A simple app to organize your Twitter likes (favs). We had been troubled with organizing our likes on Twitter. Because - There were no ways to find out specific tweets from your Twitter likes. - There were no good ways to organize your Twitter likes. To solve the problem, this app was created. With this app, you can - tag your likes, - archive your likes to make them disappear from your likes list without unliking them if, for example, you liked them just for notifying the tweeters that you had read them, - list your likes by tweeter, - list your likes by your Twitter List, - search the full text of your likes. Twlikes tries to sort your likes in the order of the date they were liked, if the liked dates are after the twlikes installation date. It's not perfect, but it works. =============================== In-App Purchase You need to purchase a lifetime plan or to register a monthly or yearly subscription below to use the twlikes app. Privacy Policy http://kentaroimai.com/products/twlikes/privacy-policy/ Terms of Service http://kentaroimai.com/products/twlikes/terms/ =============================== Twlikes lifetime plan Current lifetime plan is: Lifetime Plan $9.49 Price may vary from location to location.
