Missing Tweets

When I use Twitter I want to read every tweet. I use timeline sync so when I move between devices it keeps my place and I can catch up on what I have missed. A few weeks ago during an announcement event I realized that I had seen absolutely zero tweets about a product that was announced. I thought this was odd and so I went back and checked and what I found was that there were tweets, they had just never shown up in Tweetbot.

I installed a different Twitter app and was able to see them in my timeline. So I opened both apps in Split View on the iPad and went through both timelines side by side checking every tweet. What I found was that Tweetbot kept missing tweets that the other app did not. It wasnt just isolated to this event either, I tested both apps during various other times and found that Tweetbot consistently was dropping tweets, not a lot, but any missing tweets are too much for me.

I love Tweetbot and have been using it for years but I have had to uninstall it because if the one purpose of the product is to show you a timeline of every tweet and some of those tweets are missing, thats completely unacceptable.

turfd about Tweetbot 5 for Twitter, v4.5
