Tweetie 2.1 for iPhone ships with lists, retweet and geolocation support

One of the top Twitter clients for iPhone has been refreshed: Tweetie 2.1 is now available in the App Store [iTunes link]. Our friend Christina previewed the new features in 2.1 for Mashable last week, and the updated version delivers with support for Twitter lists, the Retweet capability, spam reporting, and geotagging of tweets (opt-in and optional, so don't worry that Tweetie is going to supercharge your stalkers without telling you). The full list of changes and features is on the app's iTunes page, and it's impressive.

Among the many improvements and tweaks is a crucial bug fix for an issue that had caused many 2.0 users (myself included) to gnash our teeth in frustration: the older version had a lot of problems saving state, causing old updates to appear again and, in the worst-case situation, old tweets to be sent repeatedly. It was aggravating, and it kept me from using Tweetie 2 as my full-time iPhone Twitter client -- but now it's gone.

Tweetie 2 is US$2.99, whether or not you own a copy of Tweetie 1 (it's considered a whole new app). If you're a busy Twitter user on your iPhone or iPod touch, you really ought to give it a try.

I really dislike the new retweet functionality (or maybe just the fact that Atebits removed RT as an option all together). I like to have choice and I don't use the retweet feature on Twitter - just RT.

I bought Tweetie based on reviews I've read and wow was I disappointed. Echofon in my opinion is so much more satisfying to use, and way more intuitive as well.

Still will not eclipse EchoFon until it integrates an unread tweet counter.

Uh, I'm pretty sure Tweetie's developer has nothing to do with iTunes update notifications...

I agree about the chat bubbles and the interface. I really miss the themes and the interface could still use some tweaking. I would love a few more settings. For instance I don't really like how it starts up where I left off. I would rather have the option for it start up on my twitter feed.

I think the icon is fine, not that big of a deal, but it could stand a redesign.

As far as the problems with having to re-download it, I think that's a problem with iTunes, because I've had the same problem with several different apps. Also, lately on my iPhone i keep having to reenter my iTunes password at random times.

all of you should feel ashamed of yourselves for paying for a twitter app.

If you people are complaining about the ICON being something wrong with the app, then you have officially gone insane. It's not "ugly" by any stretch of the imagination. If you want ugly icons, I can find you some ugly icons.

@Gazoobee: seems like that is an iTunes issue and not a Tweetie issue?

Love the app but why did he ditch the Chat Bubbles theme? Loved that. Made it clean and easy to read and very MAC-like.

Also, I know he says to just add another user account but why not have GROUPS?

Be perfect for me if those two features were added...in the case of the 'themes', I should say if he added them BACK.

I've been using Tweetie since 1.0 and it really is the best Twitter app (on both iPhone and Mac). He can take all the time he needs to integrate new features and push out updates: when he does them, he does them right. It's all integrated so well. I had been waiting to get Twitter lists to be able to sync down to my clients before really starting to use them and I'm pumped about them getting on my iPhone. Now I just need Tweetie for Mac to get updated with list support and I'll really be happy. It's that old Mobile, Web, Computer triage of syncing that I'm looking for. It'll come.
