Love it! Had it on my iPhone. Glad to see it here. Is there a way to remove the ad? A donation or something?

omg sorry one more thing- echofon is better at just simply going to a user instead of having to search the username.

I’ve got Tweetcaster on my phone too, but I use echofon on desktop and firefox because it is just so much easier to view conversations or general “in reply to’s.” It also has a “no retweets” function that is good for those celebrities or athletes that constantly RT desperate fans.

Otherwise, yeah, Tweetcaster is better at multi-user support since you can easily toggle between where you are tweeting from, whereas on echofon, you have to actually switch between accounts.

Around 1 – 2 years ago when I switched from iPhone 4 to Incredible S, I was dreaming to have an Echofon-like client in Android. Now it really comes true, and even not Echofon-like but a real Echofon!

AdFree removes the ad for me.

Too bad the 100,000 API key limit prevents any of these from being available for everyone.

I love this app. I bought it on my iPhone 3G 3 years ago. Glad to see it come to android.

Agreed! Funny how the photos above don’t show any ads!

Echofon has push notifications I believe. I find it very hard to believe that the only other Android twitter app with push notifications is the official one.

Tweetcaster Pro for me. Haven’t found a reason to switch.

Remind me at the next DroidLife Q&A to ask: What are some good Android-related Twitter accounts I should be following?

Is there a tablet interface? So far, nothing rivals Plume for a great tablet Twitter app.

I’ll be interested as soon as there’s an ad-free version — the banner ad at the top of the screen destroys the aesthetic experience of this app.
