Tapbots today released Tweetbot 6, bringing a major revision to the popular Twitter app for iPhone. Tweetbot is now an app with a subscription model.
#TWEETBOT APP STORE UPDATE#
The update sees the inclusion of the updated Twitter API that allows for cards and polls. Tweetbot 6 is a new update to the popular Twitter app.
#TWEETBOT APP STORE WINDOWS#
Like Tweetbot, there are some standard limitations to using a third-party Twitter app on Windows instead of the website or official client, but overall, we’re really big fans of. In our eyes, the best Windows-exclusive Twitter app you can grab this year is still Tweetium, a third-party application available on the Windows Store for just $2.99.
To prevent issues here, we suggest using the “Move – Confine to display” keyboard controls, instead of just “Move.” It’s fragile. That’s because the window doesn’t have a title bar, and as such, isn’t automatically protected from such actions by the OS. You can move Tweetbot windows completely offscreen with the keyboard controls.
#TWEETBOT APP STORE FOR MAC#
Otherwise? Resistance to Real™ Twitter is Futile.Tweetbot for Mac can have multiple columns, windows for just about anything you want Tweetbot, a powerful and stylish Twitter client for the Mac, can open April 9, 2013. Best case scenario is that we’ve all moved on from Twitter by the time it happens. The token limit is already affecting development of other popular 3rd party clients. Even if it hasn’t hit its token limit yet, Tapbots will eventually reach it, and development will probably stagnate as a result. Nothing better expresses planned obsolescence like third-party Twitter clients. But perhaps you shouldn’t hold your breath about a Tweetbot 3 for iPad update. If you already use Tweetbot for Mac, life is peachy. Judging from the way Twitter cares about its own Mac client, there probably aren’t too many of us who care in the first place. In fact, a Tapbots developer is pretty sure it isn’t token limits. Likewise, it’s unlikely they wouldn’t have noticed their token usage evaporating overnight. We probably would have heard sooner from Tapbots had they been approaching their user limit. The authentication issues seems to be resolving, then reoccurring, the resolving, then reoccurring, indicating something else might be the cause. Nobody involved has actually invoked token limits as the source of the issue. Tapbots has publicly stated that it’s working with Twitter to resolve the authentication issues and hopes to have Tweetbot back in the App Store soon. No other Mac client developer is reporting similar issues that might indicate it was a problem on Twitter’s end.
The authentication issues are similar to those reported by now defunct apps that have hit their token limit. There’s no obvious, simple answer to why the app would be pulled from the store besides ‘we’ve hit our token limit and if you pay us $20 for this you might be pretty upset when it doesn’t work’.
There is actually a Real™ Twitter token limit for third-party developers, which effectively limits how many people can actually use any given third-party Twitter client. There have been reports-that is, Twitter search results-that users are unable to authenticate new accounts. Tweetbot for Mac is currently unavailable in the App Store. Where You Heard It From Because It’s Now ‘News’:Īctual Thing That Happened On Which Reports Are Based: “Twitter’s war on developers continues: Tweetbot for Mac falls victim to token limit, gets pulled from App Store” Who’s Behind The Gossip?ĩto5Mac, champion of the illicit supply chain, overseer of close-reading technical patents. We’ll try to keep this updated if need be. Hopefully I didn’t spread any negative karma last week, but Tweetbot for Mac may or may not be doomed, and it may or may not be Twitter’s fault.
