Best alternative to the official Twitter app
I have used the official Twitter app for years. I use it exclusively as a news feed.
But over the last year Twitter has been playing around more and more with how it displays my timeline. Since I use it as a news source Im interested in reading through the time line in order and not without intentionally skipping items.
The last straw was when Twitter indicated they would completely rearrange the timeline as they saw fit to "best fit my needs." Thats when I decided to explore alternatives.
Ive only been using Echofon for a few months. Its a simple and pretty clean viewer for Twitter.
I do miss some features from the official Twitter app like hoe easy it is to view conversations, and look at all the photos in a users Twitter stream. I also really miss being able to swipe up to dismiss an image.
One thing I was hating about Echofon was the constant nagging to post a review. I know I could make it stop nagging me permanently, but I did want to write one eventually. But it seemed like it was reminding me every day. So I gave in.
