FYI, if you want to downgrade to tweetbot 2 (I don't know why you would) but you can't find it in the App Store, go to "Purchased" and you'll be able to download it there.
Got a tip for us?

Worth every penny of the $3 I spent. However, I thought I saw the $2.99 is only their introductroy price. But it's still worth it whether it's $3 or $5.
I'm glad to see the devs are going to release an update for the font size and a night mode, too.

OK... It's good to hear that. I especially will wait for the new Calcbot (no problems if I have to purchase it again, just hope it will be universal).
nope, they've actually removed features.... but the iOS 7 re-design looks really nice
They added features as well. Background refresh and new drafts UI come to mind right away. Webviews are confined to their own tab. Lots of smaller stuff.
Loyal to a point. I love Tweetbot and have no problem paying them for the iPhone version because I run it ALL THE TIME. I think twice but eventually always end up paying for the iPad version because I use it often, if much less than the iPhone one, but I definitely won't pay $20 for a mac TWITTER CLIENT (specially, with some of the stuff already built in on OSX and the official twitter app being perfectly decent and FREE) when I already have to pay TWICE for the iOS app just because they refuse to make it universal. If it were $10 or under (or if I had paid only once for iOS) I would most definitely buy it, but $20 is too much for a twitter client when there are much more powerful apps you can actually be productive with selling for less than that.
Just my opinion, tho.
Worldwide only option in Trends is a pain as it just comes up with loads of foreign (to me) info.
Hope that bugs sorted soon as I use it regular.

They almost HAVE to cause Twitter only allows a certain amount of tokens before they have to buy more. If it were a free update, it would use up another token and they wouldn't be able to pay for more.
If you can't handle paying $2.99 for a quality, re-designed app, you need to just stick with the free garbage-apps. The cost is about equivalent to buying your friend a beer.
Folks will pay $30+ for some cheap made in China case; yet, they won't pony up for quality software.

Is nobody upset that it looks absolutely nothing like a robot? It abandoned the most obvious thing to make it stand out from the crowd to blend in with iOS 7. I'm saddened by it, and thought there'd surely be others.
Agreed. And fact that (1) $2.99 represents a promotional price (soon to be increased to $4.99), (2) Tweetbot will eventually hit Twitter's token limit, and (3) Tweetbot is an app that most of the buyers would use almost daily -- all makes it more acceptable to pay to upgrade, even for recent buyers.
I would've paid to upgrade many other recent pay-to-upgrade iOS 7 apps if the developers offered some sort of promotional pricing as a sign of good gesture. I won't say who, but many shifted blames to Apple for not providing an infrastructure for upgrade pricing option. That's a nice and valid excuse and all, but in the end, they are saying FU to existing customers.
My problem is when developers milk customers such as not making a universal iOS app. The one that really pissed me off was the Slingbox app, it was $30 for iPhone/iPod version and another $30 for iPad version. Now both versions are $15 each.
"White" is an expensive color when it comes to battery life! I'm looking forward to their dark theme.
No, iPhones have LCD screen with white LED backlighting. White or black, the energy consumption is identical.
You are mistaking it for OLED, which consumes less energy when displaying darker image.
Not interested
These guys were rude and non responsive to people that asked about the upgrade and I've already moved on to a competitor. Do I miss some features? Yes, but I'm not interested in giving this kind of company my money these days.
$3 a year is not a lot... but you do have to tell me what you are thinking and not just let me hang for months on end if you want it.

Ok you do that, while the rest of us enjoy these features without worrying about petty things like this.
I think setting the Text Size in iOS to the smallest size possible works best with the new version of Tweetbot, but I still get one line of text less than with the same font size in the previous version of Tweetbot. I believe that would be because of bigger thumbnails of pics in the new Tweetbot's timeline. I think it'd be better if they changed their size to the one in v. 2.
I think the new version is pretty good minus the text settings anx the fact it feels a bit too "spacey" - i.e. feels like there's too much white space in between tweets etc... pretty much like the official Twitter app.

So, i'm paying for the same app again w/ less features... because it LOOKS nice?
Hmmm... i'll wait until they update their apps across the board (iMac and iPad) before I consider this. Does the automatic timeline update still work at least? that's really my main concern?
