I use twitter for the iPhone and want to switch but I want to know your opinion on which is the best Twitter app for the iPhone free or paid.
 
There have been numerous threads discussing this very same topic.

I believe this is the most recent:

With that said, I was using Tweetlist Pro since I really love that app. However, I'm currently back to using the official Twitter app since Tweetlist has developed some bugs within the app. If you want to check it out, they have a free (ad supported) version. Also, Tweetbot seems to be quite popular these days. However, I'm not a huge fan of it (yet).
 
Personally, I love the Pro version of Echofon. Keeps my unread in sync across all devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Firefox plug-in), and will push mentions and DMs.

Out of interest, what kind of TweetList bugs and do the awesome developers know about them - I know they strive to quash any bugs and TweetList is way more reliable than all the other clients out there.

I've been getting error messages lately when I go to retweet. But when I used the official Twitter app, it retweets fine. I haven't contacted the devs since I had thought they had been traveling (from following them). I also thought there was another update for the app coming out, but maybe I'm mistaken.
 
sadly there is one sure shot app for twitter. I do like the official app but resently switched to tweetdeck for the merged accounts in one timeline, including FB is awesome. I also liked tweetbot but i'm still waiting for features to be added. It really depends on what your looking for, all the apps have one thing but then lack another.

+1. I love that it also keeps my "mute" lists in sync as well. :)
