qTweeter Update – SBSettings Comptability and Add Images to Tweets

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free Trial then Donation  

qTweeter I did a review of qTweeter, an application that allows you to update your Twitter and/or Facebook status from any application, when it was first released in Cydia. At the time, I found two downfalls with the app…there was no ability to tweet images using qTweeter and every time you launched it, it also launched SBSettings. Well, two updates later, I think we are good to go!

After updating the app, I am able to launch it without launching SBSettings at the same time. The launch motion for qTwetter is still the same, swiping from the status bar down your screen, however it no longer launches SBSettings when you do this. A wonderful improvement! [Read more…]

qTweeter – Update Twitter and/or Facebook Status From Any Application

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free Trial then Donation  

qTweeter Last night, just before going to bed, I checked Cydia like I always do. I was surprised to see that Ste Packaging had released an app (it has been a while since I have seen one from them). This instantly made me a little curious about the application so, I decided to check it out. At first I was like, “Yeah, that is just what I need…another Twitter application!” But, after I installed and tested the app…it realized this was like no other Twitter application I had!

qTweeter allows you to update your Twitter and Facebook from any application. How that app works is, once installed, you can slide your finger from your status bar down the page. This brings up a nicely designed little user interface. The first time you launch the app (swipe from the status bar down) you will get a Welcome to qTweeter page. Here you will want to select the Start Using qTweeter option. [Read more…]

Retweet Free for 24 Hours

Available In: App Store       Price: $0.99 Free for 24hrs  

RetweetThere are A LOT of Twitter apps in the App Store, but this one is different from the rest. It’s a really great idea and for the next 24 hours, or so, it’s free. It’s really simple. It lists the top retweeted tweets and lets you retweet them yourself. That’s it! You can sort them by the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours and each tweet shows the original tweeper and how many times it’s been retweeted. There’s a refresh button in the top right and you can scroll down to load more. A must have for all Twitter apps is the built in web browser, which it has. The only thing it really needs is the option to edit the retweet before you send it. This may defeat the purpose of the app because if the tweet isn’t exactly the same, it can’t track it, but it would be a nice option.

The apps has great design and works great, but I’m glad I got it for free. It will be nice for tracking iPhone news but it’s not really an app I think everyone needs. Hurry and grab it while you can! And if you want the same thing in a browser, just go to their site, retweetfeed.com

NatsuLion for iPhone – Twitter Client

Available In: App Store       Price: Free  

NatsuLion NatsuLion for iPhone is a new Twitter application that was released in the App Store just in the last week. Doug has been doing a few reviews of Twitter apps so I thought I would get one in too! :) When you open NatsuLion, you will first need to enter your Twitter User Name and Password. Along the bottom of the application you will notice a menu bar with the options; Friends, Replies, Sents, Unreads and Settings. The Friends option is your main twitter feed of all you and your friend’s tweets. If you select one of the tweets, it will open the tweet full screen giving you the option to reply to the tweet or make it a favorite. You also have the option to see all of that friend’s tweets by selecting the @friend’sname option. One great feature of this application is that if there is a link, you can select it and it will open the link right in the application (you can change this in the Settings if you would prefer it open via Safari)! Now, a few downfalls are that you cannot easily direct message a friend. You can select reply and then change the @ to a d but, there is no actually direct message option. The second is that you cannot click on a link without opening the tweet and then selecting the link. I also think it would be nice to have the option to see who a friend is following and who is following that friend.

Tweetsville 1.0

Available In: App Store       Price: $3.99  

TweetsvilleTweetsville is another Twitter app from the developers of Twinkle. Some have asked why create another Twitter app instead of add features to Twinkle.

Tweetsville also costs $3.99 and Twinkle is free. Tweetsville seems to be built for exactly what users were asking for in a Twitter client. [Read more…]

Summize – Twitter Search

Summize I just realized that I have never done a review of a very cool, highly addicting, website. Summize.com is a website, very nicely optimized for the iPhone, that allows you to search Twitter for Keywords. When you go to Summize.com on your iPhone, you will be brought to the main page in which you can enter a keyword. There is also an Advanced Search option that allows for a much more specific search. In the Advanced search, you can search for specific words or phrases, people, twitters near you, twitters that include a :), :) or ?, twitters containing links and you can choose the number of results you would like to display on the results page. Whether you are just entering a keyword in the quick search or using the advanced Search… [Read more…]

MobileTwitter 1.5.2

MobileTwitter The update to version 1.5.2 of MobileTwitter adds a new Update First option in the Settings. If you toggle on Update First…when you open the application it will open directly to the Update section. Which I think is a great new feature. When I open a twitter application on my iPhone it is usually because I would like to twitter something and then I go in and read all the tweets. I think I am actually going to start using MobileTwitter. I have not been happy with Twinkle’s performance lately. Though, they are still a few things I like to see changed in MobileTwitter… [Read more…]
