User Reviews for Tweetbot for Twitter

Enjoyable but needs work

I think the app is pretty good for the most part. The look, aesthetics, and display are attractive. However, there are a few cons that I think bring down my rating for it. The fluidity of the app is a little clunky. I find myself having to press the home button multiple times to refresh to the top of the page which is a turn-off for me. Also, I do not like the tab bar at the bottom too much, I don't find it to be very helpful. Especially when I'm simply trying to find out who recently liked my tweet or mentioned me. I have to go to a certain section of my profile to see who liked/retweeted any of my tweets opposed to how the original Twitter app I have all of that information in my “Notification Tab” that is merely one click away. The way the app functions when trying to interact with a tweet is just rough all around tbh. For example, on the home screen, if I see a tweet that possibly has other people interacting with it and tuning in to a conversation, I cannot simply press on the tweet to see what's going on. Tweetbot makes me press on the settings of a tweet to look at the details of everything which is honestly time-consuming and annoying. I do believe these are easy fixes that would improve the functionality of the app. Overall, the functionality and the clunkiness of how the app operates need to improve in my opinion. Once these things are addressed and fixed, I will have a higher rating.

Hasn’t kept up with modern Twitter usage - limited functionality

I was a huge fan of Tweetbot 1 and 2 many years ago, using it after Tweetie got bought out. When the newest version came out, I really wanted to support and love it, instantly buying the 1 year subscription. It made me realize how much Twitter has grown in the past decade - because Tweetbot is lacking all the most important functionality. You can’t read through threads - replies appear just as they did in 2011. You can’t even view quote retweets of tweets - which are the most interesting part of discussion in my usage (juicy ratio-ed discourse - where you get to read the range of perspectives on one controversial tweet). In addition, it seems to have constant network issues, and fails to post when the regular Twitter app has no problem. It requires a long press to view the individual tweet and see replies to it - making it slow and awkward to follow any conversation at all. It seems meant exclusively to view tweets in a linear format and not engage in discussion. The only advantage is no ads - which sadly makes me wish Twitter officially offered a no ads subscription.

The Best of Tapbots, But A Touch Outdated

While I’ve been a Tweetbot user since the very first version launched on the app store and pushed it like crazy against all the competitors when third-party Twitter clients were the norm, I shied away from using them in recent years because of the design language and lack of modern twitter features available on the first-party client.What you get here is the best of the best Tapbots can bake into a Twitter client along with no tracking or ads for 99¢ per month.If you enjoy the familiar functionality and design of Tweetbot, you’ll love the app and feel right at home.For me though, I can’t help but feel as though the design language hasn’t evolved much beyond 2012 era cues and would’ve loved to see a reimagining of the interface. While I suppose it does align more closely with the goofy (neo-skeuomorphic) nature of macOS 11, you’re still left feeling trapped in an app that hasn’t changed in a decade. Granted, Twitter’s own app has only recently added changes. Part of me enjoys the cartoonish icons that bring me back to simpler times on twitter, but I mostly wish they felt modern at least. Essentially, you are paying for an app free of ads and tracking and the trade off of features like Fleets and Spaces (and voice tweets and polls).Covering the cost of ads alone is enough to justify the sub to support the Tapbots team for me, but I do wish there would be a reimagining of the visual interface.

Still the only usable Twitter app on mobile

We all know the official Twitter client is garbage. Littered with ads, attempting to regulate how you view your timeline, “features” added suddenly and without warning that are annoying at best or harassment vectors at worse. Tweetbot remains the only usable Twitter client. Chronological timelines and ad free scrolling are the number one features, but the added features tweetbot offers are nice if they fit your particular use case. The app is nice and cleanly designed, and offers some nice theming as well.Since the Twitter API change, we haven’t been able to view likes or RTs on our tweets in tweetbot, but I’ve since learned that I didn’t need that additional noise in my life and don’t mind it being gone.This is the third or fourth version of tweetbot I’ve paid for and as long as it exists I will continue to pay for it. The issue in the past was that If you weren’t paying attention, you might have missed a new version being released. I hope the subscription model prevents that from happening in the future. While I agree that subscriptions are hit or miss for people, the ability as a long time user to continue to support the developer of their favorite app beats the alternative of having the developer go under or be bought by a worse corporation. In conclusion, if tweetbot one day is unable to function due to more restrictive Twitter api rules, I will stop using Twitter itself.

Software as a Service strikes again

The mass explosion of the subscription model is one of the worst things to happen to consumer software. Professional software suites like Adobe can get away with it for the reason that their alternatives don’t have the same market share and integration, but as a third party social media client, you’re already the underdog, and you’ve got more convincing to do to get me to use your product. Fortunately, Tweetbot 5 was a stellar app, and in spite of Twitter’s stinginess with their API for all those years was full of really nice features. Tweetbot 6 brings all of that and more to the table—time will tell how much more—but I’m not sure the added features make it worth it the shift in business model. I realize developing a good application takes time and money, and I’m all for supporting developers. I paid good money for Tweetbot in the past. But at the end of the day, for an average person like me, it’s literally just Twitter. It’s not so important to me that I won’t just keep using TB5 and the Twitter web client rather than shell out even more than I paid for TB5 every year for something new. Perhaps if the Tweetbot iOS and MacOS clients could be bundled together this could be a good deal, but otherwise it’s sad to see one of the all-time greats go this way.

Nice Update, But Subscription Hmmmm....

The devs behind Tweetbot are amazing and deserve support for making what I would say is the best Twitter client out there. To be honest Twitter should pay Tapbots for their designs and efficiency of the app. Even though I will continue to support the app as well as the devs, I think maybe quarterly feature updates that you have to pay a upgrade fee would be cool or even a decently priced upgrade charge for the yr. I think that everything going subscription doesn’t make sense when people are starting to get subscription fatigue. I think that yearly update charge, or even every six months not being advertised as subscription but something someone would have to consider and purchase it especially if the features are worth it. Which I believe this app and the devs do a great job of doing so I can see people supporting it. Maybe some creative thought can go into a different model but I’m all for this update and the devs being supported because I want them to continue going with what is the best Twitter experience that they are allowed to make because Twitter themselves took away a lot of the features.

App feels bored

Having been using Tweetbot since it came out 11 years ago, it is an app I use daily and I’ve paid more than $50 to Tapbots over years, but new functions and design refinement of Tweetbot 6 doesn’t feel like warranting a $6/year paid subscription. If you can can live without Twitter API V2 features and use official app as substitute as I do, you’re probably better off just using Tweetbot 5 until it’s dead. Also, a $4.99 app every year or every other year, rather than a subscription just feel like more appropriate for a social networking app. Subscription adds unnecessary cumbersome management to end user and I really don’t need a social network app appearing in my already crowded App Store subscription section. That being said, it’s worth noting Tweetbot has vastly better app efficiency, data privacy policy comparing to official clients. And if you’re new to Tweetbot, it’s still a great purchase. Also, if a subscription means it will works cross platform, including Mac, that will be a big value add for end users too and I’ll happily subscribe. Hope Tapbots can consider.

Early access, at Full price

Ive been using Tweetbot 5 or whatever the version prior to this new subscription based Tweetbot. Ive had some issues here and there over the years but they have usually been resolved eventually. When i heard of a new Tweetbot i decided to jump all in. Even at the price of admission with the new features i was excited for a breath of fresh air in Tweetbot.Then i subbed with the free trial and off i went….my excitement quickly vanished like an accidental alcohol spill it evaporated in mere seconds. Looks like nothing has changed except for one thing, the subscription price. Im not against subscriptions if the usefulness of the app is warranted (June Cloud owns me for life with Deliveries) and i will gladly pay it to ensure the devs get paid enough to keep working on the app. However i found that even in early access, its just not warranted. So i did was any other user would do, cancel subscription, delete app and re-download the old one. Well thats where I was wrong. The app is slowly falling apart to the point where media no longer plays correctly if at all. When i asked for support, they said i needed Tweetbot 6 to remedy this as the API has changed and thats all good, except you have to pay to use the new version. So im basically left with a broken Tweetbot 5 and and my only recourse is to pay the $5.99/year for Tweetbot 6. Off to the official twitter app i go! Thanks for all the years TapBots, but today i say good bye.

Disappointed with paying subscriptions

I have to say that this is sad because I have used this app for many years now since it came out and the company was known for their Utilities app’s once I found out they were doing an Twitter client I was on board, but after many years. I wouldn’t mind paying for a new version of the app every year, so now playing for a subscription and keeping all the most useful features behind a pay wall call subscription is not ok with me at all I can’t support it. I don’t have any type of subscription because I don’t believe in them, I don’t even pay for DLC or micro transactions in the video games I play and love the most, so I would have rather be charge up front for this update than being looked out of the features that matters the most to me and many other users it doesn’t matter how cheap the subscription is. I just don’t appreciate and like subscription I would have love for the developer to let the previous version of the app users that they were going to lose some of their features after the update. Not recommend, and I’m sorry but this update is trash great app though, just don’t like and appreciate the new subscription model they had adopted, but hey a company needs to make a profit in order to survive no other choice. Good Luck to the company and the users. It didn’t have to be this way.

UX/UI can be weird and there are some bugs

My motivation in trying this out was mainly to use Twitter without ads and without all the other bad stuff they use to hook you (curated timelines, suggested stuff, etc.). I'm happy that this app doesn't have any of that stuff and I'm fine with paying a small subscription for that. I also liked all the customizability. Going between all the other social media apps I never have trouble getting around, but going from the normal Twitter app to this I had some trouble. Mainly the way you open a thread is to swipe, which I thought was totally bizarre. I did get into the habit of it, but when I'd go to a different app I'd be used to doing it the weird swipe way and I'd do something else by mistake. There's other weird UI stuff, like when you go to someones account pictures don't show up until you scroll down and hit "show all tweets." I feel like there's lots of little slight misses like that that kinda make the experience a little clumsy. I also encountered a bug where a thread would not show replies sometimes. The reply count would be correct, but they wouldn't show up. This app seems cool, and I'd be excited to use it if all that stuff was fixed.
