I don’t know the specific technical requirements that go into making an efficient “Load More Tweets” mechanism, but I will say that Tweetbot handles gaps consistently better than Twitterrific. Most apps offer some sort of “Load More” option when this happens, at which point you have two options: skip the old, unloaded tweets, or tap to load them manually. Gaps are what happens when you don’t check Twitter for several hours, and you missed more tweets than your client is capable of loading at one time. I’m obligated here to mention something about gap handling. On the other hand, if you read every tweet anyway, you’ll see your mentions as you scroll through your timeline, and you probably won’t miss having a separate Mentions tab. Users in the former category will probably dislike Twitterrific’s unified timeline because the lack of a dedicated Mentions tab makes it easier for them to miss replies and mentions. If you follow a smaller number of people, you might like to read all of the tweets since the last time you checked Twitter. If you follow hundreds of people, you probably don’t read every tweet and are content to just jump in and read whatever’s going on in your timeline at the moment. This is great if you: A) read every tweet, or B) don’t follow many people. All tweets, mentions, and direct messages show up in Twitterrific’s main timeline. The second feature is less an issue of aesthetics and more an issue of function, and that’s the unified timeline. If you enjoy a minimalist, yet capable, design, you’ll probably find Twitterrific to be a wonderful experience. Anybody would do well to use it as their main Twitter client, but there are two features that I would use to determine whether Twitterrific is right for someone. A Few Words About Twitterrificįirst of all, I love Twitterrific. However, Tweetbot has recently managed to supplant Twitterrific’s position on my home screen. Personally, I’ve always been a diehard Twitterrific fan across all of my devices. Lots has already been written about Tweetbot (see Federico Viticci’s reviews of Tweetbot 2.0 and Tweetbot for iPad, in particular), and the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Not only did Tapbots release version 2.0 of Tweetbot for iPhone, they also unleashed Tweetbot for iPad, both of which were met with much fanfare on the interwebs.
