Thanks I can't get to speak to anyone but have sent an email so hope I can get some response
I have just found out that if your following more than 1500 people then Tweetbot will not live stream!! No answer from them on this issue. I noticed this bug in the third alpha, and still....

Just got an email from Apple App Store agreeing to a refund,
Tapbot still not replied or acknowledged my complaint
Thanks again
That has been my experience with Tapbots, as well, after their initial response. Glad you got the refund from Apple.
For me syncing with Tweetmarker is working only from Mac to iphone. It doesn't work from iphone to Mac. Only when I stop Tweetbot for Mac completely, it picks up the mark set on the iphone.
It doesn't change my experience or opinion, but in case it may be of help to others, I'm posting this message I received from Tapbots late Thursday:
"Some users have found that they need to have "Cellular Data" enabled in the iCloud sync options in their phones for sync to work correctly.
We do not have control over the iCloud itself - it's an apple service that we are able to access.
If you would like a refund, you will have to go through the Mac App Store:

Thanks for contacting us!

In my opinion, they are still not acknowledging that a problem exists and/or that they are working on a resolution. Are they hoping that purchasers will just accept the app's apparent limitation? Seems odd to me, but I guess it could be that iCloud sync isn't important to most users.
Not buying it. Bought Tweetie a while back when it was more expensive than TweetBot but with Twitter going nowhere right now in terms of supporting client apps (ridiculous 100.000 token limit etc.), I don't see a reason to buy it.
I will add that it was discovered that if your following more than 1500 people Tweetbot will not live stream, it a bad bug, the live streaming bug goes back to the 3rd alpha! All desktops are not supported and pin to top is broken.
I had the same problem. Restart keychain and that WORKED!, In addition to this you can try only to delete the tapbots entry.
Is syncing with Tweetmarker working OK for anyone?
For me, Tweetmarker syncing only works one way, from Mac to iOS.
Tweetbot for Mac does not pick up the Tweetmarker set on an iOS device. Only when I stop it completely before and start it up again it syncs.

iCloud sync is working fine on my end. After seeing the $20 price tag I used Tweetdeck and Twitter app for 2-3 weeks. I couldn't get over the difficulty in getting to the "Conversation" part of each tweet.
I caved and got Tweetbot and haven't been happier. Being able to swipe to get to the entire conversation of a tweet is so important for me.

I have one question before I make the leap to TweetBot - I currently use YoruFukurou, and it has a neat feature where it will show a broken heart icon over someone's avatar if I follow them but they don't follow me back ("one-sided follow", they call it).
I find that very useful as Twitter's unfollow bug has struck me several times.
Is there an easy way to show following/follower status in Tweetbot? I can't see anything on the screenshots on the Mac app store.

OK, so that's the same as the iOS version of TweetBot, isn't it? The at-a-glance badge in Yorufukurou is really what I need. Hmm.
Then again, perhaps the other features of TweetBot outweigh this? I really like the idea of separating all my windows and joining them up into columns. No other client (aside from the semi-functional TweetDeck) does this.
Shame they haven't done a demo version, but I guess with Twitter's limited tokens they can't.
Yes, I think it is the same as under iOS. I also would like a quicker way to see who of the persons I follow are following me back. It would be great if this was showed in the list of persons you follow.
As for features: I think Tweetbot has quite a lot of features. Also the notifications are very nice. Two things are lacking however:
- the possibility to change background and text colors
- tweets longer than 140 chars
Finally took the plunge and got it, and liking it so far.
Just one question: does Tweetbot support dock icon badges? I've checked the preferences and set notifications for DMs, mentions, etc, and I've also checked the System Preferences for Notifications, and Tweetbot is set to banners, badge app icon, and playing a sound. Sounds and banners work, but my dock icon remains blank.
