### 4/5 — 改善要望

*2020-08-23*

これさえ治れば完璧なアプリです。

・文字サイズが小さいので変更機能の実装。
・設定を開いて閉じるとリストがリロードされてしまうのでされないように。
・リストをリロードすると一番上に飛んでしまうので、表示している部分で維持。
・アプリを再起動するとリストが更新されてしまうので、これも表示している部分で維持。
・Twitterを開きますか？の選択でキャンセルを押してもTwitterを開いてしまう不具合の修正。
・問い合わせフォームの実装。(app storeのレビュー欄は反映に時間がかかるようです)

個人的にRT非表示が大変助かっております。

### 5/5 — ダークモードがあれば完璧

*2019-11-29*

主な目的がリストの巡回・閲覧なので，シンプルでみやすいBunchoを気に入っています．暗いところで見る機会が多いのでダークモードが実装されると嬉しいです．

### 4/5 — あと一歩！

*2019-11-07*

・ツイートの時間表示を1hとかではなく何時何分で表示したい
・引用RTをできるようにしてほしい

### 3/5 — アイコン以外にも文鳥がいればいいな

*2019-03-15*

うちの文鳥が、このアイコンを見るとクチバシでコンコンとつつきます。かわいいです。使い勝手は普通です笑

### 4/5 — とてもシンプル

*2019-01-30*

シンプルで良い感じです。対応していない機能もありますが必要な時は公式アプリに移動してくれるので困りません。
あえて欠点を挙げるなら…返信を追う時に１ツイートづつしか見られないところでしょうか…それ以外は概ね良い感じです。

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2019-01-28*

とてもスッキリしていて使いやすくて気に入っています。
背景色が白だと目に厳しいので、ダークモードに対応していただけるととっても嬉しいです。

### 4/5 — 英語の自動翻訳かあったら...

*2018-12-27*

良い情報をすぐに発信できるから超便利！！

ただ、海外の情報は英語のままだから...

本家のTwitterみたいに「ツイート翻訳」機能があったら、もう最高過ぎるのに...

### 3/5 — 見やすいけど

*2018-12-12*

ツイート内容のコピーができないのと、新規ツイートの更新をリスト毎にしないといけないのがイマイチです

### 3/5 — 最後に読んだ位置からの読み込み

*2018-08-23*

この機能に惹かれて使い始めましたが、ある程度時間が空いた後の読み込みは最新のものから表示されます。それ以外は動作も軽く、余計な広告も表示されず、とても使い勝手が良いのですが。

### 4/5 — 使いやすい！

*2018-06-14*

janetterを使用していたが、不具合が多くBunchoに乗り換えたが、とても使いやすい。基本的には満足だが、さらなる改善・改修を期待したいので☆は4つで。
以下、改善・追加機能の要望。

・文字のサイズを変更できるようにしてほしい
・BunchoがTwitterを開こうしていますの画面でキャンセルを押しても、Twitterアプリに問答無用で飛んでしまう
・リツイートした人のアカウント名だけではなく、アイコンも表示されるようにしてほしい。（もしくはon.offで切り替えられるように）
