Maybe thats due to the majority of apps being low priced so have been spoilt for so long lol Yeah, I have tons of games I rarely play now that I paid full whack for, but still would not pay that much for a Twitter app on the phone.

Heh, well I paid $19.95 for Tweetie Mac, so I'd have no problem paying that for the iPhone app, especially when I consider the amount of £5.99's I've spent on games that I haven't touched in months :) The white bubbles theme in the DM section in Tweetie 2 looks like the Mac app and I think that would be great as a theme offering. I hope themes do get reinstated at some point because although I love the default look, I know many people who preferred the dark theme and it's always nice to have that option. Hey Stephen.

The pull down to refresh feature is a great addition and one that I think many more apps will add in the coming months. I am actually very disappointed that there is no dark theme and hope that at some point the author re-introduces it other than that so far I have not found anything wrong with it. lol Sam, I certainly would not pay £10.79 for a Twitter application and sure many others wouldn’t ;)

I put Twitterrific on my iPhone a couple of weeks ago as, admittedly, I had hardly looked at it following it's big 2.1 update. Whilst the raven theme is beautiful, I still found myself unsure as to where everything was. For instance, it took me 2 days to discover how to view a persons profile. I had to go into Settings > Advanced and then tell it that I want it to 'Show Author' when I tap the avatar. But, in my opinion, Tweetie and Twitterrific are the two that have raised the bar for iPhone twitter clients. Everything else, once again in my opinion, seems to pack all kinds of features in but looks as ugly as sin....or vice versa. Tweetie and Twitterrific look absolutely loved all over. Can't wait for the updated Mac version with syncing between that and the iPhone version. Hai five, Chris!

I admit it has a killer user interface that is absolutely gorgeous. However, two things that twitterrific has are things I couldn't give up. A completely unified timeline, and the "marks" feature that arrived with version 2. I use marks to—well, mark—interesting tweets or tweets with links when I can only glance at them. Nice to have a way to follow-up on things without publicly faving them. All that said, Tweetie 2 will remain on my iPhone as a backup client should there be a Twitpocalypse 3.
