![]() ![]() Only this time they are implemented elegantly. With all these options the colours you have grown used to in Twitterrific are still here. The typography nerd in you can have some fun with Twitterrific 5. While most apps allow you to just adjust the font, you can go all out here. If you spend a few minutes playing around with these settings, you will have a breathtaking timeline. You can also adjust font spacing and brightness here. I would have loved a simpler method of toggling the theme but then there is an option to have the dark theme on in the night based on your timezone. You can also toggle between the light and dark theme here. The appearance button in the middle will bring down an Instapaper-esque view that lets you switch fonts and adjust avatar and font sizes. A long press on your avatar on the main view will let you switch accounts in only two taps. The bottom of this has 3 buttons that let you switch accounts, customize the timeline UI and view the app settings. Tapping on your avatar will bring up a menu or a sidebar on the iPad that allows you to view your saved searches and lists. The highlight of the app for me is the ability to change almost every aspect of the timeline UI. I hate the fact that some views can be dismissed by tapping outside them but others require you to tap on the close button. The app is full of amazing animations for every view transition. While I’m not happy with the tab placement on the top, it is much easier to go through your timeline with nothing distracting you at the bottom of the screen. The buttons all have very subtle gradients if at all and look gorgeous. Your avatar is present in a circle on the top left of the screen followed by a seemingly weird placement for the home, mentions and messages tabs and the compose button. The Iconfactory have made some interesting decisions with the new UI of the app. The animation of Ollie hatching from an egg and flapping its wings as the timeline refreshes is really amazing. The first thing you will notice is the app finally has pull to refresh and it is one of the best implementations I have seen of it. It reminds you of the Metro (Still calling it that) UI from Windows Phone in many ways. At first glance, I was taken aback by the new UI. ![]() Twitterrific 5 uses the built in Twitter integration in iOS and also lets you add an account the old fashioned way. Even in this new form, the app is very much Twitterrific. The app has been completely rewritten from the ground up. Ever since then, the app has gone through 4 versions and we now have Twitterrific 5. And I’m sure most people experienced Twitter on their iOS device for the first time on Twitterrific. In iPad, iPhone Twitterrific 5 - The App That Started It All is Rebornīack in the day, Twitterrific was the first app I downloaded for Twitter on my second generation iPod touch. ![]()
