While you can certainly use Twitter for iPhone and then an app like Tweetbot or Twitterrific on the Mac, the downside is your preferences won’t sync. If you want a seamless experience across all of your devices, Twitter as an app just doesn’t offer anything. Since Twitter doesn’t have a native macOS client (save us Tweetie), this gives Twitterrific a leg up on the official Twitter app. Twitterrific for iPhone also syncs your spots between the Mac version as well. It also includes an “edit” tweet functionality, but it’s actually just deleting and re-tweeting it. Twitter’s official app offers the ability to block topics as well, but Twitterrific takes it up a notch. Muffling is helpful if you want to block topics like politics (you could muffle Trump) or sports (you could muffle March Madness). Muffling gives you the ability to hide certain hashtags, URL domains, or phrases. While the core of it is the same as the official Twitter app, it does have some unique features compared to it. Over the years, Twitterrific has seen multiple redesigns and overhauls.
Twitterrific for iPhoneĪs I mentioned earlier, Twitterrific on the iPhone is the original Twitter app for the iPhone before the App Store was even built. Twitter for iPhone is available for free on the App Store. It has a nice design, is frequently updated, and it supports all of the latest features from Twitter. Clicking on an Instagram link opens the image in a mobile view of Instagram. Instagram integration is also not great on the official app due to Facebook and Twitter not having a partnership. I also wish I could disable seeing likes from other people. It also has some exclusive features like group direct messages and instant notifications.Īs far as negatives, I wish I could force it to always show me the latest tweets instead of occasionally switching back to ones it thinks that I will like best. For people who use Twitter as a way to follow the latest news, keep up with friends, and don’t worry about their timeline always being in chronological order, Twitter’s official iPhone app has a lot to like. Twitter has really made the app easy to use with link preview embeds, rich media (with GIF integration), ability to create threads (with tweeting all at once) and live video through Periscope. It brings a lot to the table (especially for new users). While the official Twitter app gets a lot of hate from the Twitter-tech community, I actually don’t hate it. So let’s look to see, what is the best Twitter app for iPhone? Twitter for iPhone People who use third-party Twitter apps are likely Twitter’s most engaged users. I actually think they should use ads in third-party apps as a way to justify keeping the API open (and investing in it). I also know that without ads Twitter doesn’t make any money. While I would love for Twitter to offer a premium tier to its service where I could get a verified account with no ads, they currently don’t. One of the common reasons for people preferring one of the third-party apps was due to it being ad-free. I put out a poll on Twitter a few weeks ago to see what my followers like, and why they like it.
This week, I want to look at all of the Twitter apps for iPhone to see which one is the best. While Twitter has done a lot to hurt third-party apps in recent years, there is still a somewhat thriving ecosystem.
I would even argue that without the App Store, Twitter would not be the company it is today. Twitterrific was one of the apps released for Jailbroken iPhones prior to the launch of the App Store with iPhone OS 2.0. Twitter apps for the iPhone have been around before the App Store.
