TWEETBOT VS TWITTER FULL

The activity tab is a running list of activity which has been happening on your Twitter account from likes to retweets and mentions. Pressing on one of these tweets takes you to a view where you can see who has liked and retweeted that content. Underneath that again you have a list of tweets people have engaged with and the number of likes and retweets that have been received. Underneath the graph you have today’s activity which lists the amount of favourites, retweets and new followers for that day. The activity tap is divided into two parts, “stats” and “activity.” The stats is a weekly graph of activity as each day passes in the week so you can see at a glance in the app where engagement was high and where engagement was low. However it is a huge step forward and it makes Tweetbot the first third party app to have in built access to a solid set of analytics. The Twitter app can group notifications together as one item whereas Tweetbot displays each notification as its own item in the stream. The solution is genius, Tweetbot 4 does not replicate Twitter’s functionality here. This data has not been available to third party Twitter clients and is part of the set of API’s which are restricted to the developers, however Tapbots has engineered their own Activity solution in which co-founder Paul Haddad told theverge was “tons of work.” You can see all the interactions going on with your account in one place on the Twitter app in one convenient feed. The main reason I have constantly reverted back to the official app is because of the way in which Twitter collates and displays notifications in their app for things like retweets, favourites and follows. This is by far the biggest new feature for me. Users have been crying out for an iPad app for a long time now from Tweetbot, at last it has arrived and it looks wonderful. At last we have uniformity present from iMac to iPad and iPhone. Tweetbot takes advantage of the iOS 9 multitasking features and has an incredibly clean and modern design. Twitter has recently updated their own iPad app (and it sucks) which has made it look more like a blown-up phone app, so Tweetbot for iPad couldn’t come at a better time. This has left the iPad app looking seriously out of date. Tapbots has neglected the iPad app and chosen to work on the iPhone app over the past number of years. It doesn’t look a whole lot different from Tweetbot 3 – there is some tweaks to the profile design, new animations, the new San Francisco font and landscape mode but it is more or less the same design if you have been using Tweetbot 3 on iOS.Ī big change in Tweetbot 4 is that the app is universal. Tweetbot 4 is without a doubt the best third party experience for Twitter that there is. The official app will remain on my iPhone but it has been dumped into a folder and Tweetbot 4 now sits in the dock on my home screen. Well now Tweetbot 4 has been launched and I have already made the switch back. Much more pleasing on the eye than the official app however I have been pretty much using the official Twitter app all the time. I have had Tweetbot 3 knocking around on my iPhone for some time now, it is a stunning design. However as new features arrived on the official Twitter app such as group DM’s, profile notifications, video and photo filters, it was harder for Tweetbot to retain users as developers have been denied access to these new features for their own app. Tweetbot by Tapbots won over a massive number of users in 2011 with a blend of smart design and a strong personality.

Twitter has a shady relationship with developers, it is no secret that Twitter wants their app to be the best and the most full rounded app experience for the social network platform and as a result they have limited developers access to certain API’s over the years which means that third party clients are always those few steps behind no matter how hard they try.
