Today I bought Tweetie app for iPhone, for $2.99. I still prefer TwitterFon over Tweetie after having played with a new app for some time.
- TwitterFon highlights new messages and places a badge when updates arrive.
- Smaller font of TwitterFon allows to read more.
- TF displays dates in a easily readable form (e.g. ‘5 min ago’).
Though, TwitterFon isn’t quite as good as Tweetie sometimes:
- Worse link management: it’s hart to tap on a small blue circle.
- Manages the only account.
- Can’t find users by name, so it’s hard to follow new users.
- Doesn’t have an option to make a web link to your current geolocation.
