Echofon vs twitter3/11/2023 This is a great app and a perfect companion for anyone that uses Twitter religiously on the go.Įchofon is the fastest, most powerful Twitter app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and the ONLY free app with Push Notifications and Inline Photo Previews!**********Lightning Fast. That said, every single feature is included with the app and it runs smoothly even in trial mode. The free version of Echofon for Twitter is ad supported and like most ad-supported apps, the banner can be intrusive and eat up a lot of screen space. You'll wonder why you were using another Twitter client until now. The interface is intuitive and clean, and on the iPad especially, it looks exceptional. Plus it has a sleep timer so your phone won't buzz off the nightstand while you are asleep. It also syncs your tweets across all devices, so if you read it on one device you will know you've read it on another. To start, it allows you to quickly and easily cycle between multiple Twitter accounts. That's why the well-constructed Echofon for Twitter is such a welcome addition to the field.īy no means a perfect Twitter app, Echofon for Twitter still manages to be one of the better options on the App Store. Viewing images and videos often sends you to other apps, notifications don't always work properly, and Twitter options may be buried a few menus deep. Integrating dozens of different features, these tools allow you to interact with and manage your tweets quickly and easily across multiple devices. T2 is only $3 while EP goes for $5.There are a lot of Twitter clients for iOS. However, its feature list dwarfs that of EP, so if you want the one that has all the bells and whistles (with a couple minor caveats) then I’d suggest Tweetie 2. For instance, swiping a particular tweet will pull up a menu that lets you retweet, email, open a link, etc., which is extremely helpful for power users. EP is more straight forward and gives you the bare bones functions while T2 requires a tiny bit of experimenting to figure out what gestures it recognizes. My default app is Tweetie 2 because of how well it’s organized and streamlined, but I prefer the way Echofon Pro displays new versus old tweets. The list could go on forever with each app, but I felt these were the most pertinent based on how I use Twitter. Difficult to tell which tweets are new and which ones are old Doesn’t sync with desktop app (but it’s coming.) Retweets are pushed out without additional comment Support for Lists including creating, editing, etc. “My Profile” is only accessible from the mentions tab Push notifications are sporadic (I think every 15 minutes) Unable to natively send links within tweets Settings are not embedded within the app Difference in color between new and old tweets But each offers something entirely unique to the experience that makes them both so compelling. Both are full featured and do the basics: tweet, retweet, ability to upload images/videos, geotag, instapaper integration, support for multiple accounts and so on.

With a slew of free ones that are mostly crap and a handful of paid apps, it’s difficult to discern if any are worth the money. Like everything else in Apple’s App Store there’s an absurd amount of apps dedicated to the free service. But so much information is readily available on Twitter that it’s become an undeniable necessity amongst Internet junkies. (But that has nothing to do with this review at all.)
