Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

I've found that Boxcar's push is more reliable than any other Twitter clients' push, including the official client.

There's certainly some nice features, and it's a nice UI. But I much prefer Twitter clients that show more tweets on the screen at once. The large location and retweet-info bars mean I see about 30% fewer tweets in some parts of my timeline compared to other apps, even with the small font size set. Anyone find this is an immediate turn-off for a twitter app?

I haven't tried TweetBot yet, but I have also rejected other Twitter clients for not showing enough tweets in the timeline view.

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.

Sorry, trouble unregistering services with Boxcar. He'd turn off notifications, but they'd keep on coming.
