Yesterday we told you that Twitter is about to release their new free Twitter ( ex Tweetie ) app for iPhone. It took a little bit, but it is finally here and it is… well, it is free…
The first thing you will notice is that Twitter changed the app’s icon. Horrible icon if you ask me, but if you want to change it, there’s an easy way to do it. The apps feels snappier , probably due to the new authorization system.
Old style retweets are gone. Personally, i don’t like the new way of re-tweeting, but that’s just a matter of personal taste. The retweet button is now included in the on-tweet swipe menu, and if you try to quote a tweet, you will get a quoted message and not the old “/via” syntax.
Probably the most exciting feature of Twitter app, is that now you can search, view top tweets and browse suggested users even if you don’t have an account. If you want you can sing-up from within the app too. That is pretty cool.
That’s pretty much it. Since my Twitter client of choice was Tweetie since for ever, i will be using the new Twitter app from now on. It can easily satisfy my on-the-go Twitter needs.
Get Twitter for free from the appstore…
