Of course, Tweetbot is in Alpha, so it’s not without its problems. It’s also nice to see somebody actually taking the time to develop a native client, rather than lazily adopting a cross-platform platform like Adobe Air. …well… I’m sure someone will find a use for that… …as is its search function, which has the option to search people and trends according to a nicely-designed category-view.Īnd the flexibility to separate individual columns to different parts of the screen is… The ability to side-swipe to see conversations as we’ve seen in iOS is handy… It also adds in a few significant improvements.
