Subscription adds unnecessary cumbersome management to end user and I really don’t need a social network app appearing in my already crowded App Store subscription section. If you can can live without Twitter API V2 features and use official app as substitute as I do, use Tweetbot 5 until it’s dead or killed before subscribe to 6 is probably a better idea.Īlso, a $4.99 app every year or every other year just feel like more appropriate for a social networking app. Having been using Tweetbot since it came out 11 years ago, it is an app I use daily and I’ve paid more than $50 in this over years, but new functions and design refinement of Tweetbot 6 doesn’t feel like warranting a $6/year paid subscription.

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. 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. 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 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 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. Perhaps if the Tweetbot iOS and MacOS clients could be bundled together this could be a good deal, but otherwise it’s sad to see one of the all-time greats go this way. It’s not so important to me that I won’t just keep using TB5 and the Twitter web client rather than shell out even more than I paid for TB5 every year for something new. But at the end of the day, for an average person like me, it’s literally just Twitter. I paid good money for Tweetbot in the past. I realize developing a good application takes time and money, and I’m all for supporting developers. Tweetbot 6 brings all of that and more to the table-time will tell how much more-but I’m not sure the added features make it worth it the shift in business model.

Fortunately, Tweetbot 5 was a stellar app, and in spite of Twitter’s stinginess with their API for all those years was full of really nice features.

Professional software suites like Adobe can get away with it for the reason that their alternatives don’t have the same market share and integration, but as a third party social media client, you’re already the underdog, and you’ve got more convincing to do to get me to use your product. The mass explosion of the subscription model is one of the worst things to happen to consumer software. Once these things are addressed and fixed, I will have a higher rating. Overall, the functionality and the clunkiness of how the app operates need to improve in my opinion. I do believe these are easy fixes that would improve the functionality of the app. Tweetbot makes me press on the settings of a tweet to look at the details of everything which is honestly time-consuming and annoying. 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. The way the app functions when trying to interact with a tweet is just rough all around tbh.

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. Especially when I'm simply trying to find out who recently liked my tweet or mentioned me. Also, I do not like the tab bar at the bottom too much, I don't find it to be very helpful. 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. The fluidity of the app is a little clunky.

However, there are a few cons that I think bring down my rating for it. The look, aesthetics, and display are attractive.

I think the app is pretty good for the most part.
