TweetTime for iPad ($2.99)
Version 1.2
Review – “A great Twitter app for the iPad that gives you many of the advanced options that you’re missing!”
I love Twitter. I love to talk and contribute my random 140 character comments out to the world. Following me on Twitter can sometimes become an extreme sport. With that being said, having a nice Twitter app on my iPad was one of my top priorities.
TweetTime for iPad is developed by Dong-Wook Kim and is a great Twitter client. It offers many of the advanced features that users like myself want to have within their reach. At the same time, the app is very clean, eye appealing, and easy to navigate.
First of all, the app is written with a dark theme, which is a very popular request among Twitter app users. It of course works in both portrait and landscape modes. Portrait mode presents your timeline across the screen while rotating it into landscape not only shows your timeline but it also includes quick links to items such as Home, Mentions, Messages, Trends, and so on (see the screenshot below).
Clicking on a tweet will open it up into a new mini-window, which gives you options such as seeing a user’s profile, marking as a favorite, sending a DM, replying, and retweeting (although it is the old style retweeting). You can continue to drill down into the different links for even more options. When you want to send a new tweet you have the option to add in media from your photo library, URL shortening, and adding in your current location.
In addition, TweetTime for iPad has built in many of the nice Twitterfeatures such as list support (both your lists and lists you subscribe to), current Trends (which can be seen by current, daily, or weekly), multiple account support, and many other great additions.
Here is a listing of the features included in this version of TweetTime for iPad (taken from the developer’s list):
- Supporting multiple twitter accounts.
- Managing your twitter home, replies, direct messages and favorites.
- Trends Viewer.
- Searching Twitter.
- Searching a user.

- ‘In reply to’ feature. (You can keep tracing all the replies till the end.)
- Shows the number of new tweets when you log back in.
- Supporting OAuth for Authentication for Twitter Server.
- Saving draft of the tweet if you cancel composing tweet. And you can continue to compose it continuously when you re-composing tweet.
- Geotagging Support. You can post geotagged tweets. (Go to Twitter.com, change your setting for enable geotagging to use this feature.)
- Official List Support. Create List, Delete List, Add users to your own list, and subscribe other users’ list.
- Deleting tweets you posted.
- Uploading medias support 2 different modes.
In a future version release, I’d like to see the addition of the new RT Style accessible within the retweet link. Also, it would be nice if my tweets and possibly the @ replies directed to me were color coded so that they stood out from the other tweets in my timeline.
Overall, TweetTime for iPad is a solid Twitter app that comes is a great, clean, easy to use format, while packing in many of the in depth features that power Twitter users crave.
