Tweetbot 4 Release Brings Refreshed Design and New Features

A much anticipated update for Tweetbot has arrived in the form of Tweetbot 4. However, it brings an overhauled design and new features to the iPad.

While the new app looks relatively unchanged on the iPhone, the iPad version has received a nice upgrade. Tweetbot for iPad has been a bit neglected and hasn’t received updates in over a year, so it was definitely time for some sort of overhaul of the iPad version.

Tweetbot 4 supports iOS 9’s new Split View multitasking feature and lets you use two apps simultaneously on iPad, so you can view your tweets while browsing a website in Safari, making it the ultimate productive tool for mobile users. makes it. It has a Quick Reply to a tweet from the Notification Center on your device.

There’s also a new landscape mode that works with the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPad.

The new Activity View is something special, as the official Twitter app only has this feature, and Twitter’s API restricts other third-party apps from having such a feature, but Tweetbot was able to work around this restriction temporarily and create its own activity feed. perhaps better than Twitter’s own activity view.

Tweetbot 4 also features a new Statistics View that gives you a daily overview of your stats and how well your tweets are performing. It tracks retweets, follows, and favorites, all displayed in a great graphic layout.

Just like the previous version of Tweetbot, interaction with individual tweets hasn’t changed much. You can swipe left to view individual tweets and have options to reply, retweet, favorite and share that tweet. And now you have the option to swipe right to instantly retweet or favorite a tweet, so you can customize the specific action you want in the settings. Swiping further to the right will allow you to quickly respond to this tweet.

For users who take advantage of the different filters that Tweetbot offers, you’ll be pleased to know that the mute filters have been improved. You can now mute keywords, hashtags and other users directly from the custom mute section. You can even set a certain amount of time to mute someone or something, and there are other filter customizations you can take advantage of.

Again, the Tweetbot 4 is currently priced at $4.99, but will rise to $9.99 once the temporary sale ends. Luckily for those who have purchased Tweetbot 3 in the past, this $4.99 price will always stay the same, so if you already have the previous version, you don’t have to rush to go and buy this new version.

This shouldn’t be too surprising, as Tweetbot always charges users for every new app it releases, including Tweetbot 2 and Tweetbot 3, both of which are completely new apps that you have to re-buy. That’s not a lot of money to spend though, especially since you only spend a few dollars each year a new app is released.

Oh, it’s also worth mentioning that Tweetbot 4 is only compatible with iOS 9.
