### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-03-03, version 1.1.4*

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.

### 4/5 — Works great

*2022-10-21, version 1.1.4*

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.

### 5/5 — I don’t see widget on iPhone

*2022-05-03, version 1.1.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Pretty Nice, but could use Lists

*2022-02-23, version 1.1.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Didn’t work as advertised.

*2022-02-04, version 1.1.4*

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.

### 4/5 — Very neat idea!

*2022-02-01, version 1.1.4*

This is a very clever app for viewing twitter streams. Personally, I’m trying to limit my time on twitter for my own mental health BUT there are certain things that I do like to keep up on and this app allows me to do that. 

The ONLY thing (for me) that would make this a 5 star app is if we could view lists that we’ve curated or from other users. For example, I have a Baseball news list and it’s great for keeping up to date with various Baseball news sources and writers. Having the ability to view that list on a widget would be PERFECT!  I’m not sure if this is possible, due to API limitations, but if it is possible, that would be a welcome update!

### 1/5 — Can’t find widget even after paying

*2021-12-24, version 1.1.4*

No widget. Even rebooted my phone. 

Also canceled subscription immediately.

### 4/5 — It wouldn’t show the widget until I deleted and reinstalled the app

*2021-12-06, version 1.1.4*

It wouldn’t show the widget until I deleted and reinstalled the app, even though I had signed in the first time. Now that it’s working, I think I’ll like it! Seems pretty cool. But an onboarding bug like this will be sure to scare off a lot of users.

### 5/5 — great execution!

*2021-10-04, version 1.1.3*

love the tweetbot support, and love being able to follow a specific timeline or hashtag!

only request for the dev would be the option to display pictures, maybe one specific widget that is like a slideshow or something? 5 stars nonetheless … flawless👍

### 1/5 — App keeps signing out

*2021-09-16, version 1.1*

For a paid app, it’s pretty disappointing that it keeps signing me out of Twitter multiple times a day. Waste of my time and money. Doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do.
