Ok so I’ve been using Tweetie 2 for just over 24 hours now and here’s my initial thoughts compared to Twittelator Pro.
Tab bar
- While Tweetie 2 now informs you that new tweets have arrived since the last time you launched, it doesn’t show you how many.
- Whereas Twittelator Pro actually shows you the number of tweets which have arrived since the last time you launched it.
Tweet confirmation
Twittelator Pro displays a pop-up notification letting you know that your tweet has been sent. Tweetie 2 doesn’t give you any confirmation that the tweet has been sent and this is a problem when tweeting photos or large videos.
Attached photos
I also prefer the way Twittelator Pro displays attached photos:
- Tweetie 2 indicates attached photos with this icon.
- Twittelator Pro shows an in-line preview of any attached photos.
- Tweetie 2 has no ability to ‘hide’ users.
- Tweetie 2 now supports TextExpander when composing tweets which is great, however I’ve noticed if you use this feature it results in a 4 second hang or lag each time you press ‘reply’ or ‘new tweet’.
Without a doubt both are great Twitter clients, for UI Tweetie 2 wins hands down (the way you refresh tweets is just pure class) but if you’re looking for a feature rich client Twittelator is the winner IMHO.
I’ve used both clients rather alot. I’m a sucker for buying all of the latest ‘pro’ Twitter clients for the iPod touch. I’ve tried about 30 or so now, and these are my top ones… 1) Echofon Pro 2) SimplyTweet3) Twittelator Pro4) Tweetie 25) Twitterrific
