![]() The garishly bright colors make dark mode pointless. Even when twitter broke many of the features for third party apps I still was sold because of the unified, chronological timeline with no promoted tweets and an awesome dark mode.After a week of hyping their new release and showing off screenshots on twitter, the update to 6.0 came out today and I quickly installed it to be greeted with a banner ad inconveniently placed right below the compose a tweet button. I’ve been using and telling everyone I know to use Twitterrific since April 2014. The ONLY reason you’d "require" these things is to force people to pay a premium to have Twitterrific on their watches. Also you don’t need to run your own database, since you’re just piggybacking off the Twitter database. If you can display content on the iPhone app without you "push" then you can do the same on the Apple Watch app. You’re lying to people in order to charge them for something they don’t need. They don’t have to require their own “push” service, but they do so they can control every aspect of the app.EDIT: In response to what the developer said, that’s simply not true. Instead of doing normal iOS things like every other app, they are doing their own thing to squeeze every last dime out if you. Good design is intuitive, and this is not.Also what I found out after Googling it is even more horrific, this company put “push” behind a paywall. The fact that I had to Google how to make this stupid app work shows that it’s poor design. ![]() On what? The phone? The watch? It doesn’t say. I will be subscribing.īefore I can use it, I have to “enable push”. It shouldn’t take two taps to favorite a tweet.The developers should predict how-to videos for the app. Create a gesture to quickly favorite a tweet, like double-tap it. What want in this app: please show the number replies for a tweet. The official Twitter app is showing like one ad every 2-5 tweets. Most importantly there are no Twitter ads in this app. The hidden sidebar also allows for quickly accessing saved searches, your Twitter lists, and other parts of your account. The app also color codes your tweet so you can quickly see your tweets and retweets. It deletes the tweets, but retains the original text so that you can edit. Twitterriffic also allows for quickly editing a posted tweets. These tabs make it much easier to access content I want see. I also like how I can select four different tabs for the content I like to view, such as my favorited tweets, one or more of my Twitter lists, and my replies. First off it’s ad sponsored free, so you can use all the features and then decide to subscribe. I’ve been trying several Twitter apps, and this is the one I’ve chosen. I'm still seeing tweets from two days ago.when it should be from a few seconds ago. Also one thing I immediately noticed is the timeline feed is slow to refresh. Is there not a "refresh purchases" button? Sounds like this developer is just plain greedy. I also read a couple of reviews and people mentioned how they try to get you to pay to access certain features or abilities. I'm guessing you'd have to pay to remove the ad bar and I don't mind donating to small-time app developers but I don't know about this app. I'm so mind boggled, I can't remember if the OG Twitter app has an ad bar. I have several apps with ad promo bars but guess what? They're tiny and all at the BOTTOM. I can't even appreciate looking at the layout or design, colors or anything else because the ad bar is so distracting. So big, it completely covers half if not all of a tweet, depending on length. I open the app, login & BOOM! There's a huge ad bar at the top of the screen. It looked to have nice features, separate from the actual Twitter app, like the ability to edit your tweets, so I said heck why not. So I literally just downloaded this app minutes ago.
