Notification support becoming a mainstay of mobile Twitter apps

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

A great 1 trick pony

This app does what it sets out to do and works perfectly. I had an issue (on the day Twitter was being hit with the DoS attack) and the developer emailed me back with answers within minutes. The only thing you can't currently do it change your account, or have multiple accounts, but I'm not fussed about this and it is something the developer says they are working on. I'd highly recommend this app, if you are in any need of wanting to catch tweets within a couple of minutes of them happening.
