The best Twitter app

I feel for the developers of this app. To be cut off completely from the API without any communication is unforgivable. This was my go to app for Twitter. The interface was intuitive and easy to navigate. The official Twitter app is crap and I’m not using it. This has been my last straw with Twitter. I’m closing my Twitter account after I pull my data. What a shame one man, Elon Musk, can destroy so much. In any regard, thanks to the folks at Tapbots for a great app that is now unusable through no fault of their own.

Thank you devs!

Tweetbot has easily been my most used app over the past decade. I bought the first iteration as it was released back in 2011 and have used it ever since. The app has been such a delight to use and we were fortunate to have software of such caliber. It’s truly terrible that the new Twitter team has decided to immediately revoke access to the API with no regard for developers or users. I will fondly remember using Tweetbot daily. Thank you so much Tapbots team!

The Best, and ONLY, Way Twitter Made Sense

I do not understand how anyone deals with the algorithmic timeline on Twitter’s website or official App. I have used Tweetbot for ages and to see it sunset’d in such a ham fisted and disrespectful way has put me off Twitter. The TapBots team had no warning from Twitter that this was going ti happen and then 5 days after the fact, we all got a nice Tweet from Twitter support declaring “these devs broke the rules lulz!” Inexcusable.

My experience using Mastodon thus far has been splendid, albeit sparse on content since not a ton of folks are there yet. Hopefully with time, we’ll have a great community there.

RIP Tweetbot. I’ll gladly fork over money for Ivory the first opportunity I get. Best of luck.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Thank you Tapbots for an amazing app. It’s a shame the service you worked so hard to support and evangelize has forsaken you in the most insulting and incompetent of ways. Your work was appreciated for years, and I happily paid my small portion to have the best experience on the bird site as possible.

Truly one of the all time greats of iPhone apps.

You will be missed. Godspeed.

Tweetbot makes Twitter better

Tweetbot is the only way I have used twitter for many many years. I have Tweetbot on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I would pay much more than the low annual subscription for it—it is that useful and valuable. Right now, Twitter has unethically shut down third-party app access, including Tweetbot. I’ve been forced to use Twitter’s ‘official’ app—thanks, I hate it. I hope Twitter will come to their senses and re-enable Tweetbot’s API access—but it seems unlikely, at least under current leadership. Until that changes, I am thrilled to be using the early access version of Ivory—the Mastodon client from the good people behind Tweetbot. Onward!
