Redesigned Twitter Starts With New iPhone App

On the old version on a profile you choose @ and seen all tweets to that person. Used it a lot. Anyone know if you can still do that as I can't find it.
 
There new design is pretty, but does a lot less.

I can now only see about 4 tweets on the main page, and I can't select a smaller font. It's getting really annoying to have to scroll all the time to keep up with people's updates.

A lot of people are complaining, but I like the new interface better.

Absolutely, its a lot cleaner and has more features :)
 
I downloaded it yesterday to see what all the hoopla was about. I like the redesign, yet my biggest gripe is that they still have not introduced RT with comment. I really hate the quote tweet feature. I'm going to continue test driving this into the weekend. I usually use Tweetbot as my Twitter app, so we'll see how I like it come Sunday night. I'm sure I will end up going back to Tweetbot.
 
Does anybody know if it is possible to install the 3.5.1 twitter app from somebody else on my iPhone? I just downgraded from 4.0 to 3.3.6 by reinstalling it via iTunes but the app crashes from time to time so I'd prefer 3.5.1.

Thank you.
 
I think this is a real step backwards for users with multiple accounts. It is now a lot more difficult to switch between them, it used to be very simple/quick.

Isn't that just the "Quote" option for retweeting?
 
Is it no longer possible to modify the Lists? I determined that I had added a few comedians that aren't actually funny to a comedy list. Now I can see the list, but I can't figure out how to remove people from it.

Very poor use of limited iPhone screen space. Not impressed.

Needs font size option amongst other space saving/efficiency preferences.

Yep. Unnecessary borders, way too big profile pictures (bigger than Facebook actually)....

I can't figure out how to get the new design on desktop. I've tried reinstalling Twitter for iPhone, nope. Removing my account in Settings and reinstalling Twitter for iPhone, nope. I only saw the new login and logout screen once.
 
Looks a lot better than before, but I don't think it's enough to make me switch from some of the 3rd party apps.
 
Streamlined and very clean interface. I only wish there was a bit more customization. For example, to auto-scroll to the first new mention after you refresh. A bit annoying that I'm constantly tapping the top bar to scroll up when the app and I both know that I opened the app from the notification bar to see said mention.
 
After using the redesigned Twitter app on my phone over the weekend, I went back to Tweetbot. I guess since I have used Tweetbot since it was released, I'm used to its features. Plus, I feel that Tweetbot is more polished than the official Twitter app. Valiant effort Twitter, but no thanks.

Search the username?

Yea, but this is far from a good solution for me. You can't copy the name of the person from his profile page, the app doesn't remember your search and there's no autocomplete feature.

This new version is a major step back on so many different levels.
 
Is there to add/remove people from lists on the new twitter app? Can't figure it out. Sucks if they removed this vital feature.

Multiple accounts is ruined! So many taps for such a simple function.
 
I've seen mixed emotions about the new twitter app. I have not yet been using twitter on my iPhone yet and while I was browing I found this statistic showing that most people actually not use Twitter on their iPhone .

Is it worth giving the app a shot? Obviously most people here did give it a try already.
