Customer Reviews
Not a fan of the "upgrade"
While I do like the look of the new UI, I miss being able to translate tweets in app. It doesn't help that I can't copy and paste them to Google Translate (or other) anymore either.
Several issues I also dislike: the inability to use landscape mode in ALL components of the app; no support for any of the 140-character plus software programs; some tweets can't be RT'ed for reasons I have yet to discover; can't locate all of the people I'm following with the in tweet "@" command (but this seems to be true across all of the Twitter apps I use); unable to see the exact number of tweets I've posted; unable to see if a person is following me by simply clicking their profile; can't tell (within the app itself) who has RT'ed me; can't delete saved searches by swiping the search from the list; no longer able to click on a trending topic to see WHY it is trending, etc. I don't want to belabor the points that have caused me to disdain this app in favor of others.
I will admit I too hated the "Discover" tab at first. Now, it's grown on me. I know it would be impossible to satisfy ALL users within a single app but I hope the feedback that's been provided for this current version of the app will be taken into consideration by developers the next time around.
New version
Need slide to reply!!!
I do not like it.
The new look is great but I can't see if someone is following me or not (this is a HUGE problem) & the translate is gone. Also there used to be the little scrolling thing of the day's top tweets. Now it just shows stories. It was a part of my daily routine to check out the top tweets. Bring it back please! Also it is more difficult to search for somebody. & I can't make new saved searches or delete ones I already have. I'm happy I can see who now follows me & who retweets me, but I think the old twitter app needs to be brought back & just add the new features into it. getting rid of the old features was a BAD idea!
