Version 6 continues that theme with three new home screen icon choices (Crow, Dove, and Neon - I have been loving Neon during the beta), five new themes (Dove, Akikiki, Puffin, Falcon, and Parakeet, twelve new “Olliemoji” iMessage stickers, a new font, and a few new display customizations. Twitterrific has always offered customizations to its experience, leaning heavily into one of its tag lines: Twitter your way. Twitterrific also embraces Twitter’s new ability to add media to tweets that contain quote tweets, as well as viewing said tweets properly. And you can swipe between multiple attachments to quickly add descriptions. Now you can tap the thumbnail for attached media to see it larger and add accessibility descriptions - even to videos and GIFs. Speaking of the composer, it’s media capabilities have been revamped. I’m fond of the built-in filters for Reactions, Memes, and Swear Trek. If you like to add GIFs to your tweets, there is a new GIF button in the composer that integrates with GIPHY. Image thumbnails now display at the photo’s native aspect ratio. Also, autoplay can be disabled in the settings if you prefer that. If they do contain sound, a speaker icon is shown so you aren’t surprised if you tap it. Videos and GIFs now silently autoplay in the timeline and direct message threads. Media MattersĪ great deal of the improvements are related to media handling. This new version of Twitterrific is CHOCK-full of experience enhancements that make Twitter usable and - dare I say - enjoyable. Today is the next perch in Ollie’s journey with the release of Twitterrific 6.0 for iOS. The design was completely overhauled for iOS 7 and tweaked frequently to stay fresh, features have ebbed and flowed as Twitter has given and taken away, and like a Phoenix from the ashes Twitterrific made its triumphant return to the Mac. Twitterrific has seen a lot of changes in that time. 6 years ago this site had a different name and domain, iOS 7’s new design language hadn't yet been revealed, and iPhones still had tiny screens. Looking back at my own review confirmed its vintage. There’s simply no way Twitterrific 5 is 6 years old. When my friends at The Iconfactory said that Twitterrific 5 on iOS was released 6 years ago and has had 86 free updates, I almost didn’t believe them.
