Twitterrific updated to 2.1, adds many new features

I was a Twitterrific user, but I switched to Tweetie some time ago. For what I've seen, it looks like they're taking features from Tweetie: the "load more" button comes from it, the same as the picture viewer.

And it I still feel like paying 3 dollars for tweetie rather than Twitterrific with ads. Tweetie graphics are sweeter, and the difference becomes huge if you compare both desktop apps. Also, the different themes... My vote still goes for Tweetie both for iPhone and desktop app.

Please, give Tweetie a try and let us know if you keep with Twitterrific, I does worth a try!!

"Twitterrific is the only Twitter client app I've used for my iPhone so far. "

Don't readers deserve for a review to at least have some context?

With these new features, I'm now back to Twitterrific at the moment, from Tweetie. The only thing I don't like now about Twitterrific is that marking something a favorite seems to take forever. Is it that way for everyone? Using the "mark" tool is fast, but generally when I mark something a favorite it's because I want to come back to it from my Mac and view it in full screen.

I switched to Twitterfon. It seems to work more reliably.

I've found the scrolling to be much more jagged and not nearly as smooth as before. Anyone else feel this too?

I've been trying out Tweetings and SimplyTweet just because they both support push messages. I get a notification if someone mentions me (by SimplyTweet). Tweetings is more subtle because it just adds a badge to its icon. Tweetings also only cost $1, and uses that OAuth system, so you don't actually have to give it your password; it takes you to the twitter page and you authorize it as an application that can access your feed.

I tried Twitterific before, and prefered TwitterFon. (Which gave way to SimplyTweet, and now Tweetings.)

I finally ditched Tweetie for Twitterrific 2.1. Here's why:

I've always preferred these features in Twitterriffic over Tweetie:

* Much better conversation thread view. In Tweetie, you have to keep tapping "in reply to" over and over. Not cool.

* Nicer looking interface, more polished.

* Much more powerful search feature ("all words" and "any words", and combining those with other criteria as well such as distance).

* In Tweetie you can box yourself into a corner by typing a tweet including a long URL, and go over the 140-char limit, then you're stuck..even if the URL could be shortened, Tweetie isn't smart enough to handle it and you can't post it. In Twitterrific, you can shorten the URL before you post, which is great.

Things that prevented me from switching to Twitterrific 2.0, though:

* Couldn't get a large view of people's avatars

* No password support for InstaPaper

* Viewing TwitPics was lame, opened up in a browser

But now those things are resolved, as well as new added features. It rocks!

Incidentally...where the heck is the InstaPaper option? They sure did hide it, because I can't figure out how to save a tweet to InstaPaper.

Nice that Twitterific has picked up some of Tweetie's nicer features. ;-)

Surprised that it still doesn't have push for DMs, I would've thought that would be the must-have feature for a new OS 3.0-specific release...

Coming from an iphone developer - only embedded browsers that allow you to type in a web address must be rated 17+. If your app limits what is viewable through a web browser it may retain a 4+ (or an other) rating.

I still prefer Tweetie.
