With the sole exception of the discovery feature, Tweetbot simply outperforms the official Twitter app in every aspect. While the official Twitter app for iOS is extremely capable, the old adage of You get what you pay for applies perfectly here. Last but not least, two extremely convenient features of Tweetbot are its streaming capabilities (which allows you to get tweets in real time) and the ability to customize the last two segments of the bottom menu, which provides a lot of flexibility for using the app. The app also allows you easy access to all your Twitter accounts in one tap and offers a vastly larger array of options in its settings. Now that we are talking (writing?) about pictures, Tweetbot ads a very nice touch to the way you see them: Instead of having to tap on any tweet’s attached picture, the app shows you a small thumbnail of it beside its main tweet, so you can get a glimpse beforehand and choose if you still want to tap the picture to view it in full. Swiping any given tweet to the right takes you immediately to the related conversation, while at the top of your timeline, you are able to switch between a common timeline display and one that shows only those tweets that have pictures. The Gear icon in particular offers some very interesting options, including the extremely convenient Translate, which, as you might guess, lets you read foreign tweets in your own language. Tapping on tweets displays several options, allowing you to reply to them, retweet them, mark them as favorites, share them and more. While definitely not as clean-looking or simple as the official Twitter app, Tweetbot for iPhone ($2.99) offers a wide array of options, which are relatively easy to manage thanks to an intuitive interface. We already saw how fun this feature can be with Twitter’s own #music app, and it looks just as effective with its main app. Lastly, a very nice, unique feature of the official Twitter app is the ability to discover Twitter accounts that might interest you.

Tapping on tweets gives you their full view and also shows you the number of replies they have, while swiping them from left to right allows you to reply, retweet them, mark them as favorites and more. This simplicity comes at a cost though: The app’s options, while not lacking, are definitely a bit limited, but provide all the basics for any Twitter user. The app offers a very streamlined look at all your Twitter feeds, and videos and images attached to them. If there is one word to describe the official Twitter app, it would be “simple”. This time, we’ll take a look at Tweetbot and at how it compares to the official Twitter app for iOS.
