![]() The only advantage is no ads - which sadly makes me wish Twitter officially offered a no ads subscription. It seems meant exclusively to view tweets in a linear format and not engage in discussion. ![]() It requires a long press to view the individual tweet and see replies to it - making it slow and awkward to follow any conversation at all. In addition, it seems to have constant network issues, and fails to post when the regular Twitter app has no problem. You can’t even view quote retweets of tweets - which are the most interesting part of discussion in my usage (juicy ratio-ed discourse - where you get to read the range of perspectives on one controversial tweet). You can’t read through threads - replies appear just as they did in 2011. It made me realize how much Twitter has grown in the past decade - because Tweetbot is lacking all the most important functionality. When the newest version came out, I really wanted to support and love it, instantly buying the 1 year subscription. I was a huge fan of Tweetbot 1 and 2 many years ago, using it after Tweetie got bought out. Once these things are addressed and fixed, I will have a higher rating. Overall, the functionality and the clunkiness of how the app operates need to improve in my opinion. I do believe these are easy fixes that would improve the functionality of the app. Tweetbot makes me press on the settings of a tweet to look at the details of everything which is honestly time-consuming and annoying. For example, on the home screen, if I see a tweet that possibly has other people interacting with it and tuning in to a conversation, I cannot simply press on the tweet to see what's going on. The way the app functions when trying to interact with a tweet is just rough all around tbh. I have to go to a certain section of my profile to see who liked/retweeted any of my tweets opposed to how the original Twitter app I have all of that information in my “Notification Tab” that is merely one click away. Especially when I'm simply trying to find out who recently liked my tweet or mentioned me. Also, I do not like the tab bar at the bottom too much, I don't find it to be very helpful. I find myself having to press the home button multiple times to refresh to the top of the page which is a turn-off for me. The fluidity of the app is a little clunky. However, there are a few cons that I think bring down my rating for it. The look, aesthetics, and display are attractive. I think the app is pretty good for the most part.
