Twitterific is an application that lets you read and post to the social network site Twitter. The free version of Twitterific is ad supported, but there is also a premium version available for $9.99. Twitter users will feel right at home using Twitterific. The main screen is a scrollable list of your friends recent “Tweets”, complete with avatars. One of the things that I noticed is that the scrolling action of the list is a bit jerky. I think this is due to Twitterific rendering and re-rendering the avatars as you scroll. While this issue does detract from the aesthetics of the application it has no effect on usability.
When you select the Post action in Twitterific, you are presented with a pop over input screen that covers about 3/4 of the screen you were viewing. From the Post screen you can update your location, attach a photo, or post a “Tweet”. If you select the Locate icon, your profile location will be updated with your current longitude and latitude. The Photo option allows you to select a photo from your Photo Album which is automatically uploaded to Twitpic and the corresponding URL is inserted in to the text area.
I think it’s safe to say that Twitterific is a must have application for die hard Twitter users.
