What is Reddit's opinion of
Tweetbot?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
13 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
I appreciate that, but I really think they can live harmoniously. It's just a really big downer that I want to build this app for Reddit, but instead of being able to do that I'm spending a bunch of time having a back and forth with Reddit trying to figure out why I'm being singled out and what's wrong with my icon and okay with all the other ones that literally copy the logo.
I really just want to build the app. Twitter has a blue bird as their logo, and lets third party apps such as Tweetbot and Twitterrific use transformed birds as their logo. My app's name is an homage to the Apollo 11 astronauts, so I built the logo to be an astronaut. It has similar eyes to Snoo, but it's wearing a helmet, has a different color scheme, different antenna, no mouth, no ears, etc. Other than the eyes, I think it's sufficiently transformed that it shouldn't be confusing to users, while still maintaining the fact that it's a Reddit app.
I think it walks the line well and shouldn't be singled out, especially when other apps are given a pass for years.
> Q: Is Twitter shutting down 3rd Party apps soon?
> A: No. Twitter initially announced that they would be making streaming API changes that would affect 3rd party clients like Tweetbot. After much outcry, these changes have been indefinitely delayed. Even if these changes are eventually made we’ll be able to work around the majority of them. In the worst case scenario we won’t be able show notifications for Likes/Retweets and notifications for Tweets, Mentions, Quotes, DMs & Follows would be delayed for 1-2 minutes. You’ll still be able to read your timeline, mentions, DMs and post Tweets just like you do today.
I just prefer the interface, it gets rid of ads, now some things like polls aren't available but I've always used it since I hate twitter's app, the "while you were away" and ad nonsense. Their page lists things about it https://tapbots.com/tweetbot/ it does cost a little money.
I guess that's my point though, Twitter clients like Tweetbot and Twitterrific both use blue birds to make it clear they're Twitter clients, which I think is fair so long as they sufficiently distance themselves from the Twitter logo, which I think Apollo did a fair job of in this circumstance.
Twitter doesn't allow third-party apps to do things like polls or group DMs so I'm not sure what sort of "full features" you need, but I really like Tweetbot for managing multiple accounts.
I use Twitterrific (iOS) and I heard good things about Tweetbot (also iOS) and Talon (Android). But there are plenty of others, for phones and computers, that get rid of ads, promoted tweets and give you a chronological timeline (meaning it actually shows you every tweet of everyone you follow in chronological order, instead of only showing you some based on an algorithm).
If you know someone you like on twitter, it is possible to see who they follow. And go on from there!
The official client kind of sucks but on iPhone/iPad or Macintosh, I quite suggest TweetBot! That will make it all a lot easier to use. Costs a few bucks, but well worth it.
Well it should do. If it doesn't you can complain to the people who make your various apps.
I use the official Reddit app and Tweetbot on my iPad and it seems to pause and resume background audio correctly.
If you like slow updates, ads, and clickbait stick with the official app.
If you want a more refined, ad-free, experience of twitter get tweetbot: https://tapbots.com/tweetbot/
It has had dark mode for a long time.
I'm an American and I have occasionally had home delivery of the New York Times, even though I don't live near New York. My parents still do have it delivered and they live near where I do, but they're thinking of stopping the paper edition. It costs over $1,000 a year. But I think they do value it.
We did used to live near New York City. But it's not nostalgia, The New York Times and (it always has been but increasingly again) and The Washington Post, and also The Wall Street Journal are national newspapers. Relying on a huge city or a huge political apparatus is what used to fund newspapers to go beyond what even Chicago or Los Angeles papers could do.
It is important to fund newspapers and boy do you get a lot of physical material. When my parents have me look in on their cat for 2 weeks that is a LOT of NYTimes newspapers in pounds. That's kind of the problem I had. I don't want to read all that paper. I'd rather use it on my computer, phone, iPad, etc.
But digital delivery it's easier to ignore stuff you wouldn't think you were interested in until it catches your eye as you turn the page.
I'm very torn about this.
Clearly everybody in every country should read the entirety of every good newspaper every day. Since this is impossible, what is a compromise?
Personally I try to curate a private twitter group both of "Newspapers" and also another one of "Newsmen" that I visit as often as I can using my preferred program, which is called TweetBot
no question at all, Tweetbot on my iPhone and iPad and actually even my Mac! (syncs all around)
Best Twitter client there is.
I use Twitter pretty hard, especially with lots of private lists. This is the way to do it.
If you're an iOS and you need a good Twitter app, try Tweetbot. Ad-free and it feels a lot faster than the official Twitter apps on any platform.
For Reddit, try Readder.
Neither apps are free (you can view posting in Readder but to actually you use it, you have to pay). But that's usually the case on iOS- if you want the best experience, it's not going to be free.
For Reddit I actually prefer the official app but that's because Handoff (the feature that allows you to seamlessly move from Mac to iOS and vice-versa) is supported.
Oh funny, I had no idea it was also happening on iOS. I use TweetBot and they don't show up in there at all, so perhaps this is your solution?
I've been using it for years and it's really great. Highly recommended!
