It works fine but lacks features I got this app in hopes that it would allow me to customize media previews on the timeline to show up as full size on the timeline. Really, I'm incredibly disappointed that while there are a few options for this, none accomplish what I want. In fact, any portrait oriented images end up absolutely tiny on my phone screen. To see how this could be done well, take a look at reddit's 'Boost' app.

Sometimes there is a back button at the top left corner, other times not. I wish it was there more often as it's helpful on larger screen devices. For example, if tapping a muffled tweet, the button is not there, but that's exactly the time you need it, as you will want to return to the timeline after reading the tweet.

Great app. One thing missing tho. An option to choose where to save pics and what not. Right now it seems to default to the downloads folder and I can't seem to find the settings to change it. Edit: For whatever reason the view gallery when viewing someone's account shows stuff they retweeted. I don't see an option to only see stuff tweeted by the artist.

I'm EXTREMELY picky with Twitter apps but this is one of only a few good ones I've found on Android. Simple to use yet customizable. My favorite feature is the ability to set different refresh rates for different timelines (i.e. home, menions, DMs). Money well spent. One thing I would love to see in the future would be the option to add a tab navigation bar at the bottom. Most Twitter apps I've used over the years had that.

I've tried a few Twitter clients since abandoning the official one after Fleets was forced on me, and there's a lot to like here - it's configurable, fast, has several layouts to choose from and appears ad-free. It does have some consistency issues with the navigation bar (even with settings forced) and autoplay which can be annoying. The thing I miss most from the official client though is the way it displays trends: it feels like I've gone back to 2002 when viewing such basic lists in Talon.

I've installed mainly to declutter all the "It is happening on Twitter" clutter that distracts me beyond the point of allowed distraction levels for me. But stayed for all the smooth app experience, customisation & such. Handling of threads could be done in a better way, on main feed, show them like, first tweet in a thread before 2nd & 3rd tweet in threads, majority of people I follow thoughtful, long threads, it's frustrating to click through them! Please see what can be done, cool app!
