Twitter for iPhone Review

I am using Twitter a lot and being able to use it on my phone is a must. I have used Twitter mobile website but using it through an application is much more convenient and quick to launch.

Twitter for iPhone is a free application to use Twitter on you iPhone. It has a very simple interface displaying new tweets, mentions and DMs in separate tabs at the bottom of the screen. There is a tab for search and trending topics, as well as a tab to navigate to your profile, lists, create a new list and account settings, all of these are displayed in a list format.

If you want to click on a link from a tweet you have to finger tap on the tweet, it will slide rightwards and then you can click on the link which will open in a new page. There is a "timeline" button on the top left hand side to get you back in the twitter live stream.

On the top right hand side is where you can tap to post a new message. This is what I find quite annoying and still haven't figured out how it works. Once you tap the little square to post your update you see some options to attach a photo, put a hash tag or geo tag your tweet. These options disappear in a second, replaced by your keyboard to type your message. I still have no idea how you can go back and attach a photo for example.

I think that Twitter for iPhone represents the real Twitter website in the best way. It uses the same colours and most of the actions function in a similar way. If you use Twitter a lot I would definitely recommend you having this application.
