### 5/5 — Eddy

*2014-03-17, version 1.1*

Superb design and great replacement for trickle (rip). Well done to the developer. A must have.

### 5/5 — Eddy of twitter

*2014-02-26*

I like this app

### 5/5 — Great for your docs!

*2014-02-08, version 1.1*

I put on my iPod dock at work and having my twitter stream scrolling through all day. I've used several apps like this, but this is by far the best. I've also interacted with the developer via twitter and they're responsive to suggestions for app improvement. A+

### 5/5 — Must have twitter client! Unique.

*2014-01-30*

A great way to consume tweets, very good functionality.

### 5/5 — Interesting potential

*2013-09-26*

I like the clean look of the app.  I think I would enjoy using it while watching a football game and seeing reactions to the game.  A few ideas:
- auto refresh the timeline so new tweets keep coming in
- increase the time tweets are on screen, they disappear too quickly to read sometimes
- offer a pause button
- hash tag discovery would be nice but a list of my recently used ones would be helpful enough

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Brilliant (but has now stopped working)

*2023-09-10, version 2.0*

Trickle was great, but this is better. Good job.

### 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

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2014-02-21*

I have twitter but not using the iphone one. I use a 3rd party app, so this app wint work :(

### 2/5 — No iOS 11 Support?

*2017-09-20*

Love the app but now it won’t work. Please update it so it doesn’t need the now defunct Twitter credentials integration from iOS.

### 3/5 — Almost Perfect

*2014-04-26*

Eddy has been a good Trickle replacement but I wish there were a way to customize the size of the images when they zoom in. On both iPhone 5 and iPad mini the pictures zoom in so close that you can't really see anything.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Unfinished.

*2014-03-17, version 1.1*

It seems like a great start, it's immediately better than Ticker as Eddy will stop at the latest tweets, but overall it feels unfinished. 

The clever feature here is the auto-zoom in and out of inline pictures. A good innovation from other apps in this class.

The colour theme needs to be an option, especially just a standard white on black. Currently the background changes from what I can tell, depending on the tweeter's twitter profile colour. The impression here is tacky.

The UI, while easy to use, is just clunky and cluttered for what I feel should be a slideshow of tweets. If the UI could be hidden while not being used, it would be 100% improved.

I look forward to a finished product, these two improvements and I would gladly pay a few dollars for this.

### 4/5 — Perfect for reading twitter on the go

*2014-01-17*

Perfect for reading twitter on the go. Great app, very clean design. Stable and fast. Can be improved by better handling of links (esp. twitter handles, link saving services).

### 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?

### 5/5 — I loved this app. I hope it comes back.

*2018-01-11*

If not.. Oh well. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great Tweetdeck-ish mobile app

*2016-09-08*

This is the closest thing to Tweetdeck I've found for the iPhone (thanks to appapp.io). Realtime display of your main Twitter feed or a search. I love how it shows just one tweet at a time. Seems easier to digest the information that way. Excellent for a free app. I use it to check Twitter hands-free while working on my art, cooking or doing dishes.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-03-17*

This nice looking app allows you to set up your iPad while you work and it automatically scrolls through your Twitter feed and even zooms in on pictures. You can click on links in the tweets. Very usable. Makes Twitter a banner scroll for your interests that you can place anywhere in site and enjoy. I would like ongoing support. Last update in 2014. Hopefully developer will maintain it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-12-19, version 1.2*

I have this app on my main screen of my iPad. If you are addicted to Twitter like me, you must download this app :)

### 5/5 — As I needed it to be

*2014-05-02, version 1.1*

Absolutely brilliant! After trying two other apps that weren't good at all, I stumbled upon this one. Well done!

### 5/5 — Great App, Better Than Trickle Was

*2014-05-01*

One suggestion, auto hide the screen icons.
