The best Twitter applications for Android - The Android Free

header Tiwtter clients

Twitter, the social network that has revolutionized everything and constantly keeps us hooked on our smartphones, day and night, informing us of everything that happens in the world while entertaining us with simple short messages, all using the official application at first, but thankfully the developers have been creating alternative applications that complement the shortcomings of official and in many cases offer new features to improve the user experience. Let’s do a review of the best customers for Twitter.

Twittercab

started with the official client how could it be otherwise, Twitter has been responsible for improving it go little by little and after the recent updates that incorporated Holo interface and gestures to navigate content, rich notifications and improvements to share pictures is still in the front line with the other customers. As we know, the application is divided into 4 sections: the Timeline, the column mentions and other interactions (retwitts, new followers, etc..) Discover column, where we can see the issues of the day, the activity of our supporters, recommendations etc.. And finally, our profile.

Twitter app android Supports multiple accounts and includes photographic filters for the images that we will publish at other not too configurable , but certainly the great feature of other customers lacking are the push notifications , but instead fails basic aspects such as preview images in the timeline.

If you’re looking to use Twitter, period, without frills or thousands of adjustments and maintaining the aesthetics which are used in the web version, this is your app.

And if that were not enough, this client has a very special feature, which is that is possible to add plug-ins to find on Google Play for free that will expand the possibilities eg translate with Google Translate tweets or shorten links with Karmacracy plugin. Here is the extensive review that we did.

plume cabecera2

dir=”ltr”>

is presented as a client for Twitter all in one, which is very hard to fault. visually renewed in the latest versions , clearing the interface was once much more recharged by the current information, with smooth lines and new themes and typography. Its interface is presented through a system columns between which we move through gestures .

By clicking on the upper right button (or swipe to right) side menu appears that has spread among both applications, where we have quick access to the search , favorites, trends, lists or our bills, because this does support more than one.

Plume app android

dir=”ltr”>

We also lets you manage columns displayed , adding, moving or removing as we want. In the Settings section about everything from adjusting the volume buttons to scroll or live streaming of tweets to vary the color of the messages who interests us, very complete.

Version: 5.21

INSTALL

Plume Premium for Twitter

LevelUp Studio

Requires Android 2.1 or higher

Version: 1.0.2

Size: 35k

INSTALL

I must admit that is one of my favorite clients, and if I have to put some sticks is that usually shows too often the message over-limit calls to Twitter surpassed and Premium version without ads, is too expensive (€ 4.41) .

falcon pro cabec2

Finally we have the client for Twitter created by Joaquim Vergès of which I have heard on many occasions, both by the great application that is, for the constant problems has had with the limitation of tokens (hits) that Twitter allows third-party applications. This has meant that the developer has had to remove it from Google Play and from now only possible download from a website entitled to do, this prevents new users register having reached the maximum allowed, but at least will continue to support and updates to the existing ones. You have all the details in this post.

Regarding the functions and features of this application on the latest updates from Falcon Pro was included multiaccounting support, new themes and icons performance improvements and other details along with the hard work done earlier, make it a very complete application , fast, fluid , with a sober and very nice interface, both in smartphones as tablets, and perfectly usable only lip , thanks to its lateral pulldown menus.

integrated browser has a very fast, with preview pictures and videos and integration with Instapaper, among other features.

Again is no longer available at Play , so that current users who want to stay current with updates should download it from the link below , but Joaquim has been reported that the news will not be as frequent as before.

And here this compilation of Twitter clients, you see the offer is very wide, There are many options like Tweetings , Tweetcaster, Hootsuite or Carbon (although takes too long without updating) and some others that I have left out, that even improve to complete the official application, although none becomes the perfect app for Android, all have their little details that will be decisive in our final choice as our preferences, while still waiting one that makes a difference as does TweetBot for iOS.

We do

is a shame is the growing constraints imposed Twitter these magnificent alternative customers, getting the great work of the developers remain clouded by absurd conditions.
