Another bad app by the same dev.
Aviary 1 looked really nice and never performed to expectations. This app is more of the same. Looks nice, but just as buggy. Just downloaded and can’t even see my feed.
Please stop supporting this dev!!!!
PLEASE READ The developer, Shihab, has launched and subsequently dropped support for two premium Twitter apps. He promised not to leave us (the paying customers) out to dry on Aviary 2 after the Aviary 1 debacle and…he left us out to dry again. Do not, do not, do not give him your money, he is a scam artist. I cannot believe I trusted him. Please stop supporting this developer and letting him take your money.

I hope Apple does something about this scammer
This guy is unbelievable
All his apps I bought for iOS and macOS stoped working after less than two years! & now this new App as well as his new Mac app don’t work anymore as well after less than two months of their release!
I bought a lifetime subscription for both!
The guy is a shameless thief

Can’t Even Login!
I can’t even login to Twitter on my iPad….useless.
Horrible
This app is awful, the developer is awful and is a scammer.
App has way many bugs
This app is full of bugs and doesn’t give a smooth experience. Untrustworthy developer who is known for his misdeeds.
What did I pay for?
So I’ve been trying this out for a few weeks. It had banner advertisement that said the paid version had more App icons. It didn’t. It said it had more widgets. It didn’t. It said it had more customization, and options in general….it didn’t. I want to love this app, but it just doesn’t seem finished. If it changes after the big update I will change this rating accordingly, as it really is so close to being awesome

lol
how does the dev say this be the best twitter client
The best Twitter client
Aviary is the best Twitter client out there. The developer is updating the app constantly and making it better each time and with each update adding amazing new features. It’s just amazing!!
Do Not Support This Kind of Developer
This developer has always been making and making and making and making so many apps and most of them are unpolished and then he abandons them.
I don’t know if he sold the other apps or just changed the name, because the new name is under Poetic Byte. Kinda like just giving up.
Can’t believe Apple features this disgusting thief. Just look at his Product Hunt for promoting Aviary 2. You will see what I mean here.
I have used his apps before and paid for them and then this son of thief just abandons them later.
This guy’s name also feels like scammer, “Shihab Mehboob”. Somebody should write an article about this guy right now because users need to be aware of what kind of devs we should supporting and promoting.

An undercooked app
This app has tremendous potential, it has a very nice user interface, but it is written with bugs and just doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel like it’s a finished product. It’s kind of like putting a frozen burrito in the microwave and not cooking it for the right amount of time. All you end up with is a not so tasty burrito that’s still cold in the middle. I think this author needs to take the time to cross every T, and dot every i, and make sure every nook and cranny of their app is ready for prime time. There is an old saying “haste makes waste.“

Rate limited makes it useless
Every day I open this app hoping to use it. Instead I get the red bubble telling me it is rate limited, then the pop-up that makes an excuse for it. It is basically unusable and I regret paying for the app.
Cannot reply to tweets.
The app has a nice interface. Unfortunately, my keyboard does not appear when I reply to tweets. I have reached out to the developers as shown on the app but no response.
The ole’ bait-and-switch
As others have pointed out, the original Aviary app was a one-time ~$5 purchase and was supported for less than 2 years before being ditched for Aviary 2. This makes me weary of supporting any developers that switch to a subscription model and offer no sort of accommodations to those who previously purchased the app. Upon trying Aviary 2, there were actually some features missing compared with the first Aviary app and others that felt gimmicky and not particularly useful (e.g. AR features).
The other qualm I have with switches to subscriptions is the price increase. This app is now ~$15 per year, which is 3x more than the original one-time purchase. I understand needing to switch to subscription, but then why not make ir a cheaper price such as $5/year? This app just doesn’t inspire confidence and its longevity is questionable.

No longer trusting the dev.
Have never given 1 star before, but purchased his Aviary (1) app last year. After purchasing it, he was very responsive to questions/issues I had. Now the app is gone from the app store, so reached out to him twice about options for Aviary (1) owners. NO RESPONSE. I will no longer buy any apps of his as you cannot trust that he won't abandom them. Very disappointing on many levels.

Good but very buggy
Looks great, does not perform as so. As of now can’t even follow new users, the option has suddenly disappeared, trial is almost up was going to go for a year subscription but will hold off till the bugs are sorted.
Update: Developer has fixed almost all bugs and has added many new features. Still Local News shows middle eastern news when I live in Chicago so yeah…

Dev’s original Aviary app lasted less than 2yrs at $4.99. How long will this one last?
Actions speak louder than words. This developer had the original Aviary in the store for only 1-2 years before erasing all traces of it, release a separate new version of Aviary now called Aviary 2, increase the base cost by leaps and bounds, and justify it all by saying it was recreated from the ground up so it’s essentially a whole new app. After the low star reviews came in the Dev asked for better reviews to counter the lower reviews rather than listening all feedback and only taking into account feedback he favors. Here’s a shortlist of key points... - The Dev’s very own Aviary Twitter account says its first version (now gone) launched 9/16/20 in the App Store. That’s just shy of two years. - From what I can find the price for the full original app, no subscription, was $4.99 with the highest optional in-app “Immense Tip” being $29.99. If you use $4.99 as the starting price the new $49.99 is nearly a ten fold increase for the full app. If you use the $29.99 it’s about a 67% increase for the full app. Again, after just under 2 years. This is as much about integrity as it is recurring costs for consumers. Will this developer create a new app of the same app every 1-2 years and expect people to pay $50 anew every time? Yes, there's a cheaper subscription option, but I'm not comparing that. I understand the Dev feels justified because of all their work and it very well may be a whole new app to justify a bit of a price increase, but from a consumer's stand point the whole timeline of events and the increased costs involved comes across as extremely untrustworthy. Not to mention the subscription test run which leaves a bad taste in many mouths. I can’t speak for others, but I’ve been victim to patterns like this before after giving different Dev’s benefit of the doubt and I personally deeply regret my naivety. I’m personally hesitant to do that again.

Can barely login
Bottom sheet asking to subscribe to do basic FREE functions is incredibly I
Fresh take on Twitter
I love the interface and I’m excited to see where this goes.
Nice Approach
Well worth $15 to see where this goes in the next year. Definately some nice filters and user affordances.
