Hopefully, the lack of new features in this update will be addressed in subsequent releases. It’s a shame because Tweetbot remains one of the premier third-party Twitter clients for iOS. Even though the Tweetbot subscription isn’t expensive, I think Tapbots owes its users more than it has delivered. Tweetbot’s subscription is primarily based on the promise of future updates. Recognizing this, many developers time the move to a subscription with a substantial app update to start off on the right foot, which Tapbots hasn’t done. I have no issue with subscriptions conceptually, but they rightly carry the expectation that in return for regular payments, users will receive meaningful, periodic updates. However, in the long run, a successful transition to subscriptions makes up for lost users with recurring revenue, which I’m sure an experienced development team like Tapbots has considered. No matter how well it is handled, the change upsets a segment of users who aren’t willing to sign up. Service options for URL shortening, image uploads, and video uploads have been eliminated.Chrome and Firefox have been added as browser options for opening links.Dark mode has been extended to the app’s Settings screens.There are more and different UI themes, including four light versions and five dark versions where previously there were five total.

There are three new alternative app icons: Future, Future Noir, and Future Metal, which bear a close resemblance to the Modern versions of the icon.

Tweetbot 6 has implemented changes to the app’s settings too: Polls and cards are also visible thanks to the implementation of Twitter’s latest third-party APIs, and there are new dedicated and ‘#’ buttons in the app’s tweet composition sheet. In the main timeline, you’ll notice more image thumbnails than before. If you’re looking for a good Twitter client for your iPhone iPad, and your Watch, Tweetbot is the way to go.Tweetbot 6 includes new icons, themes, and other Settings updates.Īside from the new pricing model, Tweetbot 6 has only implemented a handful of new features, including a few changes to the timeline view and some design changes. Still, this app is far better than the native Twitter app which pretty much offers nothing on the Watch. Being able to quickly compose a tweet with a single tap on my Watch face would be pretty awesome. Unfortunately Tweetbot 4.1 does not yet offer Complication support for the Apple Watch nor a Glance view, something we’d really love to see. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to confirm the tweet, edit, or even start over if what say isn’t exactly right. If you want to send a tweet from your account, simply Force Touch in the main activity view and you’ll be to send a tweet using voice dictation. You can also direct message them, follow and unfollow them. If you tap on the avatar of a user, you’ll be taken to their profile where you can see their picture, read their bio and see their location if they’ve enabled it. If you tap on any of these alerts, you’ll be brought into a more detailed view where you can reply, retweet, follow back and more. When you open Tweetbot, you’ll see a scrollable view of your Twitter mentions, new follows, likes, and your favorites (which is now a heart, right?). While the app does not include a timeline for viewing recent tweets - something we think isn’t all that great anyways - the app does allow you to view your activity, something that was added in Tweetbot 4.0. Now, with Tweetbot 4.1, users will be able to compose and respond to tweets, as well as view their recent activity and profiles. The update follows the recently released Tweetbot 4.0, which included a new design as well as new iOS 9 features.

Tabpots has just released Tweetbot 4.1 for iOS, and its biggest feature is that it’s bringing its App natively to the Apple Watch.
