When I click on pictures most of them go to a black screen. I can only full screen a small fraction of pictures for some reason, but every video seems to full screen just fine. I’m not sure if it’s a resolution issue or the aspect ratios that are used. If I could full screen every picture then this would be 5 stars in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-01-31, version 2.0.7* I really do like this app. Very full featured. I got a specific keyboard to use with this app but that didn’t work out well. Surprised Twitter hasn’t shut this app down yet, unlike most third party apps. Hope they can keep this one going. ### 2/5 — DMs don’t work *2022-10-16, version 2.0.7* No judgment on the quality of the app for those it works for, but I subscribed two years ago and the DM functionality has never once worked right. On my old Apple Watch it only ever displayed two DMs in my history, and on the new one it claims there are none and endlessly loads. Being able to read and write DMs on my watch is basically the only reason I paid for the app, so this is disappointing. ### 3/5 — Why can’t I see my messages *2022-07-25, version 2.0.7* I bought the 3.99 version because I wanted to be able to view my twitter messages but when I open the app it says I don’t even have any but I know that I do. What gives? I’m feeling mislead because if the feature isn’t working why advertise it? ### 4/5 — good but… *2021-12-25, version 2.0.6* It’s a pretty good app, i love seeing tweets from my wrist, it’s just the app crashes and i can only see one reply under tweets which can’t be true because a popular tweet should have more than 1 reply, once the crashing and replies are fixed, it will be 5 stars 😊💗 ### 1/5 — A bug? *2021-08-02, version 2.0.6* I switched accounts, and for some reason the app started acting weird after that- I am guessing it's because of the account that i'm using; it only follows one person. The app is acting weird because the it shows only three tweets out of so many available, and when I tap "Load more" it doesn't do anything. After a few time of doing that, it then says something like " oops, you have done too many of that" over and over again. I actually like the app to the extent that I have bought all the available buyable extras. I was hoping that by this rating somehow I reach to the developer. ### 5/5 — Great app for a platform I’m no longer using. *2021-01-18, version 2.0.6* If you’re staying on Twitter, and you have an iPhone and Apple Watch, then by all means this is a must have. Wil is a great developer- I’m amazed that he started turning out this kind of quality when he was in high school. (The most I ever managed was that hangman program for my Pascal class...) I, for one, have left Twitter because I disagree with their arbitrary and capricious behavior. It was fun while it lasted. But hopefully Wil will add to his repertoire of apps in the future. ### 5/5 — Better than expected *2021-01-10, version 2.0.5* I thought this would be a app like Twitter crammed into a watch app but it’s very clean and very fast and I’m on a Series 3! I love how cheap chirp pro is and NO SUBSCRIPTION I really don’t want a subscription for Twitter but one small payment is so nice! This app is amazing simple and fast! Highly reckoned for people who use Twitter and can use it secretly 🤫 wherever ### 5/5 — Short and Sweet *2021-01-10, version 2.0.5* Enhances the entire Twitter experience on Apple Watch. You can watch Twitter linked videos and a text-version of any website, right on the watch and directly through the watch app. Sometimes your somewhere and you don’t want to pull your phone out, but you want to get your Twitter fix, this app does it perfectly. Definitely 5-stars! ### 5/5 — Perfect for convenience! *2020-10-03, version 2.0.5* Love how I can tweet from my Apple Watch. This developer is a genius and it doesn’t go unnoticed 👌🏼 I actually stumbled across this app cuz he tweeted a friend and I after we told Apple to make a Twitter app for the watch haha so props to your grind and intelligence! 10/10 for the app. And don’t complain about paying for the pro version it’s a 1 time payment and you get a choice of how much you wanna pay. ## Frequently asked questions about Chirp for Twitter ### What can I do with Chirp for Twitter?
