Don’t bother

The last update for this app was over a year ago. It doesn’t work and any problems you have with it won’t be fixed.

Works great

Love it, fun to have - would be great if a tweet has a photo the photo would be in the widget like how the Reddit widget works. If that was a feature I probably would upgrade bc it would look prettier.

I don’t see widget on iPhone

Will change review if I can get it to work but currently I only got it to work on my iPad. But the widget doesn’t come up on my phone.

Update: deleted and reinstalled and now it works as advertised. I do suggest developers to give instructions for troubleshooting like this one for less confusion.

Pretty Nice, but could use Lists

Overall, this app works really well for what it sets out to do. The only thing that stops me from really using it though is the lack of ability to use Twitter lists for the widgets. If the app had this feature, it’d probably be a lot more useful to me, but until then, I probably won’t use it too often.

Didn’t work as advertised.

I tried using this on my iPhone and iPad, paying for premium services with instant updates, it didn’t work properly on either platform.

On the iPad the widget updated every five minutes at best. It also had difficulties finding certain people on Twitter to create a feed.

The iPhone widget was a little better with quicker updates, around 2-5 minutes, but would freeze for long periods of time. The issue of finding certain accounts was a little better, but still very difficult.

My last criticism of the widget is a small one that probably wouldn’t bother most people. I would have liked a larger widget for the iPad. Currently the largest widget takes up 3/4s of an iPhone screen and a very small portion of an iPad screen.
