Tapping and holding the profile picture in the top left will prompt you to change accounts, if you have more than one configured. In addition, the app will detect if your device has the Instapaper or Pocket apps installed, and provide options for bookmarking URLs to those services.Ĭompose yourself: Writing a tweet offers autocomplete of usernames, and the ability to quickly add images. You can choose a Sync Service to keep your Twitter timeline in the same position across devices: Twitterrific offers support for both iCloud, which allows syncing between the iPhone and iPad versions of the app, and Tweet Marker, which supports syncing across multiple clients, including Twitterrific for Mac.

In a nice touch, there’s an option elsewhere in the app’s settings to have Twitterrific automatically shift from dark to light themes based on time of the day.ĭespite that customization, you won’t find a laundry list of services for Twitterrific to interact with for uploading images and videos. There’s also a brightness slider, independent from iOS’s own, and a choice between dark and light themes. From the sidebar, tap on the change font size button (Aa) to summon a window with a number of display options, including changing the font face throughout the app (by default it’s tried-and-true Helvetica, but four other options are also available), adjusting font size up and down, choosing from small or large avatar icons, and adjusting the spacing between lines of text.

Tweets you haven’t read yet have their timestamps in purple, instead of gray. The palette in general is fairly monochromatic, with the rare exception of highlight colors that really draw attention. Indicators on the mentions and messages tabs are small colored triangles. Per-tweet controls like reply, retweet, and favorite don’t appear until you tap on a tweet. The same low-key enthusiasm pervades all of Twitterrific 5. (Well, except perhaps the pull-to-refresh animation that features the iconic Twitter bird hatching from an egg, but there’s something too hypnotic about it to just dismiss it.) And despite those animations, the app is fast and responsive, with tweets loading and scrolling quickly.

The Iconfactory’s used animations for effect here, with dialog boxes flying in from the edge of the screen, but they’re not overwhelming or unnecessarily flashy. On the iPad, the sidebar can be pinned permanently to the left hand side if you feel lost without it. There’s also quick access to lists from the sidebar, and a simple search that offers you the ability to look for tweets or a particular user. Symmetrical round buttons on the left and right allow you to view a sidebar and compose a tweet, respectively. Worth a thousand words: Twitterrific 5 shows you a scrollable list of avatar thumbnails when you view a user’s followers or the people they’re following.Ĭontent is front and center in the new design, which features large tabs at the top for Tweets, Mentions, Messages, and Favorites on the iPad on the iPhone, those labels are condensed into icons, and Favorites is shunted into the sidebar.
