If you want free then you could try luck with Falcon Pro 2, but if that's too cumbersome then you could try with Plume (whose design I don't really like).
Unfortunately due to forceful restrictions in Twitter's API (search: "token limits"), it's difficult for developers to mantain their apps. Which means that most good Twitter apps are behind a paywall.
FalconPro. Simple, lightweight, and beautiful. No ads. There just aren't any more tokens for it, so you have to go through a kind of weird (but free) process to get it. It is not on the play store, but here http://getfalcon.pro/. This is what it looks like.
You may have to go through a few hoops to get it working, though.
The problem with good Twitter clients is that they're only allowed 100,000 users. Falcon Pro adds a way around this by letting you register it as your own client.
I've seen a lot of people on the sub recommend Falcon Pro as the best twitter app ever. I haven't used the official Twitter app and I barely use Falcon but it does what I need it to do. You should at least try it out.
There's a short process you have to do to get it to work because Twitter (from my understanding) was cracking down on third party apps. Just Google how to get Falcon Pro to work and you'll find it.
I have not personally owned a Facebook account for almost a year now. Kind of feel glad i don't use their service anymore.
For Facebook applications, a simple search query of 'Facebook' will prompt you to many varieties of applications. With Facebook being a huge social media website, you may find some junk searches. One application that I managed to find is called <strong><em>Fast For Facebook</em></strong> and it allows you to manage your Facebook account. There's probably numerous applications that offer the same type of experience.
For Twitter applications, there is a few varities of those too. The problem is that there is not many because of the Twitter API. Only authorized people are allowed to have unlimited amounts of tokens. I believe it is called something like POST oauth2, but I may be wrong. I beleive there is ways of gettign around this by using XPosed Framework, but someone will have to correct me on that too. Back to the topic, one Twitter alternate application that comes to my mind is <strong><em>Falcon Pro</em></strong> which is beautiful.
Completely agree! I didn't know Falcon Pro was removed because I kept restoring from a backup after I screwed something up when playing with my phone. When Kitkat came out I decided to start over fresh. Turns out it's been removed from the play store for quite a while.
To see retweets and other Twitter interactions on the newest Falcon Pro build just swipe to see the left side navigation (with Profile, Settings, etc.) and click on Stats. Voilà.
I think Falcon Pro does this (note: this is not Falcon 3 which is found on the playstore, but have the same dev)
Heres a link from where you can download it : http://getfalcon.pro/
Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you can see the link to a download page!
You're correct. You can Falcon Pro there but bear mind you will need to set up access through Twitter Dev.
Most of the decent Twitter application has Filter. I personally use Falcon Pro for twitter and filter a ton of stuffs (eg. annoying tweets from a few idiots about their daily follow/unfollow count)
Also, Carbon has Filter too. And possibly a lot of other clients.
Falcon: http://getfalcon.pro/ (It has a tricky way to login but it's a great client) Linkme: Carbon For Twitter
Try Falcon pro
and here is how to bypass token limits.
Linkme: Flyne.
Requires an in app purchase to setup your own custom Twitter feed, however.
It's made by the same dev as Falcon Pro.
I've actually really come to love Fleksy for my Android keyboards...it has a bit of a learning curve but once you've got it you'll find all other keyboards frustrating.
The best multiple account email I've found is CloudMagic. Best Reddit app, Reddit Sync.
Press is my Reader app of choice.
Falcon Pro is the best Twitter app you'll ever find, though it requires installation from an external site and all of it's tokens have been used up so you have to do a bit of fiddling to make it work ( here's the instructions https://plus.google.com/117310335847577405511/posts/Zb3w9ZVznyZ and here's the app http://getfalcon.pro/) but it's so worth it.
Oh and Zite, which is my favourite topic based news app.
