That is perhaps the hardest sell for Tweetbot. All of these limitations are on Twitter’s end and have nothing to do with Tweetbot specifically. You cannot search tweets from more than the last seven days. You cannot view who liked a tweet or retweeted a post with a comment. For example, while you can now view polls in Tweetbot, you cannot vote in them it will prompt you to open the poll in the Twitter app if you try.
Tweetbot 5 update#
Tapbots’ ability to update Tweetbot is, alas, limited by how fast Twitter builds out its new more developer-friendly API. Tweetbot’s subscription is primarily based on the promise of future updates. Recognizing this, many developers time the move to a subscription with a substantial app update to start off on the right foot, which Tapbots hasn’t done.
I have no issue with subscriptions conceptually, but they rightly carry the expectation that in return for regular payments, users will receive meaningful, periodic updates. Tapbots made minor changes from a user’s perspective but, under the hood, it is now running on Twitter’s still-in-development V2 API. At six dollars per year, is the new version worth the price jump and paying for it annually? after launch pricing expired, or about two dollars per year.
Tweetbot 5 free#
That was a free update from the previous version, released in 2015 for ten dollars in the U.S.
Tweetbot 5 upgrade#
But the big news is that most of the app is locked behind a subscription: if you want to use multiple accounts, filter your timeline, use push notifications, or send a tweet, you’ll have to pay up.Įach new major version of Tweetbot from its first release was a paid upgrade until Tweetbot 5 in 2018. It looks a little nicer, the bird in the icon now looks stoned, and there are a handful of enhancements. Tapbots released a new version of Tweetbot today. Tapbots Releases Tweetbot 6 With Monthly and Annual Subscription Options
Tweetbot 5 mac#
Tweetbot has a version available on the Mac as well that costs $9.99 and is a one-time purchase.Written by Nick Heer. For someone like me who uses the app every single day, a subscription for just $5.99 a year is nothing.ĭo you plan on getting and subscribing to Tweetbot 6? Make to sure to give us a shout about it on Twitter at Bonus points if you use Tweetbot 6 to make that tweet too! It adds new features and keeps me hooked, even with it’s new subscription model. Needless to say, in my book, Tweetbot 6 is getting 4/4 stars from me. Granted, I have not seen this done with every single article posted on Twitter, but I have seen it on some which is a nice change. Lastly, I like that the app shows links from articles posted from websites, even if the media entity did not upload the image along with the tweet. 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. There has not been a day where I have not had or used it on my iPhone, iPod Touch (when I used those), iPad or MacBook Pro.
A post shared by David Becker forward nearly nine years later, I still use the app every single day.
