Tweetbot for Twitter 17+

The devs behind Tweetbot are amazing and deserve support for making what I would say is the best Twitter client out there. To be honest Twitter should pay Tapbots for their designs and efficiency of the app. Even though I will continue to support the app as well as the devs, I think maybe quarterly feature updates that you have to pay a upgrade fee would be cool or even a decently priced upgrade charge for the yr. I think that everything going subscription doesn’t make sense when people are starting to get subscription fatigue.

I think that yearly update charge, or even every six months not being advertised as subscription but something someone would have to consider and purchase it especially if the features are worth it. Which I believe this app and the devs do a great job of doing so I can see people supporting it. Maybe some creative thought can go into a different model but I’m all for this update and the devs being supported because I want them to continue going with what is the best Twitter experience that they are allowed to make because Twitter themselves took away a lot of the features.

I think the app is pretty good for the most part. The look, aesthetics, and display are attractive. However, there are a few cons that I think bring down my rating for it.
The fluidity of the app is a little clunky. I find myself having to press the home button multiple times to refresh to the top of the page which is a turn-off for me. Also, I do not like the tab bar at the bottom too much, I don't find it to be very helpful. Especially when I'm simply trying to find out who recently liked my tweet or mentioned me. I have to go to a certain section of my profile to see who liked/retweeted any of my tweets opposed to how the original Twitter app I have all of that information in my “Notification Tab” that is merely one click away.
The way the app functions when trying to interact with a tweet is just rough all around tbh. For example, on the home screen, if I see a tweet that possibly has other people interacting with it and tuning in to a conversation, I cannot simply press on the tweet to see what's going on. Tweetbot makes me press on the settings of a tweet to look at the details of everything which is honestly time-consuming and annoying. I do believe these are easy fixes that would improve the functionality of the app. Overall, the functionality and the clunkiness of how the app operates need to improve in my opinion. Once these things are addressed and fixed, I will have a higher rating.

I have to say that this is sad because I have used this app for many years now since it came out and the company was known for their Utilities app’s once I found out they were doing an Twitter client I was on board, but after many years. I wouldn’t mind paying for a new version of the app every year, so now playing for a subscription and keeping all the most useful features behind a pay wall call subscription is not ok with me at all I can’t support it. I don’t have any type of subscription because I don’t believe in them, I don’t even pay for DLC or micro transactions in the video games I play and love the most, so I would have rather be charge up front for this update than being looked out of the features that matters the most to me and many other users it doesn’t matter how cheap the subscription is. I just don’t appreciate and like subscription I would have love for the developer to let the previous version of the app users that they were going to lose some of their features after the update. Not recommend, and I’m sorry but this update is trash great app though, just don’t like and appreciate the new subscription model they had adopted, but hey a company needs to make a profit in order to survive no other choice. Good Luck to the company and the users. It didn’t have to be this way.
