## What is Twilst?

Twitter Lists and Searches at a single tap. Tag and save important Tweets.
Follow @twilst on Twitter for the latest updates and support!

Twilst is a lightweight Twitter client focused on reading and managing your Twitter Lists and Saved Searches, with an additional twist - any tweet can be tagged and saved on your device for later reference!

Twilst is designed solely as a tool for finding and tagging your interests on Twitter, based around your Lists and Searches. Most of the social networking aspect has been intentionally left out, as there are a lot of apps that already do good job at that.

• No Home Timeline
• No Direct Messaging
• No Mention notifications

So what is Twilst good at?

• Lists and Saved Searches
Both are first-class citizens in Twilst. Access and manage them with ease.

• Unlimited Local Tagging
Favorites and online read later services can be nice for bookmarking interesting tweets, but they can get cluttered pretty fast. Tags allow for easy management and Twilst saves your tagged Tweets locally for instant access. Twilst Tags are also private, unlike favorites.

• Multiple Accounts
No signing out!

• Twitter Search
Twitter Searches can be initiated anywhere from the top left search button.

• Trends
View multiple Trends at once with the built-in Trend manager.

And some more tidbits like...

• Including yourself in your own list 
• Tweet and User filtering
• Full landscape orientation support
• Swipe to navigate back and forward between views
• Long press back button to pop to Home

## Key features

- Twitter Lists management
- Saved Searches
- Local tweet tagging
- Multiple account support
- Twitter search functionality
- Trend manager

### 2/5 — Needs 280char update

*2018-09-20, version 1.2.15*

Great concept but it’s not usable if I have to click through to read full tweets. Please update!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2018-02-17, version 1.2.15*

App was working fine but now crashes within five seconds of opening the lists.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2016-09-20, version 1.2.12*

I have been unable to use the app to view my lists. 

I'm receiving a network error, saying the operation couldn't be completed. The error is (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.) 

I have been a fan of the app. Might the error have to do with my iPhone's upgrade to iOS 10?

### 5/5 — 1st impression, perfect

*2015-03-25, version 1.2.9*

I do not tweet much, but I follow a whole slew of news channels, special interest groups, and personalities. I use lists for filtering, to see what is going on in each area.   I have had trouble with other apps that have more functionality for multiple accounts and such.  All I want is something simple to navigate my lists quickly. This is it!  Thank you!

### 4/5 — Near-perfect, but could use more features!

*2014-12-04, version 1.2.6*

This app is the best for managing Twitter lists. However, some key features could improve the user experience in a big way. For instance, a "night theme" could help improve readability. 

Also, it could use the ability to manage notifications in its own separate tab. Having to go back/forth between this & the Twitter app can be a bit tiresome after a while. Also, being able to edit the user profile page could be useful as well.

Otherwise, this app is great! Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2014-07-08, version 1.2.6*

I like this list-centric app. It makes following lists and conversations easier than any other iPhone app I've tried.

### 4/5 — Best tweet list reader

*2014-05-23, version 1.2.6*

I use twilst more frequently than any other app.
Very user-friendly, easy to read and manage lists.
Please don't give up improving this app. There are several functions I consider as important: caches, list-order managing, fav pages, etc.
I have recommended twilst to my friends.

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2013-12-10, version 1.2.5*

This app did not work for me. I granted permission to use my twitter accounts and all it did was show a page telling me to add my twitter accounts in settings. I loved the simplicity in the description and I hope the developer puts in a fix.

### 1/5 — It needs help.

*2013-07-23, version 1.1*

This app is basically kind of sucky.  👎

### 4/5 — I like it :-)

*2013-07-17, version 1.1*

This app is great for managing your lists  :-) I can add people to my lists easily.
