrific (Free)

REVIEW- “Twitterrific, The definitive Twitter app for the iPhone”

I have been using Twitterrific since I first got started using Twitter and I have been pleased ever since. I have not seen the need to explore other Twitter apps because this one works the best, in my humble opinion. The way this app looks is definitely what sets it apart from any other Twitter app. The color schemes were I liked the incoming “tweet” sound that this app made when receiving all the initial tweets, and I found that this app loaded tweets fairly quickly.

Users are able to use multiple Twitter accounts and also view what Twitter users are up to in the vicinity. I found it very simple to navigate between multiple Twitter accounts, view the current trends, or search for something because all these features were located on one page. Every feature is extremely user-friendly and straightforward. When clicking on my own Twitter profile, I could view a history of my tweets, as well as those who had tweeted me. Messages were easy to send and view with this app. Posting a new tweet was great with this app because I had many different options to shorten URLS, compress the text into the 140 character limit, as well as add photos, update my twitter location and map links.

It would be great that if you clicked on a tweet, you could be redirected to that user’s profile. I find myself often wanting to read a user’s previous tweets but cannot access their profile. Hopefully they can add this feature in their next update. I do like the fact that tweets are color-coded, for example when I post a tweet it is highlighted in green. This feature just adds to the visual appeal of Twitterific.     

All in all, this is the one Twitter app I find worth downloading. It has all the necessary features you need to keep updated with the Twitter world combined with a great design and great functionality.
