Had been a long time fan of the Tweetlist and until a friend of mine pointed me to this app. I instantly fell in love with this app. The simplicity, easy access to everything without digging deep in to other pages, and extremely fast in loading very large number of tweets.
It is now my favorite and top choice of a Twitter Client.
Overall, an absolutely awesome app and highly recommend this over Tweetlist.
Many new features are soon to come to provide even more things you will be able to do with this app.
Comments
#1 Don't update to 4.1
I've just downloaded the update to version 4.1, and this has major accessibility problems.
The timeline is now mostly inaccessible. You cannot swipe into or through the timeline. Tapping anywhere on the timeline will have VoiceOver read the text from the line that you happen to have tapped on, but nothing more. You will not be able to swipe to read anything more.
#2 Version 4.2 looks very good
The latest update to Twitterrific specifically mentions VoiceOver fixes in its release notes, and I have to say that I am really impressed with how the app now works.
It doesn't have all the features of TweetList, but I do find it more intuitive and generally easier to use. The interface is fairly minimal, whilst a double-tap on a tweet brings up a menu of every available action.
I like the way that VoiceOver reads tweets as you flick through your timeline. It tells me everything I want to know about the tweet, in the order I would like it. I particularly like that it states when a tweet is part of a conversation.
Like TweetList, it does not support push notifications, so you would need to use an app such as Boxcar to manage these.
#3 Nice app, largely overlooked
Someone mentioned Twitterrific, and being the twitter nut I am, I had to give this one a go. I already have Echofon and Tweetlist pro, so why not try another one? I must say, I'm impressed with this one. Like previous people have said, I like the fact that you're told when a tweet is part of a conversation. It also plays the same sound that you might hear when using Boxcar. The first time I heard the sound, I was a bit surprised! The only thing that might put some users off at first is that when you're browsing tweets, the compose button is at the bottom of the screen, and you don't have the usual tabs like home, mentions, dm's or messages as some apps call them, or search. To get to these, you first have to double tap the back button at the top of the screen, and you'll then be able to get to these different parts of the app. Overall, it's a really nice one, and it's been largely overlooked due to its previously being a bit unusable with VoiceOver. i'm glad to say it's usable now so anyone looking for an interesting twitter app, give this one a look. You will get some adds, but these can be gotten rid of if you go premium.
#4 IT's all I use now
I use this app all the time because of it's simple interface, and the fact that it tells you when a tweet did or didn't post. thanks to @HLLF on twitter, I love it.
#5 Contender
Listening from other Twitter users. We can all say we love Tweetlist but Twitterrific is right up there for me. I really like this client quite a bit. I'm in agreement this is overlooked by so many Twitter client reader. For being FREE you can't not try it at least.
I really do like this very much!
#6 DDefinitely staying with Twitterific
I'd like to confess that since I've gotten my Iphone 3 months ago, I've gone back and forth among the Oficial Twitter App, TwitList and finally Twitterific. However now I definitely stay with Twitterific! Aside from the pros of letting us know when a Tweet has been posted, or Retweet posted or other prompts, the bird sound when tweets arrive is very original! Even better, and the reason why I now use Twitterific, is you can send tweets from anywhere in the app! Suppose I'm in the Message area (where one sees Direct Messages) and I want to tweet something to my general timeline? OK as easy as going to the bottom right of the screen, and there you have the post option! So would you join me in starting tu give Twitterific a try?
#7 I already have
Hi! I've already tried Twitterriffic, and I think it's great. I know a lot of blind IOS users are fans of Tweetlist, but Twitterrific is definitely just as accessible as far as I'm concerned. It's true that Twitterrific doesn't have push notifications, which might be a drawback for some people, but for me it isn't, especially as I don't do a huge amount of tweeting from my iPhone: when I do, though, I like to have a good client to do it with, and Twiterrific fits the bill for me.
#8 Twitterrific: An Overlooked Twitter App
I really haven't liked the native Twitter app ever since they introduced promoted tweets and the separate buttons to get to peoples' profiles. So, I've been bouncing between the native client, TweetList, and Twitterrific. I really like Twitterrific because of the notifications one gets when new tweets are loaded/posted/etc. and because of the nice little actions menu that pops up when you double-tap on tweets.
#9 Version 5.0
Twitterrific version 5.0 has been released, and it continues to work wonderfully with VoiceOver. It is worth noting that version 4 users will need to search for version 5 in the app store and also pay to upgrade.
Below you will find the description in iTunes at the time the app was launched:
"Special launch price – 50% off for a limited time ★★★

The developers have asked for feedback about the accessibility of Twitterrific 5. It is also worth noting that there are a couple minor issues with VoiceOver support, but that they did make it into the 5.0.1 update.
#10 I just paid for the upgrade
I just paid for the upgrade to version 5 of this app,
one thing I like is the fact that you can keep both this new version of the app and the last v4 version on your phone at the same time.
After having installed this new version, I am not so keen on it compared to the old version.
I have found several unlabeled buttons in the help menu, I have also found that under settings and sync behaviour there is a button that simply says off checked, with no indication what is actually off.
I also found under sync service I can't uncheck the button that says i cloud using the usual double tap on the button.
I also find the new sidebar button you have to be quite precise when looking for the button to open it.
another thing I have found is that I don't seem to be able to get there instructions to work for clearing the tweet cash, double tapping and holding on my account doesn't seem to do anything.
Its also disapointing to see there two finger pull gesture to refresh manually, as if I understand it right this will conflict with VoiceOvers read gesture, and they seem to have got rid of the actual refresh button.
I think for the moment I will probably stick with the older version of this app,
I would like to contact the developers, but it seems a lot of work to create an account on there forum and create a new topic just to make contact, whatever happened to a proper e mail address?
Something else I also can't find is a setting which exists in the older app to change the refresh time so that it checks for updates more frequently.
Another setting I would like to see is an option to change the number of api calls the app can use, as at the moment it only seems to be able to use 1 call at a time, whereas on pc clients like the qube this can be changed to let the client download more tweets than just 200 which can be useful if you haven't been on twitter for a few days.
#11 Feedbacks
Alex,
Thanks for finding all of the problems you have faced with the new version. I will personally send this to the folks of Twitterrific on the problems you have found.
The team of Twitterrific has encouraged us to report all and any bugs that you find along with any accessible issues that you have come across.
They will work hard to ensure these issues will be addrressed and fixed.
So send anything you have at:
support@iconfactory.com
Thanks so much for pointing that out for us and for the team over at Twitterrific this will certainly help them out.
#12 call me crazy, but...
I, too, much prefer the older interface of the twitterrific app. This new one is just a bit confusing to me and doesn't seem as intuitive. Plus there's no way of determining how often the app refreshes, or at least I haven't found a way of doing that. I don't regret the purchase though, I may come to grips with it eventually, and it may grow on me.
#13 Refreshing
Hi
If anyone knows how you can get the content to refresh automatically, we would really love to know please. I like the app. I have been trying to find a good Twitter app for a while as I am now beginning to use the iPad extensively and I like the interface of this app. If there is no way to refresh automatically, how can I refresh the content please using the Apple wireless keyboard?
Thanks for any help.
#14 Manually refreshing with BT Keyboard.
Hello, to refresh with the keyboard, just use Option uparrow while quicknab is on.
Hope this helps.
#15 Refreshing Onscreen
From what I was told while interviewing one of the developers on the AppleVis Extra podcast, one can use the three finger swipe down to refresh the timeline while VoiceOver is on.

#17 shame we don't have the old
shame we don't have the old bird sound back though, the new ound when tweets come in is just two quiet, plus the birds were a nice connection with the name.
#18 marking where you are?
How can you mark where you are up to when reading tweets in twitterific v5.01?
#19 TweetMark
Hey Adam,
Well, what I do is this. Go to the Settings and find the Sync Behavior. Once in there be sure to select the Scroll to Marker.
Once that is on. Each time you open up Twitterrific. You will hear that it is refreshing. Wait until it says it has finished refreshing.
At this point. It should have automatically scrolled down to the last tweet it had retrieved from Twitter.
So what I do now is just keep flicking to the left as you will go up towards the newer tweets.
I believe the marker automatically marks your spot by the last tweet it has pulled. Not certain if you can set a marker manually.
HTH
#20 Is there an option?
Hello.
Please does Twitterrific have an option to delete all tweets at once from timeline?
Another question is how do you delete a tweet you do not want?
Thank you for help.
#21 How is this any different then Tweet List?
How is Twitterrific any different than Tweet List? Is there something I am missing but isn't all of this stuff that you have been able to do in Tweet List for quite awhile? Don't get me wrong, I think it is great to hear that the developers are making so many positive strides with Voiceover compatibility, I am just trying to figure out if I am happy with Tweet List, is this app worth buying? Thanks
#22 direct messaging
So I downloaded twitterific 5 today and I love it. Just wondering how to see my direct messages though. I go to messages and it says empty list. a friend of mine says that on 4 he had a refresh button but I don't seem to have one. Someone please help. Glad I can use push 4.0 until this is figured out because it's kinda annoying.
#23 Fix for Missing DMs
Hi Andrea,
This help article on The Iconfactory's website answers your question. Basically...what you need to do is remove your account and re-add it to Twitterrific manually, instead of just adding it automatically from the iOS Twitter integration.
#24 I got Twitterrific yesterday i need help
I got Twitterrific and i have some questions? First is there an easy way to switch your accounts? Second are you guys going to do a new podcast on this new version since it's different then 4.0? Third once I clicked on the theme just to nose around I couldn't find any back button is there an easy way to get out of there I had To turn voiceover off and guess my way out? If I had to describe this application using only one word that word would be LOVE. I love this app and i have used it for a day
#25 Deleting and readding my account in Twitterrific
Hello,
I just recently bought, and started using the Twitterrific app. Having a few problems with it though, such as big gaps in my timeline. I see tweets in tweetlist that don't show up in Twitterrific. How would I delete my account so that I can re add it manualy? Also how do I add my account manualy? I'm hoping that the soon to be released update to this app will fix these issues for me. Thank you for any help with this!
#26 Next update and beyond
Hello Nanda and Lisa,
The release of v5.0.2 should be coming soon.
This should address many of the problems we are having. Especially, the gap with in our timeline. There is a Load button to load more tweets but unfortunetly, we just can't see it but my understanding this will be fixed in the next update.
Michael will be doing another podcast on this app when the new release comes out. We wanted to wait until we see more things get fixed.
As for the Themes. This is also another area they are continuing to fix. In the v5.0 that was not very accessible friendly but in 5.01 it had improved. We are hoping that in v5.02 will now give us the ability to have a Back button!
I'm glad that others found this a new love as for their Twitter Client. As you already know we are also a big fan of the Twitterrific and what they have plan for their future updates will only make this shine. So the keyword I have is patience. When they do roll out those updates and features will no doubt in my mind be the best.
#27 It worked!
Hey Michael, the instructions you gave me worked. I love this app very much and will continue to use it. I know it still has a few problems but the interface is great.
#28 muting clients in twitterific
So, here's my question. I have just downloaded the twitterific app today, and really like it so far. The problem is that it doesn't seem to have the ability to mute certain clients. For instance, 4 square. Does anyone know if this can be accomplished currently? Thanks.
#29 Thank you
Thank you very much for the fast response, and I look forward to the update. All I can say now is I'm using Twitter more then i ever did before
#30 Muting
Hello WildmanJoe,
You are not alone! I to wanted this ability and just recently ask the team of the Twitterrific on this particular suggestion.
At this time the app does not give us the ability to mute anyone. However, they did say that this is on their list of things to do. So we should expect to see this feature in the future updates.
This is definetly one of my top wish to see added in their app. They are aware of the wish and want for that Mute ability. So as soon when I hear of any news of it being offered in their release. You can certainlyand will see my posting on it right here.

#32 What are avatars?
Hello,
Looking forward to trying this updated version of Twitterrific! Quick question though, what are avatars? I'm a fairly new Twitter user, so I don't know what this means.
#33 Avatar
An avatar is just a user's profile picture, which is displayed next to their tweets.
#34 double tap and hold for RT with comment
I tried the gesture for double tapping and holding for RT with a comment and haven't gotten it to work. just wondering why.
also, I wish you could delete entire DM conversations using quick actions like the swipe down with one finger to delete things like other apps do. maybe someone could mention this to the twitterrific developers...
would use this app a lot more if it had mute rules, conversation deletion and an RT with commont that didn't seem unusable.
#35 Double tap and Release
Hello Deeda,
There are two seperate set of menus when you do two different gesture. So let me try to help you out.
The one set of Menu is when you do a double tap and hold. The second set of menu is the double tap and no hold. So simply do a double tap on a tweet. Now this will offer you a way to Re-Tweet from here.
HTH
#36 Podcast on Twitterrific 5.0.2
Hi guys,
As AnonyMouse has indicated, I will indeed be putting out a podcast on Twitterrific. I don't have access to any good recording equipment until this weekend, though, so it might have to wait until then.
#37 Theme Page Advice
Found out something today from the great people from Twitterrific! At first I thought there was a bug with in the Theme area. I couldn't for the life of me find the Close or the Back button to get out of here.
So here is what the developers of Twitterrific had to say about that:
"It's not obvious but there is a universal Voice Over gesture to dismiss a view/panel. Simply make a "Z" shape with two fingers on the screen and the theme panel will dismiss."
So I gave this a try and lord behold it worked!
Thought I pass this advice along to others.
#38 Is there a podcast coming for Twitterrific for Twitter?
Hello,
I was just wondering if there are still plans to record a podcast on the updated version of Twitterrific for Twitter? Very much looking forward to it!

#40 Hi all,I must admit I
Hi all,
I must admit I haven't used twitterrific5 on my phone much, because mostly I get tweets on the computer, however I have started to use version 5 a bit more recently and now have 2 questions.
In particular I am having problems locating two buttons while in the view that displays tweets.
I am having problems finding the compose button I have tried running my finger all over the screen but keep coming across tweets.
The second button I am having problems finding is the button called load more that loads more tweets from your timeline.
I found it once by accident but haven't been able to find it again.
I have my phone in portrait mode.
Any tips for locating these two buttons would be appreciated.
Its a shame that the rotor can't be used to quickly find buttons on the screen.
#41 Compose and load more
Hello, the compose button is always in the top right corner of the screen. put your finger on the status bar icon for battery percentage and slide your finger down. You should hit it that way. Now to find the load more button. When twitteriffic automatically refreshes, you should be at the last tweet you read, at the bottom of the newest tweets. If you can load more tweets, flicking left, as you would when scrolling through your tweets, will announce that as an option. Sometimes, when you first refresh, this button will say "dimmed", but flicking left, the right twice, then back left to the button usually fixes that. If you meant how to refresh your timeline manually to load tweets, when you are at the top of the list, do a three-finger slide down. This is the IOS pull to refresh gesture. Hope this helps.
#42 auto refresh
Is there a way to get the app to automatically refresh it's tweets?
#43 Hi, I think your talking
Hi, I think your talking about push notifications and no they are not supported yet but will be in a future update.
I have found that I have to scroll back through allot of tweets just to find the load more button.
I have asked the developer on twitter if it can be made possible to find the button by using the buttons option on the rotor.
#44 2 noobie questions
Hi all
Have been using twitterific for a while now and have 2 questions.
1. Is there a quick way or easy jesture to switch between accounts if you have more than one twitter acount set up?
2. If you havent used Twitterific for a while and you open it, it will be at the last tweet you read however sometimes I want to jump right up to the latest tweet and don't want to scroll through the entire backlog, how can I do this?
Thanks
#45 No, not push notifications
I'm not referring to push notifications, I'm referring to some apps that refresh their timelines every so often. Does Twitterifick support this?
#46 Information
The app should automatically refresh whenever you open it. Try hitting the home button and then reopening the app if you don't find this to be the case. The easiest way to change accounts, according to the twitteriffic help, is to tap and hold the sidebar button. Have not tried this. If you want to get to the first tweet in a list, find the compose button using the method I described above and then flick to the right. that will cause it to read the tweets from the most recent.
#47 Hi, don't know that i'm
Hi, don't know that i'm afraid, its worth following @Twitterrific on twitter and asking. They will respond to you in a few minutes.
#48 switching between accounts
eRegarding the first question: you can quickly switch between accounts by pressing and holding the accounts button at the top. Hope this helps!

#50 I never really paid much
I never really paid much attention to IOS twitter clients previously but after hearing the podcast and reading through all these comments, I am impressed and will be definitely buying this tonight. The thing I like which differs from the standard twitter client is being able to mark where we3're up to in the timeline.
One small question; I assume "muffling" referrs to filtering out that user or hash tag?
#51 Muffling
Muffling is very much like what Mute does in the Twitter native app. It is a way to muffle people from your timeline.. This allow you to keep following someone without haveing to unfollow them. What you can't do and somebody can clarify this for me. Is that you can't muffle upon say a hastag. It only works on a person. So basically you can only turn them off or on from your timeline.
HTH
#52 Using muffling or mute With VoiceOver
Hi, How can I use the function of muffling or mute hashtag, user or domain using VoiceOver? I can¡t do.
Thanks.
#53 Muffle an User
Hello Jose,
Just double tap on the person you want to muffle on your timeline. From the Menu go down to the "From@The Person Name." Double tap on this. Now flick to the right until you find the Action button. Double tap on this button and you will now have the option to Muffle the User.
HTH

#56 Muffling Hashtags
I'm having trouble muffling hashtags using Voice Over. I contacted Twitterific support, and they said tap and hold the hashtag to bring up that option. When I asked for more help, they gave me a site to go to which, while a nice promotional, did nothing to explain why I'm having difficulty with this process. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.
#57 Problem with Direct Messages
With Twitterrific being so highly regarded by my fellow blind peeps, I finally broke down and bought it even though I have been very happy with Tweet List. Not sure if I have a setting set wrong, as none of my Direct Messages are showing up under Messages. I just got a few from someone and they show up on my mac in Night Owl, in Tweet List in the iPhone, but Messages in Twitterrific are blank. Any clue what the problem is? Thanks
#58 Muffling hash tag.
Hi, I'm facing same thing as well. When I do what is suggested, it will start searching the hash tag instead.
