Too late for me, I moved to TweetBot and I've been much happier since. :) I still use the original Twitter app on my iPad, so I may try it there however.

Same, switched to Tweetbot on my iPhone and iPad. Hoping they bring out a Mac version too. Too little, too late for the official app as far as I'm concerned.

Tweetbot could be the perfect app, except that it doesnt work for me since I keep getting that stupid twitter data limit error message, for hours on end and could never update my timeline. :(

Have you tried completely removing tweetbot and installing it again? I had the same issue when I recently restored my iPhone4 backup to my new 4S. I had to completely reinstall it and start fresh.

I've always loved the Twitter for iPhone app and used it exclusively.

Unfortunately this update does away with two of my favorite nitpicky features: 1) it no longer lists the client from which each tweet is sent 2) it no longer provides a map with location data, only the city name.

Losing these features constitutes a deal breaker for me; I have purchased Tweetbot.

Ever since they updated it three times ago, I stopped using and moved to Tweetbot. Much more efficient!

Pretty cool. I just updated my Twitter account and I now have my first follower -- Macrumors. I setup push notification for the tweets so I don't have to keep refreshing macrumors.com. :)

I've kept version 3.x (or whatever it was before the disastrous update a few months ago). Not sure I want to go through the reinstall process if I don't like this update.

Push Tweets from iPad?

I've been using Tweetbot for some time now, I love the synching between my devices.
Decide to re- download Twitter to see if it got any better and cannot see a way to enable pushing of tweets from follows on the iPad. The setting is present and works on my iPhone... Am I missing something obvious?

Is it just me or does that screenshot look a lot taller than the current iOS device (specifically iPhone) screen size? Possibly taken on an iPhone 5 prototype device?

Just speculation from an observation, of course - could be nothing at all, but I thought I'd point it out.

Is there any way to auto update and keep the recent tweets at the top of the screen rather than having to scroll up all the time?
