It’s not the fault of Tapbots, but more so the fault of the current Twitter API that doesn’t let them take advantage of prompt notifications for Tweetbot users. Twitter did restrict this feature in an API change a couple of years ago, so I personally have Twitter and Tweetbot 6 on my iPhone and iPad to get those on-time notifications. Where the app does have problems is when it comes to on-time notifications. The app basically takes most of the good parts of Twitter and gets rid of the bad an unnecessary ones, such as Moments, ads before tweets with videos in them, promoted tweets and Twitter’s newest feature, Fleets. You get all of your tweets in the order they came in with no ads. However, what makes this app shine even more is it does not have any sponsored or promoted tweets in it. What has always drawn me to Tweetbot, which is another reason I love its sixth incarnation, is it has all of my tweets in a chronological order and has a beautiful UI to show it off. The top one for me is being able to view polls and see the results of them in the Twitter app, and I now can see pinned tweets. What makes the app shine is some other new features. The new app icon is a nice addition to the app.
Yes, you can use the app without its premium features, but that only enables you to read the tweets and not be able to post tweets.Īs for the look of the app, even though I already liked Tweetbot 5’s look and feel, this app is certainly an upgrade, even if it is a minimal one. Right now, you can get Tweetbot 6 Premium for either $0.99 a month or $5.99 a year.
Specifically, the app goes from a one-time purchase to a yearly subscription model. With all of that said, Tweetbot 6 was released last week and is set to be an app that changes the game for itself and its developers, Tapbots.
