Over the past couple of months I've been using both Twitterfon, and Twitterific on my iPhone to read and update Twitter posts.
I have to say if I had to choose only of the two it would be a hard decision to make.
Although they have the same basic functionality I find that I enjoy some of the features more than others.
TwitterFon is a free App from the App Store. The choice of colour makes the Tweets easy to read, not a whole lot of eye straining going on. Composing Tweets, adding photo's and referencing friends is really easy.
I love the fact that at the bottom of the page there are little notification bubbles telling you how many tweets have been posted, how many responses you have and even how many DM's you get.
Awesome platform and easy to use.
Twitterific is also a free App and can be found along with other Twitter Apps in the App Store.
The theme is dark, black background, with light coloured text. Sometimes easy to read but not always. The tweets load on start just like TwitterFon, but you don't know how many posts have been made since your last visit, and you don't know if you've had any responses untill you scroll through all the Tweets.
Responses are a different colour so you can pick them out of the crowd.
Responding in Twitterific is only slighly more involved but the added features are awesome.
The one feature that I love most is the "Add map link to your Tweet". Sometimes I want people to know where I am when I'm posting. This is not available on TwitterFon.
My only peve where Twitterific is concerned is the Ad content, I know it's how the developers make money, but I don't want to see it.
If I could Combine the Two I would. I would absolutely get rid of the Adds, and keep the format of TwitterFon, and would keep the map link from Twitterific. If I could add a feature to both it would be to have the ability to personlize the theme. Sometimes I like the dark background, and sometimes I don't.
I know I'm strange but what can I say.
Check them out and see what's best for you.
