Twitter has updated its official iPad client app, adding additional support for tweets with images and video embedded, as well as support to view photos, videos and links from the web full-screen within the app.
Tweets come alive in the new Twitter for iPad. Expand Tweets with a single touch to see beautiful photos, rich videos and web page summaries right in your timeline. Dive into the content with another tap to see the photo, play the video or read links from the web in fullscreen mode.
Click to expand...
Also, both the iPad and iPhone versions of Twitter have gained a new 'Header' image for user profiles that is similar to Facebook's 'Cover Photo' and will be displayed above tweets on iPad, mobile apps, and Twitter.com.

Twitter for iPad and iPhone is available free on the App Store. [Direct Link]

Looks good, but I doubt they will ever compare with Tweetbot for iPad; that's my opinion of course. :)
 
Whoah, they removed the option to load and display URL's while looking at your tweet, this sucks. Now it's nothing more than an enlarged iPhone app.

Thumbs down.
 
Well, they've destroyed yet another Twitter app. I had already been forced to switch to TweetBot on my phone (and am quite happy with it). This finally made me do the same on my iPad. Aside from a horrendous interface, trying to use multiple accounts is extra clunky.
 
Wish it was more like the mac version (as it was before this update) I shouldn't have to go to app settings to check my different accounts. I like being able to just tap on the "icon" for a different account and see all the settings just pop up. They're wasting so much space by removing that in lieu of adding the same tabs that the iPhone version has. FTL!! In my opinion :(
 
The app is weird in portrait mode. The four buttons should not be on the left. They take up waay too much space. They should be at the bottom instead, like a tab bar. Perhaps they could even stay in the exact same place when the iPad is rotated to landscape mode, while those buttons rotate by 90 degrees, so their direction is right.

Tab bar on the left is un-ipaddy and a waste of space.
 
Look at all that wasted space! Awful! What were they thinking?!

Maybe they hired the Skype designers. :p

Urgh. What a catastrophe.

Twitter need to get rid of their mobile team. They are flat out terrible. Everything they touch turns to crap.
 
Not surprising that everyone thinks it's a huge deal and hating on it. If they would have made Jesus read people's tweets to you people still wouldn't like it.
 
I'm so outta the Twitter loop, what is that Tweetbot has that makes it better than the official Twitter app?
