Really nice app, but with a couple issues
I started having issues with the official Twitter app not showing me tweets. I’d leave the app overnight, and then opening it in the morning, it would hide all the overnight tweets under a “show more tweets” button. It’d go from 8h ago right to 10m ago with everything else hidden. Super frustrating, so I needed a different app.
Twitterrific shows me every tweet! I could be off the app for a day, but then I can open it and have 700+ tweets waiting for me.
My issues/requests (and sorry if these are already available, I’m still new to the app):
1.) When I open a tweet to read replies, they take for-ev-er to load. 75% of the time, I just close the tweet and don’t even bother reading replies. Same issue when going to someone’s account. Takes forever to load their timeline.
2.) I wish there were different ways to sort replies. Official Twitter’s algorithm could be annoying with how they showed replies, but sometimes (actually, a lot of times) I don’t want to see them in order of most recent. I’d like to see them in order of most liked or oldest or…. etc.
3.) It’d be nice to see the RT/like count without having to tap on the tweet.
I like that I don’t see promoted tweets in my timeline. And the ad banner at the top isn’t distracting at all for me. Maybe I’ll eventually pay to remove it, but so far it hasn’t been annoying me.
This app could be a perfect 10 with just a few tweaks!

Paul Noce,
What we desperately need is a Parlerific
I’ve used Twitterrific since it first appeared on the App Store many years ago. Twitterrific has improved dramatically since then. Among the improvements I appreciate the most are the additions to the cosmetic settings which provide the user with several customizable layouts.
I use Twitterrific primarily on my iPad Mini in landscape mode (ie - widescreen) rather than portrait mode, and I love that the Twitterrific feed conforms itself to widescreen such that it uses all the space from left to right instead of displaying the tweets in phone/tablet mode (ie - a skinny column down the center with large black blank columns on the left and right). I am a reader. I have Twitterrific set to display any pics or vids attached to a tweet as a tiny thumbnail off to the right (rather than below the tweet) which I can tap on to instantly expand and contract if I choose to. I find that to be much more pleasing to the eye and a much faster way to scan through my timeline and read quickly. And I really love that Twitterific gives me the ability to change not only the font size but the font type itself.
Now, to the folks who developed Twitterific, please, please produce a version for Parler. Bring all the wonderful things you have built into Twitterific and put them all in a Parlerific app. Please do it.

A.JellyBean,
I couldn't even begin to like this app...
So I literally just downloaded this app minutes ago. It was feat. in a write up in the app store. It looked to have nice features, separate from the actual Twitter app, like the ability to edit your tweets, so I said heck why not. I open the app, login & BOOM! There's a huge ad bar at the top of the screen. So big, it completely covers half if not all of a tweet, depending on length. I can't even appreciate looking at the layout or design, colors or anything else because the ad bar is so distracting. Ugh. I have several apps with ad promo bars but guess what? They're tiny and all at the BOTTOM. I'm so mind boggled, I can't remember if the OG Twitter app has an ad bar. If so, it's barely noticeable. I'm guessing you'd have to pay to remove the ad bar and I don't mind donating to small-time app developers but I don't know about this app. I also read a couple of reviews and people mentioned how they try to get you to pay to access certain features or abilities. Some paid twice due to tier mix-ups. Is there not a "refresh purchases" button? Sounds like this developer is just plain greedy. Also one thing I immediately noticed is the timeline feed is slow to refresh. If it refreshes at all. I'm still seeing tweets from two days ago...when it should be from a few seconds ago. Smh.
Petey Pirahna,
Used to be good, alas
I had used Twitterrific for a few years and found it good enough. I even purchased removal of ads back when that was ~$5. Single purchase, mind you.
However, when the app switched to the subscription model, it started serving me pop ups demanding I subscribe. "You've helped out before, now help us again!" I decline, and before long (a day or two?) the pop up is back. If I recall right they're timed-- you have to wait a few seconds before you're allowed to say no. This is unacceptable. Yes, it's annoying and gets your attention and provokes a response-- mine was to delete the app and use a different one.
I get that software development isn't cheap. But customers are also not endless wells of money that need harassed until they fork it over either. Now, for all I know this was a special case-- I'd managed to restore purchases so I wasn't seeing any ads, so the pop ups may have been something not many people get. Still, the recurring pop ups are a shady move. I probably would have considered keeping the app and eventually subscribing were it not for those pop ups! Frankly, I'll avoid anything published by Icon Factory because of it. Those constant pop ups are just no way to treat customers.

Great App, Some Improvements Regarding UI
This app is excellent for anyone who wants a customizable, in-depth twitter experience. And I recommend paying for the full version and putting a tip in the Tip Jar, to help make this app even better. The ability to change the cosmetics and tabs bar really make this app something special. Along with a search bar on the timeline to narrow your feed down to specific words. This app isn’t perfect though, as the video player doesn’t have a scrubbing bar and is very clunky to use when you pause or want to view the caption of the video. Also the interchangeable tab bar is lacking in options like people who like your tweets or a button for search, which is found in the left menu but needs a spot on the tab bar. The themes of the app could also have a bit more variety, and I know this isn’t as important as a smooth UI but maybe a few colored themes or even patterns could liven up the app and make for an even more customizable and fun experience.
Ranger Rick,
Makes Twitter Useable
With all the things that Twitter has done to make itself a hostile environment for 3rd-party apps, it is a monumental feat to make something that is *still* worth using — much less giving money to — rather than just giving up and using the official app.
Sure, there are some small annoyances (all the fault of Twitter, not Twitterrific…) but even still this provides the best experience reading my timeline.
First of all, *actual chronological timeline*! Sure twitter added it as a feature lately, but it turns itself off after a while. Ridiculous!
Also no “promoted” tweets, no BS random fake friend likes getting stuffed in your timeline, no trending news junk…
Timeline sync! I can read on my iPad and my phone and it remembers where I left off. I’m one of those crazy people that reads everything in his timeline, this makes it easy.
There are a billion little things that make the interface nice to work with, many of which are “power user” features you have to spend a little time learning, but wow is it worth it. I would kill to have all of iOS have their “swipe to move the cursor” feature. It makes editing tweets much simpler.
In all, if you’re trying this because you’re fed up with Twitter messing with their API, give it a chance, give it some time. It absolutely takes a bit to learn all the neat little things Twitterrific can do that add up to making it great, but it’s worth it.

Bakari C,
Edit Your Posted Tweets; No Twitter Ads
I’ve been trying several Twitter apps, and this is the one I’ve chosen. First off it’s ad sponsored free, so you can use all the features and then decide to subscribe. I also like how I can select four different tabs for the content I like to view, such as my favorited tweets, one or more of my Twitter lists, and my replies. These tabs make it much easier to access content I want see.
Twitterriffic also allows for quickly editing a posted tweets. It deletes the tweets, but retains the original text so that you can edit. The app also color codes your tweet so you can quickly see your tweets and retweets.
The hidden sidebar also allows for quickly accessing saved searches, your Twitter lists, and other parts of your account. Most importantly there are no Twitter ads in this app. The official Twitter app is showing like one ad every 2-5 tweets. It’s very annoying.
What want in this app: please show the number replies for a tweet. The video playback is sometimes slow. Create a gesture to quickly favorite a tweet, like double-tap it. It shouldn’t take two taps to favorite a tweet.
The developers should predict how-to videos for the app. I only see one.
Thanks for this app. I will be subscribing.

H. Melville,
Suddenly...ads!
I’ve been using and telling everyone I know to use Twitterrific since April 2014. Even when twitter broke many of the features for third party apps I still was sold because of the unified, chronological timeline with no promoted tweets and an awesome dark mode.
After a week of hyping their new release and showing off screenshots on twitter, the update to 6.0 came out today and I quickly installed it to be greeted with a banner ad inconveniently placed right below the compose a tweet button. The garishly bright colors make dark mode pointless. Oh, and then I was prompted to “finally” get rid of the ads for the low, low price of thirty dollars.
Thirty dollars! That’s just silly. Oh, I can do it on “subscription”, and in either two or three years I’ll have paid more than the lifetime cost.
I wouldn’t be nearly as upset with the update of Icon Factory had either shown screenshots with the ad bar or mentioned before hand that updating would potentially remove any previous no ad features for their longest time customers. Instead they hyped the features and there’s no going back because although they call it an “all new product”, the older one is not available. Clicking on Twitterrific 5 in my purchases takes me to the new one.
Boo! I’ll leave three stars because the features are great (edit tweets? Only here), but the new forced update putting ads in for some of their oldest users is a pretty ugly move.

EPJS,
Overly complicated for use on Apple Watch
Before I can use it, I have to “enable push”. On what? The phone? The watch? It doesn’t say. The fact that I had to Google how to make this stupid app work shows that it’s poor design. Good design is intuitive, and this is not.
Also what I found out after Googling it is even more horrific, this company put “push” behind a paywall. Instead of doing normal iOS things like every other app, they are doing their own thing to squeeze every last dime out if you. They don’t have to require their own “push” service, but they do so they can control every aspect of the app.
EDIT: In response to what the developer said, that’s simply not true. You’re lying to people in order to charge them for something they don’t need. If you can display content on the iPhone app without you "push" then you can do the same on the Apple Watch app. Also you don’t need to run your own database, since you’re just piggybacking off the Twitter database. The ONLY reason you’d "require" these things is to force people to pay a premium to have Twitterrific on their watches.

iPad version glacial update
Use both the iPhone and iPad versions and the latter takes as long as 8 minutes or so to download new tweets to my feed, even after having used the app earlier the same day (my normal use is 2-3 times daily). Phone version is never more than 1 or 2 minutes to update. Additionally, cannot leave the app or allow iPad to sleep, or the refresh quits, although I would guess that is due to stringent iOS memory mgmt and out of the apps hands. Means I cannot do anything else on iPad or just set it aside until feed is updated. Marker also no longer syncs between devices.
For a while deleting and reinstalling the app would cure the issue for a day or so but that became tiring.
Behavior predates Musk burning down the barn, so not a Twitter-side issue. This is my only complaint, otherwise love the feature set and performance. 5 stars if I was only using iPhone app.
