Options available under settings are basic, immediately pushing Twitterrific out of the running for power users.

Also, there’s no way to make retweet with comment the default process for retweeting. Most importantly, I can’t access my direct messages in Twitterrific. So is Twitterrific worth the limited-time $2.99 price tag? Not unless you’re using the official Twitter app. If you already use Tweetbot or something similar, stick with it.I shared the following message with our Twitter team this morning /PTStPrUTsx- Rob Johnson AugOtherwise, I’d wait for a few more updates ( and another sale) before buying Twitterrific. The email said that despite the great run with the apps, Twitter now needs to focus on growing its own business. The email also said that the User Streams and Site Streams application programming interface tools - the way apps can talk with Twitter - that supported the core functions of some of the third-party apps have been around for nine years, and are so old that Twitter's new programs don't support them anymore. Talon, Tweetbot, Tweetings, Twitterific and other third-party developers have started a campaign, Apps of a Feather, to protest the API change. The campaign asks users to write to Twitter to complain about the change. However, the changes have been expected for months. Twitter said in April that it would delay its plan to pull support for apps such as Talon, Tweetbot, Tweetings and Twitterrific. The date for phasing out support, which would effectively cripple the third-party apps, was set for June 19. It was delayed to give developers "ample time to migrate to the new API," Twitter said. Gedeon Maheux, the lead designer of Twitterrific creator Iconfactory, said the API changes were regrettable though understandable. "App's like the Iconfactory's Twitterrific helped build Twitter's brand, our contributions were small to be sure, but real none-the-less." "We understand the spread of bots, spam and trolls by bad actors that exploit old APIs is bad for the entire Twitterverse," Maheux said in an email statement.
