Otherwise, the app is very usable – and shall be very handy to keep you connected on the go.
Also, sometimes refreshing the application can be a pain – as it will refuse to show the latest feed of tweets – and you will have to try at least 2-3 times before you get the latest feeds on your timeline.Īlso note, this requires a BIS/BES account when you are on the go or wi-fi connectivity. But, after testing the app on high end OS 7 phones, we do feel that the app performs mush better as those phones do justice to this heavy on memory resources app.
Otherwise also, when multitasking – it can get stuck with an hourglass when you navigate and try to refresh. I used this app regularly for a pretty long period of time, start ups are usually fast, and navigating within the app is also easy and simple – however where this app can possibly trouble the user is when it comes to multitasking – one a low end Blackberry when Twitter runs along with other apps, it tends to stall at times, which requires the painful process of a hard reboot. The interface is very user friendly and even a novice can use it with ease. Once that is done, it shall all be a matter of few hours with the app, and you will be at ease with it – the main sections of Twitter are divided on the app using small buttons on the top – which are very easy to get around with and include : Timeline, Mentions, Messages, Lists, Trends, Search and Profile.Įach tab is self explainatory and the profile tab is where you control your profile from, for general settings you have to hit the options key which pulls up a menu where you can go to settings and optimize the app to your comfort.
Overall I can say – that RIM has done a good job with the design, simple yet subtle and user friendly.įirst things first, installation of this app from the app world was fairly simple and quick too, you will need to log in with your usual username/email and password – and also grant appropriate permission to the app before you can use it. The colors go well with the native colors of Twitter.
