Tweetbot is one of the best iPhone apps for reading and posting to Twitter and this latest update just improves it yet further. The update is now available for free for existing users. Not yet using Tweetbot? It can be downloaded from the App Store now and is free. A subscription is required to unlock everything, however.
While the official Twitter app is still a great option for plenty of people, using a third-party app like Tweetbot does away with things like ads. It also adds features like timeline syncing across multiple devices — something I for one couldn’t begin to live without!
