TweetCaster Pro for Android gives you ad-free access to all of the basic Twitter features you know and love, along with a number of new functions to help improve your experience. Post updates, send direct messages, and share photos, videos, and links with your friends and followers--all in 140 characters or less. A variety of themes and built-in services let you customize the app to suit your needs.
All the familiar features--and more
Upon logging in with your free Twitter account, you'll be brought directly to a colorful, interactive version of your feed. Browse by swiping up or down, or jump straight to the latest updates with a single menu option. TweetCaster also provides filters, giving you other ways to view your feed. Unlike the free version of the app, TweetCaster Pro for Android is ad-free.
Select individual tweets to visit links, view photos, reply, re-tweet, mark as a favorite, or share via e-mail or SMS. If the tweet is part of an ongoing discussion between users, you can view the entire thread on its own or jump to specific profiles and hashtags. Click on users to view their profile, or communicate with them directly. Different views--such as mentions, favorites, direct messages, and lists--are easily navigable via icons on the menu bar.
When you're ready to jump in and tweet, you'll find crafting your updates to be simple and convenient. TweetCaster allows you to add a picture or video from galleries or directly from your device's camera. Built-in URL shortening is also available, and you can quickly add geotag information or the usernames of your contacts to your tweet. If you link your Facebook account, TweetCaster will update that profile as well.
Latest Innovations
TweetCaster Pro for Android brings several innovative features that make tweeting more enjoyable than ever. Hide annoying tweeters with Zip It, which enables you to remove users or trends from your feed without unfollowing them. Instapaper support lets you save long articles so you can read them later. Use Color Coding to personalize your own tweets and @replies with a custom color of your choosing.
Additional options
TweetCaster provides support for multiple Twitter accounts and a streamlined interface for switching between them. In addition, users can customize their experience with four different visual themes and three font-size options, or select from a number of URL-shortening or image and video uploading services. And, if you want to be notified when certain actions occur, a variety of choices are available to you, from background notifications for new tweets to vibrations for new direct messages.
Widgets
TweetCaster Pro for Android comes with two widgets: a small one that allows you to post updates from your mobile device's home screen, and a larger one which gives you a glimpse of the latest from your Twitter feed.

ReplyDeleteI have pretty much gone through all the Twitter clients and I like this one the best. My main needs are simultaneous posts to Twitter and Facebook as well as saving links to Instapaper...all included in this app. They have a free version and the ad at the bottom can be easily closed and only reappears when you reopen the app.

ReplyDeleteI have tried them ALL, and let me tell you- this one is the best. It is easy to customize the settings (feed view and colors).
Easy to make lists and switch back and forth to read all the different ones. The notification is wonderful! They have it set up to "zip" certain people- basically you don't see their tweets, but if they tweet you see a zipper. This way you can click and see what they said. Perfect for people you can't/don't want to unfollow, but are sick of their constant entering of contests, complaining, or such. :)
I love it,and don't regret paying for it all all. Great support and wonderful updates. My favorite app!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm a casual Twitter user who has tried Seesmic, Twidroyd and TweetDeck along with the official Twitter app and basically chose TweetCaster Pro as my Twitter client of choice. Seesmic was close to being my top pick, but the obscure buttons and extra clicks involved pushed me this way. Tweet Deck was too cluttered for me, and the official Twitter App should frankly be 1000x better. Twidroyd came with my phone and has a nice feature set but always seemed to be a bit buggier than the other Twitter clients. Ergonomically speaking, TweetCaster Pro is the one for me-its not perfect, but better (for me) than the rest. Is $5 too much? A little compared to other apps, but is $5 really too much to spend on something that you like?

ReplyDeleteThere are a number of free apps which provide all of the same functionality, including the official twitter app. Use a free app instead, please.
EDIT: I will try to make my review more fair as the comments have indicated I should.
This is a very fine Twitter client, if you use this Twitter client you will very likely be quite well pleased, it does everything a good Twitter client should do and it does them well. If this app were free, or even if it were 99 cents, it would be a four or five star app. It is a good Twitter client.
However, it is a $5 app. And, whether some people like it or not, price point is as important a feature as anything else. If the standard price point for the functionality provided is substantially lower than the competition you should, and will get dinged for it in a review. If there were any other $5 Twitter clients on the market, I could fairly compare them to this, as it is however most are free, and so I have to compare it to those.
One star.
