Twitterrific released in two flavors for iPhone

The friendly friends at The Iconfactory have released two editions of Twitterrific for the App Store: one is a free version supported by advertising, and the other is a paid version that omits the ads.

Twitterrific (the free version) periodically shows ads via The Deck, similar to its free counterpart for the desktop.

Twitterrific Premium is $9.99, and omits the advertising. It also includes an extra display theme.

Both apps are available via the App Store.

I'd personally like to congratulate the ADC-award-winning team on their efforts: It looks great, and I'm very much looking forward to using the software on my iPod touch.

Update: The Iconfactory has posted a blog entry about the release, including details about a detail view for each tweet, and a mini-browser to quickly look at links (without having to open Mobile Safari -- but you can if you want to). They even posted some screenshots. Looks awesome!

I won't use this app out of principle. A cell network isn't like your home network. Every byte eats into your data plan (no pun intended). I don't like ads in my iPhone apps.

Honestly, the free version of this Twitter app isn't great - the scrolling stutters and it's got ads. Which is their right, but the jailbreak apps (also free) did not. Additionally, I'm not found on their decision to implement a double-click sort of navigation.

Am I the only person who doesn't understand TUAW's ridiculous obsession with Twitter? Or am I the only one here who doesn't have friends who even know what twitter is?

OK, the two price option thing is awesome-hope this becomes a trend on the App Store-really takes the risk out of trying new stuff!

I noticed a few other apps doing the same thing. Exposure, a flickr browser also used "The Deck" to push ads.

I want a Twitter program that will allow me to take a picture and tweet that. Anyone know if this will do it?

Nice to see Twitterific in the UK equates is $12 .. UK iTunes users again getting shafted on price.

I congratulate them on a clever delivery. By offering two downloads, the app will be accessible to everyone, and many will prefer the ad-free one. Brilliant!
