In the battle of the “birds” (pun very much intended!) Tweetbot has dethroned Duck Dynasty as the top paid app in the US!
At least for now that is!
Note: Yes, I’m aware that there is more to Duck Dynasty than birds but then again I don’t really watch the show so 😛
Congrats to Paul & Mark for building such a gorgeous app, as well as underselling it to me for $2.99 USD! (when I would have paid $10 USD!) 😉
If you haven’t downloaded Tweetbot yet, or did previously & deleted the app before the latest & greatest update (3.1 last I checked) you might want to give it a second look.
Although Tweetbot’s UI is much more “crowded” than the Official Twitter iOS App, it does boast a few useful features lacking (& sorely needed) in the official app which include:
- Translation tools (as not everyone tweets in English!)
- Muting loud mouths via hashtags
- Ability to actually upload a video!
- Use your own custom URL Shortener
- No ads! (which I would PAY Twitter to avoid seeing)
Hopefully the Tapbots team will generate enough spare cash from Tweetbot’s success to begin updating their other neglected apps (& no, I don’t think that will include Netbot).
