Tweetie+iPhone=WIN

30 January 2009 | 2 Comments » | Angel Martinez

I just downloaded another Twitter iPhone app called Tweetie. I had been using Twitterrific for a while and really like it but decided to buy this app ($2.99) and try it. So far, I’m quite happy with it and although this is just my second day using it, Tweetie may end up replacing Twitterrific as my primary Twitter iPhone app.

There are some UI subtleties that Tweetie has that I like quite a bit, one being the ability to swipe your finger from left to right on a tweet. Doing this gives you a menu allowing you to reply, mark as favorite or see the user info (as seen in the picture below).

I also like that Tweetie allows me to just see the @replies which otherwise I may have missed if I haven’t checked Twitter in a while. You can post Twitpics directly from the client, something that Twitterrific also has, so there is no edge there.

For now, I’ll keep enjoying the app that’s quickly becoming my fav Twitter client on the iPhone……well, unless someone comes up with a better app ;-)
