Love this. First Twitter app I've got no complaints about. Hopefully will get push notifications at some point, then I can ditch the official app entirely.

Too bad it's crashing on iPhone 3G. Hope this will be fixed with an update.

They were quite responsive on twitter and mentioned they've pushed an update.

Time to wait for it to appear on the App Store.

According to Twitter, it's not possible to innovate on clients any more; glad to see a company willing to prove otherwise. This is why I'm always against a platform company saying "don't build x" whether it's Twitter saying don't build clients or Apple saying don't build web browsers.

It has push notification via Boxcar http://tapbots.com/support/tweetbot/

Is Boxcar as good as the official app's push? Official app pushes as soon as the mention appears in my timeline, which is great

It looks nicer than most of the Twitter apps out there, but I don't think I'm leaving Echofon yet. I love the desktop/iPhone/iPad sync, built-in push notifications and muting capabilities.

(I know there's Boxcar, but I've seen friends have trouble unsubscribing from Boxcar effectively, that's a bit worrisome to me however fringe case it may be.)

Trouble unsubscribing from Boxcar? Delete the app.

TweetBot's also been in development for a long, long time. They had to put it on hold the first time, when Twitter bought Tweetie and put it out for free.

I've been logging my weight with their fantastic Weightbot for a couple years now. Great intuitive UX and graphic design. Fine work.
