Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Good as any other

As far as I can tell, this works as well as the other Twitter Apps, if not better, and when factor in the price of $0, it's hard to beat. I like the desktop version, so I thought I'd try the iPhone version.


Best Twitter App

I've tried a few other twitter apps and this is the best I've used. It's simple to use, has custom controls that make it look great and function better than most apps out there.


Best Yet

So many Twitter Apps out there but what I like about Tweetdeck is is mirrors my desktop and allows me to create "groups" so that I can take full advantage of my social networking experience. To me the key in social networking is to build relationships - not just do "tweet updates" - by having groups I can zero in on those who are most interesting and even better yet those relationships that provide a win-win in business. Great job TweetDeck!


Works much like desktop app

I'm very happy with how TweetDeck works. The one feature missing from the desktop version is to clear read tweets from other columns, so I do have to scroll past treats I've already read for groups in my deck. And except for an occasional crash, it works well.


Great app!

This is the Twitter app I prefer to use. i've tried Twitterific and Tweetie and this is the app that worked the best!


Flexible and Good looking

Great looking app. Being able to use multiple twitter accounts and 'flick' back and forth across the columns that I would have on my Macbook are fantastic. I used to be a twitteriffic fan but Tweetdeck has them all beat I think.
