Tweetbot 2.0 Hits the App Store (Alongside Tweetbot for iPad!)

Tweetbot 2.0 Hits the App Store (Alongside Tweetbot for iPad!)

Tapbots has released a major update for Tweetbot ($2.99, App Store link), their popular iPhone Twitter app, bringing a new look for Timeline and direct messages, a revamped “new tweets” bar, Readability support, and more. The developer has also officially released Tweetbot for iPad ($2.99, App Store link)!

Tweetbot really is a gorgeous Twitter client, and has become the app of choice for many since Twitter released version 4.0 of their own iOS app, which many felt made too many sacrifices in the name of simplicity.

What’s New in Version 2.0

– Updated timeline view
– Image thumbnails in timeline
– Links now colored and single-tappable
– “Retweeted by” bar now integrated and tappable
– Cell colors adjusted for better contrast
– New direct message view.
– Redesigned “New Tweets” bar (Can be dismissed by tap and configured in Settings > Display)
– Timed auto-refresh (timeline, mentions, and DM’s will refresh every 5 minutes)
– Readability added as mobilizer service
– Much improved tweet replies view
– Links in user’s bio now tappable
– “Huge” font size option in Settings > Display
– Improved scrolling performance

Tweetbot 2.0 is available now as a free update, or as a $2.99 download through the App Store ($2.99, App Store link). If you haven’t tried Tweetbot yet, I highly recommend it – it could very well become your new favorite Twitter app!

*Update Tapbot also officially released Tweetbot for iPad – a fantastic Twitter experience on the big(ger) screen!
