Iconfactory releases Twitterrific 1.1 for iPhone
The Iconfactory and its chief typist, Craig Hockenberry, have been hard at work on Twitterrific 1.1, a substantial update to their mobile Twitter client for the iPhone and iPod touch.
The update features much smoother scrolling, larger tweet capacity, the ability to save pictures to the camera roll before uploading them to TwitPic, and secure HTTPS server communication. It also squashes a large number of bugs. A full accounting of the changes is available on Twitterrific's app store page and on the Iconfactory's website.
The app was included in both Mike's and Steve's list of favorite apps for their respective iPhones.
Twitterrific is still available in two flavors. 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.

I like it. The performance has improved a lot! Suddenly all the shortcomings of most of the apps are being filled up. Datacase has also just got iWork support.

They took their time, but judging from the list of changes and fixes it was worth the wait...!
Now let's hope they have a thoroughly revamped version of the desktop app in store as well...!? Twittereific for the Mac is so in need of a big update...

The iTS is acting strange for me, and not letting me get the update yet. It claims I've "added Twitterriffic" to my cart, yet there's nothing in my shopping cart. Also, apps don't go in the shopping cart!

Also, when I click the "Shopping Cart" button (next to the iTunes Home button) I get this message:

Is everybody else able to download/install this update?

I got the same error. The App Store is having some problems lately. It didn't even show up in the updates thing (app store unavailable said the message).
I searched for this application on the iPhone, and installed it from there. Worked fine.

YES! :-)
this is the update we've all been waiting for. It addresses all of my concerns. specifically the scrolling lag, and they've added posting a photo on twitpic from my camera roll! excellent work!

But does it auto-refresh/update like the Hahlo web app?

Honestly? I find it expensive. Must be under $6.

(it's not a rickroll, only an episode of Twitter Whore, which sums up what I think of Twitter and its users oh so well)

... totally agree with crsh
back IT, now: Twitterrific (the iPhone version, the desktop version... just sucks) is just the *prittiest* GUI for Twitter. looking at features, use (and, why not: cost!) Twittelator Pro wins hands down!!!

While I like Twitteriffic. I am far from impressed with this update. The update was basically a few bug fixes and a couple of new preference settings.
Now my main gripe is probably due to the Twitter API. But I hate the fact that you cannot build your follow list in Twitteriffic. You have to go out to the real Twitter and add or remove individuals to follow. Talk about a disjointed experience! Very frustrating.
Other than that, it is a nice app.

I used the free version for a while, then tried twinkle. Although I loved the little blue bird in my home screen, I removed twitterific. Twinkle does a much better job so far and the nearby function is actually quite nice.

Sweet, now when you want to add a photo to a tweet you can choose if you want to choose a photo or take one with the camera.

yeah, amaziiiiiing. and, even better... now you can also mix "everyone" with "you and those you follow". that's is fabulous. indeed!!!
but... hey, wait... uh? you can't change anything unless you do it from the web interface? =:-0

Why can't they offer a package deal for the 2 apps. Buy the desktop at $xx you get the iPhone version too or vice versa?? I have yet to buy either because of this, and am just suffering with the ads....Here's to hoping they will do this!!
