Eddy animates through your twitter feed, one tweet at a time in a fullscreen display. That means you can read the latest tweets while keeping your hands free for cooking or coding or eating nachos while you watch the game. The default view is your home timeline (people you follow), but you can also view #hashtags and searches. ## Key features - Fullscreen animated tweet display - Hands-free reading - Home timeline view - Hashtag browsing - Search functionality ## Recent user reviews (10 of 25) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eddy-for-twitter/id643064401/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Brilliant (but has now stopped working) *2023-09-10, version 2.0* Trickle was great, but this is better. Good job. ### 4/5 — I want to give 5stars, but *2022-01-13, version 2.0* Simple problem for this old guy (70s) eye to brain speed is waning. Any chance you could build in a speed control for the rate the pages are turned….? Cheers, John ### 4/5 — Nice *2020-03-13* This app is pretty handy for keeping any eye on your Twitter feed while you’re focusing on something else. One feature that would make it even better would be a way to slow it down for longer tweets. Sometimes it goes to the next tweet before I can finish reading the current one. ### 4/5 — Very useful, but... *2019-10-06* Often I find some tweets are too wordy to read in their entirety before the next tweet appears. I know I can drag back any tweet to finish reading it, but being able to adjust the standard screen time allotted to each tweet would make things more enjoyable. Thanks for a great app. ### 5/5 — So Happy Eddy was updated!!! *2018-08-20* This is the BEST twitter slideshow app in the universe. I scroll it on a 55 inch TV in my office all day. It’s really cool. Now I’m guaranteed to never miss a thing. Other apps don’t come close to Eddy. Does exactly what I want. Gives each Tweet the screen time it deserves while blowing up each and every photos. ### 5/5 — Smart Idea! *2018-07-28* Absolutely love this app. Thank you for making it work with iOS11. **Developer response:** Hi! Eddy 2.0 now works in iOS 11. Sorry for the long wait. There are a bunch of things that need to be added back in still, but it does work. Thanks for leaving the review and nudging me to update 🙂 - Chris ### 5/5 — It’s back!!!! *2018-06-03, version 2.0* This was the only app I have ever mourned the loss of, I used this regularly to monitor twitter on the iPad as a second screen while on my mac. Now it is back and better than ever. Big thank you to Christopher, made my day. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-05-21* I love this app and have been disappointed it wasn't working in the current iOS. The only problem I have is that with the twitter character limit increased to 288, some tweets can’t be read in the time allowed. Will the developer add speed control? ### 1/5 — Faulty app *2018-03-31, version 1.2* Was a very good app. No longer works with the latest software- iOS 11.2.6 ### 5/5 — I loved this app. I hope it comes back. *2018-01-11* If not.. Oh well. Thanks! ## Frequently asked questions about Eddy for Twitter ### What is Eddy for Twitter?

Eddy is back! And now works on iOS 11. More features coming (back) soon. ### 1.2 — 2014-10-11 1.2 - bug fixes for iOS8 iPad ### 1.1 — 2014-02-07 “One Point One” or the “Portrait iPhone” release Welcome Trickle fans! In honor of a few of you finding Eddy, portrait mode is now supported for iPhone, so get out your docks! Thanks to @toddkirby for suggesting this get built sooner rather than later and to @thrsn (creator of Trickle) for spreading the word. Also, Eddy will now display advertisements occasionally (on iPad only, to start). The ads are from Apple’s iAd network, because lots of mobile ads are ugly and would detract from the otherwise clean experience, but iAds look terrific. (If you missed the 1.0 notes, Eddy now supports saved and recent searches. And crashes way less often.) ### 1.0 — 2014-01-16 “One Point Oh” or the “Everything Works (Better) Now” release This fixes two major issues. No more crashing on #über interesting hashtags or forgetting to let you know when you need to re-enter your twitter password in iOS settings (thanks @lordscarlet!). Also, Eddy remembers what you were last watching (even if it has been a while). In celebration of being able to follow public #hashtags without crashing whenever you see tweets in 中文 (#很好!), You can now watch searches you’ve saved on Twitter or recent searches from Eddy. You can also clear recent searches in case you don’t want your friends to know about your #puppy (or #jets) obsession. And finally (there’s more?!), you can now let people know what you’re watching by tapping the share icon in the top of the main menu. Sharing is caring, especially if you’re sharing #felfies*. *Farmer Selfies. <3 the internet. ### 0.10 — 2013-11-01 The most urgent addition is an error message if your Twitter password didn't travel with you to iOS7 (it was an annoying bug). Also, you can now save links for later using Pocket. ## Apps similar to Eddy for Twitter | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Downpour - Tumble Dumble](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/downpour-tumble-dumble/id1302408021) | 4.3 (4) | Free | Social Networking | | [Twidere X](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/twidere-x/id1530314034) | 4.3 (33) | Free | Social Networking | | [XBoost AI – Tweet Generator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/xboost-ai-tweet-generator/id6563145261) | 4.6 (84) | Free | Social Networking | | [BlackMagic.so for Twitter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blackmagicso-for-twitter/id1595323694) | 4.3 (12) | Free | Social Networking | | [RedditMedia](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/redditmedia/id6740688022) | — | Free | Social Networking | | [Reddirect for Reddit](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reddirect-for-reddit/id6478085041) | 3.9 (11) | Free | Social Networking | ## Related topics [eddy for twitter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/eddy-for-twitter) · [christopher twitter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/christopher-twitter) · [xtweet for twitter x](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/xtweet-for-twitter-x) · [eddy](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/eddy) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
