Yesterday Twitter client Tweetbot has received a major upgrade and has grown to the second version. The already popular application that has received a lot of well-deserved awards, obzavlelos number of useful innovations and interface improvements. From the main can be noted redesigned Direct Messages, auto-update, service Readability support, a number of changes in the Timeline. Full list of changes can be found in blog developers.
Update Tweetbot immediately received a lot of positive feedback from users, as well as requests to release a version for the iPad. In Tapbot, apparently aware of it in advance and we prepared a great surprise. Following information about the update version for the iPhone, in the developer blog appeared meaningful «One more thing... Something goes here.», As Tweetbot is now available for iPad owners.
Unfortunately, the app does not become universal, and Tweetbot for iPad you will have to pay an additional $ 2.99. Try to figure out how successful the iPad version and whether to spend money on it.
First of all let's talk about the appearance of the application. The color scheme of the interface and some ideas are repeated iPhone version, but of course, taking into account the larger diagonal screen application design is different. The color scheme and interface elements on the fan, I personally have not decided if I like it, it looks like Tweetbot. In terms of appearance, I still would have given preference to the official client, although I do not consider it ideal.
If we talk about the functionality, then there Tweetbot far exceeds the official client. First of all I want to say about Readability support in the embedded browser. You are free to choose which view mode is enabled by default, for this purpose in the top bar of the built-in browser has the appropriate radio button. At least for the sake of this function, I am ready to give up in favor of the official client Tweetbot.
I really liked that in the film already shows a small preview of images from the supported services. By pressing you can open any of them, pressing it again will return the image to place in a small preview. In addition, the tape looks very attractive due to the fact that all the tools for working with tweets hidden. To retweet, add to favorites, and other activities, just click on the tweet and will open additional socket. It is convenient and does not overload the interface.
Another undoubted advantage of the application is a separate tab with inoformatsiya of retweets.
The developers have paid a lot of attention to detail that make the work with the application becomes very enjoyable. You can adjust the effect for the triple click, retweet example, transfer or add to favorites. Swipe your finger across the tweet and tab opens with all responses. You can set the date format, display name, event notification and citation format.
As you might have guessed, the settings in Tweetbot enough. The most useful I think the font size selection, the ability to disable unused menu items, for example, if I do not use «Mute Filters» function, you can disable it.
In addition, the developers have provided ample opportunities for choice of services to reduce the links and send media files. There is support for four Read Later services as well as synchronization with other customers using the service Tweet Marker. By the way, if you do not like Readability, but still want to view the optimized pages, you can select as Google Mobilizer Instapaper or replacement.
The only thing I did not like Tweetbot - is preset update time. The tape will be updated every five minutes, or manually. I would prefer to be able to reduce or increase the update interval, perhaps in new versions it will be added. In general, Tweetbot for iPad - I liked, especially with flexible settings and optimized viewing web pages. This is a great alternative as the official client, and many third-party applications.
