Twitter apps abound in App Store, but which are the best?
“It is obvious to me that within 6 months there will only be two kinds of apps for the iPhone: Twitter clients and novelty fart apps.” So wrote Scott McNulty on Twitter, and it’s not hard to see why. Twitter apps are to the iPhone today what new AfterDark screensavers were to the Mac in the early ’90s: It’s impossible to keep track of them all, and there’s a considerable range in quality. I spent some time composing and reading 140-character missives with five popular Twitter apps. Here’s how they stack up.

Wonderful
The only Twitter app I will use. It's fast, easy, and siple
Still the best...
Tried all the Twitter apps from the very beginning, and Tweetie is by far the best one out there. Simple, fast, easy to use, and doesn't crash. Groups would be a nice feature to have, but can't complain.

Tweetie Review by Antneyyy
I really needed a good twitter client for my Iphone. All the free ones and paid ones I've used were horrible. I came across Tweetie. I fell in love with it the minute I purchased it. It was everything I wanted in a twitter client. I am happy to share my review with you.Price: $2.99What is this app? This a full twitter client for Iphone and Ipod Touch.How is the User Interface? The user interface is really good. It clearly shows all your recent updates. Twitter users display pictures, are on the left of each tweet. You can also customize how your updates look in Settings. Overall I think they did a good job on the user interface. The user interface is too good to explain in words. You have to see it yourself!Have you experienced any bugs? From this point I have not experienced any bugs. No crashes at all. What is the app broken down into? There are 5 tabs that make the whole app. 1 ."Tweets" This shows your recent tweets. You can scroll down all you tweets. Even ones that are days old.2. "Replies" This shows people who have responded to your tweets.3. "Messages" Displays private messages you received. You can reply to them as well. 4. "Favorites" You can save specific tweets and view them later. They are displayed in Favorites.5. "More" displays My Profile, Go To User, Nearby, Trends, Search.My Profile shows you your profile.Go To User lets you go to a specific user you have subscribed to.Nearby uses your current location and searches people near you who have Twitter.Trends shows tweet trends among users.Search lets you search for specific tweets.Is this app hard to use?This is the easiest twitter client app I've used. You will learn how to use it within the first 20 minutes you purchase it. It's that simply. That's why I love this app.Is it worth the $2.99?
Very Good
I've used several Twitter apps, and this one is the best. Someone asked why they should PAY for a Twitter app when there are so many free ones - well, my answer is that you get what you pay for. A free app might get the job done, but Tweetie is hands down worth the money.
One of the best yet
Tweetie blew me out of the water when I was looking for a twitter client for the iPhone. This app is so good it has earned the honor of being the first app on the first screen of my iPhone.The ability to do almost everything you can do on the twitter website from the palm of your hand makes twitter a much more valuable tool to me than opening up a web browser. With Tweetie you can do all the basics such as post new tweets with integrated pics and geo-location links, send and receive mentions and direct messages, and add or remove people from your list of those you follow. However you can also do much more, such as re-tweet posts, marks tweets as favorites, search the public twitter timeline to use Tweetie as a news search engine, look at trending topics, save your searches for later reference, browse friends, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends, etc., and all of this while looking (IMHO) better than some of the default apple iphone apps.Tweetie is very full featured, very easy to use, and by far the one twiter app worth paying for in the app store. Get it!
