What is your Twitter client of choice?

-Ryan- · Nov 11, 2012, 02:41 PM

I recently moved to a retina display Mac, and so have had to give up the official Twitter application as I was having to strain my eyes to read the blurry text. Anyway, I'm now looking for a replacement client. What do you use and why?

So far I have considered both Osfoora and Tweetbot. Osfoora is out of the running because of a bug with retina displays that has been outstanding since June, and Tweetbot is in my opinion just too expensive.

I prefer YoruFukurou.

I use TweetDeck & love it... I've been using it for years, even back when I had a Windows machine.

I just use Twitter's own client. The only other client I'd even remotely consider is Tweetbot. But, at the price of $20, I just don't see the value in getting it, for a service that is non-essential.

The official twitter client is great. But I adore Tweetbot. It is pricey though.

People still use twitter????

HazyCloud · Nov 11, 2012, 11:18 PM

Tweetbot, hands down. While it may be expensive, that's all because of how Twitter handles 3rd party tokens.

Tweetbot.

iCloud timeline sync alone is worth it to me.

I gave up on Twitter and moved to app.net.

I would rather be the customer rather than the thing for sale.

Use Tweetbot on both Computer and iOS, well worth the money in my opinion

James Craner · Nov 12, 2012, 04:47 PM

TweetBot hands down on OS X and iOS.

Twitterific, its clean and simple. It synchronizes over all devices so I don't have to scroll back to where I left.

Sital · Nov 13, 2012, 08:29 PM

I guess I'm a dinosaur - I just access it through my browser.

SuperSnake2012 · Nov 13, 2012, 10:51 PM

Twitteriffic on my Mac, Tweetbot on my iPhone.

DoctorCrap · Nov 13, 2012, 11:01 PM

Tweetbot. Thought may be expensive but is the best choice for a Twitter Client.

Twitter app is fine, we won't be expecting too much from a free application on the App Store.

Osfoora is also cool. Not as expensive as Tweetbot and has some cool abilities.

Mackilroy · Nov 15, 2012, 10:15 AM

I use TweetDeck on my laptop and on my iPhone. It's free and very nice (albeit missing some features it used to have… alas).

aaronvan · Nov 15, 2012, 11:33 AM

Tweetbot on the phone and the Twitter web site on the Mac.

Badrottie · Nov 15, 2012, 11:10 PM

official Twitter client for me.

I also use the official client. So far no ads (promoted tweets). I switches to Tweetbot on iOS because of ads
