Twitter Apps

Everyday I always hear people talking about Twitter. So I decided to test out four apps on my iPhone, use them, and tell you what I think about them. Right now, I am using Twitterrific for the iPhone and this is the Twitter app that I am going to stick with. All four of these apps were free, but keep in mind that there are many other Twitter apps on the App Store. For example, you can get Tweete for three dollars but I wasn't that big of a fan of the user interface. So I downloaded four Twitter apps, Twitterrific, TwitterFon, Twinkle, and Tweetlator.

Twitterrific

I really like the user interface of this app, it nice and simple. The notification sound makes it a lot more fun to see what your friends are up to. You can post tweets and pictures using TwitPic with ease. If you get a reply, the color of the tweet background will be brown. If you get a direct message, the color of the tweet background will be blue. I think this app is pretty cool and this is the one that I will stick with because it's my favorite Twitter app. 

TwitterFon

This is another great app right next to Twitterrific. It also has a nice and simple user interface with I love. However, I'm not a big fan of of the white background whenever you're seeing other people's tweets, but this is just me.  Everything like your replies, messages, friends are located at the bottom. This makes is very organized and more easier to use. You can post tweets and pictures using TwitPic with ease. One thing that also bothers me is that it doesn't have a fun notification sound like Twitterrific does. I like this app and I know a lot of people also do, but I don't think it's for me. 

Twinkle

This was an app that I wans't too big of a fan of. In my opinion, the user interface was not so good. Maybe it's just me though beause I'm a big fan when it comes to simplicity because I easily get distracted with all the colors and different images around. One feature that I really like is there nearby friends, what it does is it uses your GPS chip to find other people's tweets from a chosen number of mile radius. It's also has a very nice notification sound. This app is somewhat pretty cool, but I'm not a big fan of all the different colors and images around. Keep in mind this is only me, and my opinion.

Tweetlator

This was another great app that I really enjoyed using. It has a very organized and simple user interface which I love. It has more features than the rest of the apps such as Featured Tweeters etc. However, I am following a lot of people and this app doesn't really display a lot of tweets so I can easily miss someone's tweet. Also, it doesn't have a fun notification sound. It's okay in my opinion, but I really don't see myself using this app. 

So I hope this helped out some of you guys on choosing your Twitter app. Personally, I like the Twitterrific app the most so this is the one that I am going to stick with.
