I was able to configure Twitteriffic for Dave, Nick, and Missy accounts and to switch between them.

Tweetbot appears to require a logout and login to switch users.

Twitteriffic easily supports multiple users in a session with view switching and multiple views active in split screen.

Tweetbot has some support for lists (i’ve not figured out lists).

Tweetbot can invoke Twitter’s universal translator.

Twitteriffic’s post ellipsis control lets you see the discussion (thread and reply formats), share the tweet, delete and edit a tweet, or delete a tweet.

Tweetbot’s post gear control lets you view details, view post retweets, and view a post translation.

Twitteriffic appears to support iPadOs split screen.

Twitteriffic App Store page tracks issue fixes and enhancements.

Twitterific’s App Store page is more detailed than Tweetbot’s.

Both present the post-specific controls following a tap on the post body.Īs you can see from the list of differences, it may be appropriate to keep both products about as Tweetbot gives easy access to translation (two Dutch peeps occasionally forget they have international followers), and to tweet correction (delete and edit tweet).

Global controls that select the current view are presented in a controls bar at top or side.

Both are very similar in their tweet layout and presentation of the app controls in the view.

Both apps use the Twitter API to log in giving full support to password recovery and two factor authentication.The selection filter is the only difference. Top-level and mention views work like the timeline view.Retweet tweeting with and without comment is supported.Replies are never threaded onto a tweet inline. An individual tweet’s replies can be shown by user action.Both apps let you initiate view refresh.Each tweet view offers a conversation view and a replies view that let you see the tweet in context and read all of the replies.Retweets and replies appear as discrete events.The iPad version supports light and dark themes following iPadOS preferences.The iPad version supports landscape and portrait views.Common featuresīoth applications have the following features in common. They are not hanging or segfaulting so the problems are in the Twitter app itself and not the network API that the three apps use. The recent troubles prompted me to restore Twitteriffic and Tweetbot to see if they suffered from the UI hangs and segfaults. This happens most commonly in the tweet editor and is most easily invoked by adding a photo or video but can happen on initial open. The app hangs frequently waiting for input with input events blocked.The app segfaults frequently (references a stale pointer to memory not held).Apparently, a bug is triggering the new refresh rather than exposing the refresh button The tweet view is refreshed at random, usually in the middle of reading a thread.

There is no one place to see the thread in its entirety. Depending on the region clicked, you may get the thread or you may get the tweet clicked. Viewing the thread is initiated implicitly by clicking on the item. Replies and threads are integrated into the view in a way that clutters it.Tweets appear multiple times with one or two replies cluttering the tweet stream being viewed.This is forcing the user to visit the profiles of each of low frequency or low engagement poster being followed. Home appears to be latest with low engagement items filtered out. Twitter is offering two selectable views of the tweet stream, Home and Latest which have different unknown selection algorithms.For me, its tweet view has the following shortcomings. Referencesįor many users, the design of the official Twitter app is just wrong. There are two well regarded apps, Twitteriffic and Tweetbot having similar user interfaces and none of the rude behaviors mentioned above. In this article, we’ll look at an alternative Twitter app. In both home and timeline views, the app interrupts what you are doing to refresh the view.Each time the app is updated, view mode switches from the most recent to “Home” view.

As of iPadOS 13.1, multiple users are seeing the following problems. the iPad Twitter app has become unstable. With the advent of iPadOS and development work at Twitter, Inc.
