TUAW's Daily App: Twitterrific (and others!)

It feels like this new version is a couple of step backwards from the old version. Some things are nicer. But it's generally a lot more clicks to do the same thing as in the old version. And it's missing some nice features like adding @-usernames when you're writing a tweet. Or adding map location. Updating your twitter location. For example.

OK, I figured it out. V3 is a separate app from V2 and they can coexist. You have to enter your account details again in V3. All is well here now.

I'd like to upgrade to the next version of Twitterrific, but it seems that I'll get a one-account version first and when I pay it'll be able to handle multiple accounts. So will my account settings be hosed and will I have to configure all my accounts anew? Anyone know?

And I do have to say... I don't like the new interface. I kept using Twitteriffic after the official Twitter app came out because I preferred the way it handled things (clickable links in the timeline). Now it just opens the tweet when you click on it right away. At this rate, I might as well use the official app.

Is there even a full settings screen like there was in the old verison of Twitteriffic? I can't seem to find it.

I guess I'll be sticking with 2.1.6 Pro until they bring 3.x up to the same feature level (and then some).

I was waiting for this update. Twitteriffic used to be my favourite twitter app. I really like the way twitterrrific uses different collors for mentions, DM's etc.
But this update is a bit of a dissapointment for me. Apps like the official twitter app and (my current fav) Echofon are much more advanced.
It looks like features were left out instead of new features added.
And you used to be able to click on linksdirectly in the time line, not anymore. There's no synching with their desktop app (big plus for echofon)
I could go on and on, bit of a bummer this update :(

I gave up on Twitteriffic even though I'd paid for it. Have switched to Osfoora now.

I'm kinda disappointed that Twitterrific 3.0 does not allow font size changes. That seems like a fundamental oversight. The iPhone4's crisp screen is much easier to read, and having a smaller font option would let me see more tweets on the page at a time. :( ... so I downloaded the official Twitter client and have been using it more and more.

so wait ...what? I purchased the Pro version of Twitterrific a while back ...and now they want me to re-purchase it now as an in-app upgrade? Seriously?
