It shows an interaction summary at the top: Faves received, number of retweets, and a count of new followers. I’ll admit I have a bit of interest in knowing which of my tweets people seem to care about, and the Stats panel feeds my pitiful ego. Tweetbot does not, though it does remove your handle in threading replies to others. Some third-party clients highlight your in such a reply so you can start tapping and erase it as a default choice. If you want to have a sequence of multiple messages that link one to the other, you must reply to the previous one in the chain for Twitter to record the order properly. The one flaw Tweetbot has related to threading occurs when you reply to your own tweet. It makes more logical sense, and I adjusted. This change was introduced during beta testing, and I found it horrible at first-and then gradually got used to it. However, if there are preceding tweets, swiping down reveals those. In this version, the current tweet is shown at the top of the screen, and newer replies below.
Tweetbot 4 for iOS reverses the chronology of its previous threading behavior, however. Swiping left across the top lets you cycle through accounts, and you can also tap the avatar in a new message to choose a different account from which to post. I have one favorite minor feature: When you tap your account’s avatar and it drops down the avis for other accounts, you can tap, hold down, and rearrange the order in which accounts appears in that list. For those who manage multiple accounts for fun, work, or profit, Tweetbot has easy ways to swap among them. You can also add other accounts manually within the program. When launching Tweetbot for the first time, you’ll find that it has already picked up the Twitter accounts you’ve already entered in iOS. At $10-$5 during an introductory period-I have a hard time arguing against its value, especially for those who post from more than one Twitter account. Most critically, it incorporates a sophisticated set of mute options, which can be used effectively to avoid unfollowing or blocking people or groups during periods of time (or even forever) that you don’t want to have their tweets in your timeline. Tweetbot better reflects how I use Twitter, keeping categories and kinds of things separate. Its only advantage currently? It allows multi-person direct messages (DMs), a feature it hasn’t rolled out to third-party apps yet. And it makes bad use of screen territory, with no landscape mode for the iPhone and a poor one for iPad. The organization of messages and tabs is tied to what Twitter finds important as a business-an advertising business-more than what you might want to focus on as a reader or poster. The interface is outdated and, to my eye, aesthetically unpleasing.
