Updated Twitter client gets some needed improvements

When I first reviewed SimplyTweet, it fared poorly in comparison to other Twitter app behemoths like Twitterrific ()and Tweetie (). Now that MotionObj’s $5 app and its free lite counterpart have reached a 2.0 milestone, I gave it a second chance.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

It just gets better and better...

I've had SimplyTweet since its release. It started out rough, very basic, not many features. The dev updates just about every other week with HUGE new features...not just bug fixes. I have tried all the other big twitter clients too. None of them quite match up to the features of Simply Tweet, nor the amount of support the dev provides for the app. This is truly a hidden gem of the app store. Be sure to try the lite version first! It doesn't have ads or any big limitations! (limitations are things like only 1 account, but you can have more than 1 in the full version)
