This is absolutely worth getting for mac. I'm getting far fewer crashes than the official twitter client, a much nicer look, smoother interactions, and more information faster.
The killer feature for me is the ability to see the conversation around and replies to one tweet - this is extremely useful if you see one tweet between two people you follow but want to know the context around it, or if you want to see how other people have replied to a particular tweet.
- stevenleeg 14y agoI'm particularly excited for iCloud syncing when it comes out on the app store. It's really nice to have my last read tweet synced across my iPhone, iPad, and soon to be Mac.
- lloeki 14y agoFWIW there's an entry in the prefs regarding syncing, which allows one to use Tweet Marker. Didn't know about that service before.
- smackfu 14y agoYou really get multiple crashes in a day with the official twitter client???
- ComputerGuru 14y agoI (note: I'm not the gp) definitely do. Any time I have an unread notification, if I open up the official Twitter app and try to switch to that tab/page, it'll crash. It'll do so maybe 3 or 4 times in a row, before letting me see that page and mark that tweet as read. It's pretty ridiculous since this has been happening for months on end now, and it didn't use to happen with the initial release. Twitter's OS X dev department just plain sucks - which is especially trying given that ML integrates Twitter into the OS. They need to step their game up ASAP - and definitely allow 3rd party devs and apps into the twitter ecosystem, because theirs just are simply not up to scratch.
- tsieling 14y agoMultiple per week for me. Often under such taxing conditions as 'posting a tweet' or 'clicking an image.' I really drive these apps too hard ;)
- masukomi 14y agonot to suggest the official twitter client is actually good, but you've been able to see the thread for quite a while now. Just double-click on one of the posts in the thread. It's not perfect, but it works most of the time.
- conradev 14y agoOnly in one direction, though, into the past. Tweetbot allows you to see in both directions by selecting a tweet in the middle of a conversation.
- tsieling 14y agoI have to agree. The Tweetbot alpha is more enjoyable than Twitter's stalled adaptation of Tweetie.
