Falcon Pro is really a king of Twitter apps for Android users. Great look and best option for tweeting.

Is there an app that lets you get tweets from your lists as notificationa?

Might I suggest that for those who install, end up not liking it and uninstall, go into your Twitter settings and revoke access for the app to free up the token? Now that 3rd-party Twitter apps are limited to 100,000 users, it seems a common courtesy to free up a token for an app you’re not using.

Soooo, I’ve been using Tweetcaster forever. I don’t actually do much tweeting (mostly just for contests) but do follow a few people on Twitter. Any reason to use this over Tweetcaster? Anything that would be better for my situation?

Do the filters for hashtags and usernames and keywords work as a mute? If so, I’m leaving Tweetcaster and their ZipIt. I would LOVE a keyword mute!

Falcon Pro is definitely the best one out there. Great app. Tried Carbon for a bit but came back to Falcon pretty quickly.

The Twitter app seems outdated and doesn’t take full advantage of Android’s coding techniques… like swiping to a new screen versus pressing a button..

Carbon is nice but late… FalconPro is my favorite client right now.. Really outside of the animations all I see is a bunch of missing features…

Am I missing something or is there no widget for this?

Why? What does it do better? I’m not trolling, I’m genuinely wondering as I haven’t used Plume in a couple years.

I agree. That internal browser is a killer feature.

No inline images, can’t view Instagram images within the app, no link previews, no unread counts, doesn’t display the Twitter client that tweets were posted from, no TweetMarker support, no tablet version, no dark theme. I’m sure I would find more things wrong with it if I actually used it regularly, but those things are the reasons why I don’t.

I like that it supports multiple accounts, unlike Falcon Pro.

Both apps annoyingly cut off images in the timeline so you have to drill down into the image to see the whole thing. Carbon is a little better at it but I don’t understand why they don’t just show the whole image inline.

I don’t like that Carbon doesn’t show you how many tweets you have left as you are scrolling up.

I prefer Falcon Pro’s conversation view, because it’s listed in chronological order. Carbon’s is in reverse chronological order, so if you want to read a conversation you have to scroll to the bottom and work your way up. That’s weird.

Other than that, it’s a pretty nice looking Twitter app and I will definitely keep it installed.

I think I am also not getting notifications every 15 minutes, but that might be because my MESSAGES was off in the settings for notifications.
