Popular iPhone Twitter client Tweetbot this week released an iPad app and gave the iPhone version an update.
The revamped iPhone app, which is free for current users, comes with a number of improvements to the timeline and direct message views. The refreshed timeline now includes image thumbnails and colored links as well as an integrated, clickable "Retweeted by" bar. Cell colors have been modified to make the timeline more pleasing on the eye. Also, now it only takes a single tap to open a link.
The new direct message view looks similar to Apple's iMessage design. The update also brings timed auto refresh, meaning users' timelines, mentions, and direct messages will refresh automatically, every five minutes.
Among the bevy of other enhancements in Version 2.0 is also a re-designed "New Tweets" bar (which can be dismissed and configured). Additionally, links in users' bios are now clickable and scrolling performance was improved. Finally, users can now find a "huge" font size for larger text under settings display.
The new iPad app, meanwhile, is now available for users running iOS 5 and above. New iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users will have to shell out $2.99 for the app.
Tweetbot was released last year, giving the official Twitter client for iPhone a run for its money feature-wise. For example, Tweetbot gives users a single-swipe method to view conversations, the ability to view your Twitter lists as your main stream, customizable tabs and views, and push notifications.
