Tweetbot 5 for Twitter App Reviews

Do not buy

Total waste of my money. Do not buy. The original Twitter app is better. The newest features come first on it, plus you cant even access all the photos from you or anyone else.

So much better

I was about to leave Twitter all together till I found this app. There is a slight learning curve but after about five minutes it seems natural and is so much better than the official app. There is a review out there that says you cant get to the top of your timeline but all you have to do is double tap the chat bubble icon in the bottom left. The only reason I dont give five stars is beyond the price. Its a bit much.

Great App! Except...

After hearing about Tweetbot from YouTuber MKBHD I was willing to give it a try. Plus I needed something different besides the lackluster mobile app from Twitter. Though I think I will have to go back to it. First of all, Retweeting simply does not work. When I try the post only has @"username" and it posts whatever the persons username of the post I wanted to retweet. Secondly, What is up with this terrible search tab!?

Features not working

I decided to give the upgraded version a go but am having issues with tweets loading and links opening within the app. Hopefully theres a fix.

Lags on 9.3

Long lags on loading with 9.3. Unusually long period of time with the black screen with logo on it before your time line appears.

Column View

I enjoy the app but really wish I could disable Column View on my iPad Pro.

Great app, glitch needs fixing

Love it! But I have a glitch. It doesnt have a pop up asking for notifications. I cant turn it on in settings. I have tried reinstalling. Please fix!

Tweets not loading

As much as I love this app, the fact that the tweets arent loading sometimes really makes the app frustrating to use. Until this is fixed, Ill be using the official Twitter app.

Best of the bunch

I had 3 other 3rd party Twitter apps on my phone and used them side by side and Tweet bot came out ahead by far. Easy to use but with added extras I need.

Missing features

Not really their fault due to the API but I cant really give this app a higher score if its missing important features that are in the official Twitter app.

Awesome, but missing group chats

I use group chats often enough that its worth docking two stars since I have to use the default client (which is bad). Otherwise, Tweetbot is the best Twitter app around. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Better than all the rest

Been using tweetbot for years and Ill switch to a different client but always wind up switching back because tweetbot is still better than the rest

Good, but Room for Improvement

I downloaded this app by accident, and I tried to get a refund, but it wasnt eligible for a refund, so I thought I may as well use the app. I dont like that I cant get notifications when a certain person tweets, or that theres no Apple Watch glance, or that you cant even view your timeline on the Apple Watch. Right now, I feel the watch app is pointless. If I had known all this, I wouldnt have even been looking at the app for the 10th time when I had accidentally downloaded it.

Nice app but...

Best app to use Twitter in iOS. Lose stars because: - No Polls - No Moments - No photo description for accessibility (extremely disappointed)

Twitter polls!

WHEN WILL YOU SUPPORT TWITTER POLLS ALREADY?

No more Moments

straight forward and a clean interface. No more Twitter moments !

Thinking of switching to official app

Ive been a loyal Tweetbot customer for years, but it seems the same issues are creeping up again. Tapbots remains active when launching a new app and then slowly goes quiet and lets bugs fester. There is currently a loading issue on 9.3 as others have mentioned. Many features are not incorporated, although some may be explained by the lack of API access. In general, it seems like Twitter is far more active on the development front.

Good

Is this app worth 3/4 times the price of other premium Twitter apps, hell no. But it is the best Twitter app on any platform, so theres that.

Had to go back to version 3

Version 4 has its annoyances. Biggest is that after I visit a web page, hitting the Done link at the top left corner can take me up to ten tries before it takes it. If I was rapid-fire hitting the Done link when it does take it, it scrolls to the top and I lose my place. I went back to version 3.
