Twittelator Neue Review

Setting up your account is as simple as entering your Twitter username and password and within seconds you’ve be seeing your timeline in Twittelator Neue clean, clear and fast interface.

The main timeline flows beautifully up and down the screen in both vertically and horizontally and also includes some simple, subtle yet effective animations when you refresh your timeline or fully load the inline displayed pictures, yes, that’s right, inline displayed photos.

This is one of the best features of the application. Any tweet that includes a picture will display a slice of the image below it. This image will also scroll as the timeline scrolls and then by tapping it the image will open up full screen, it works great.

You can also turn on a feature where the profile image of all the Twitter ‘celebrities’ will also show in the same way, however if you follow a lot of them it will bet very repetitive and unnecessary.

The other great feature, that in my opinion every Twitter app should include, is the inclusion of Tweet Marker which lets you synchronise your timeline between devices. This is invaluable if you use Twitter across multiple devices, as long as all the apps use Tweet Marker of course!

Scrolling between your Timeline, Direct Messages, Mentions is just a swipe away as they appear as multiple panels that you can slide between. You can also add additional panels to your time line such as Searches or Lists and swipe between those too.

All the normal features are included including the ability to post to multiple Twitter accounts at the same time and Facebook but it’s the small things that really impress me about this app such as the subtle sounds as you navigate around and the animations that give this app a real professional feel to it.

Unfortunately for me at least there is one major omission from this app that will probably prevent it from being my goto Twitter application and that’s push notifications. For me these are a requirement, I want to know immediately I’m responded to or I receive a Direct Message and so without that I’m always going to have to keep a Twitter app on my iPhone that provides that.

With all that said though I won’t be deleting Twitterlator Neue from my iPhone, it’s speed, sleek design and in-line pictures make it just to good to give up.

If you want to find out more you can head over to www.twittelator.com to watch a video of the app or get it from the App Store here for just $1.99.

What we like:

• In-line pictures
• Fast, sleek design
• Tweet Marker support
• Great animations

What to know:

• No push notifications

Twitter for iPhone Version 3.0 can be considered as a major update as it has not just changed the name of the app (previously Tweetie 2) but brings many new features and the best part is that it’s Free!

When you launch the new app ‘Twitter’ you will notice that in-order to use it you don’t really need an account. Without signing in the app allows you to Search, Browse users, view trends and top tweets. This is a great feature which will help people who aren’t familiar with Twitter to learn about the popular microblogging service. Additionally, the app allows you to sign-up for a Twitter account within the application and supports Suggested user list too.

The loading time and performance of the app is very impressive,we tested the app with our account which has more than 5,000 followers and  the app loaded within 3 seconds (fastest twitter app for iPhone!).

The ability to search your timeline, mentions and DM is also a great addition and will prove to be very useful if you are tracking an event or want to filter your tweets. You still can’t delete multiple DM’s at the same time and we hope that Twitter considers this as a future update.

Other Changes:

• Search has been reorganized, now you can search all tweets and find users in the same spot, view Top Tweets and Browse Suggested users.
• More tab has been re-organized to accomplish all this. Users with one account can add a second account under the Accounts and Settings button here.
• Actions we’ve found people use most, like Retweet have been moved to the main actions bar.

Overall we could notice minor user interface tweaks which gave the app the ‘original’ Twitter look.
