Some of the elements make you think "Why is it like that?", not "Why would it be any other way?". While a lot of the custom controllers are very pretty, and make you say "Wow" the first time you see them, they don't replace the idea of good design which will make you say "Wow" every time. For example, the tab bar at the bottom of your timeline or the "drop down" menus when you press something like "Services". You'll notice a lot of custom elements within the application. Tweetie's main design decision seems to be "How much of this can we write ourselves?". Then when you come to view the tweets on another device/client, you'll be able to keep up from where you left off.
Echofon for macbook for mac#
If you use Echofon for Mac or Echofon for Firefox, then Echofon will sync the last tweet that you read to its cloud. It uses up battery due to the extra connection, and just doesn't seem that necessary when I'm connected nearly all the time anyway.Īnother feature that appears in the premium version, is the ability to sync unread tweets between the different version of Echofon. I've never used push notifications on my iPhone, I just don't see the need for it. The second major premium feature is push notifications. The new darker navigation bar is depressing. The blue was very nice, and gave the application a friendliness that I really enjoyed. The decision to move to grey was, in my opinion, a bad one. The multi-account feature is accessed by tapping the, now grey, navigation bar. The other main two features are push notifications and multi-account support.
Echofon for macbook upgrade#
The main reason to upgrade is to remove the advertising, which in-itself is probably worth the upgrade. The additional features just don't seem to be anything I really care about. The premium version of Echofon really disappoints me. Thank you to for pointing out how wrong I was. As well as this, the button also has two lines of text which isn't consistent with a navigation controller's back button. The button below looks odd, and doesn't exactly match the back buttons that the shape is usually associated with. The idea of taking an existing UI element and changing it into something you need does seem sensible, but you have to wonder why Apple haven't done it themselves nor anybody else. One thing I've started to really dislike about Echofon is the invention of a forward button in the title bar. While the need to differentiate between a premium version and a standard version is necessary, i'm not fully sure that this was the best option, even if it is very effective (I bought the premium version). Since then, it's added adverts, which I can understand. These draft tweets are even saved across each account.Įchofon was one of the first iPhone apps that I really started to use. Many Mac users will recognise this concept, and it is very welcoming to see it. However, Birdfeed notifies you that a tweet has been partially written by using the icon placed below. In other Twitter clients this tweet would be disregarded, or left in the tweet box for next time. One of my favourite features in this app is from when you close a tweet midway through writing it. This is a feature that many Twitter clients seem to ignore. When viewing your own tweets, you have the ability to delete them. The tweet view is very pretty, although scrolling can lag slightly. There's just not enough there.īirdfeed has several features that I absolutely adore. While Birdhouse is on the list, I couldn't think of anything to say about it. I'd like to comment on the following apps:Įchofon, Tweetie, Twitterific Premium, Twittelator Pro, Tweetdeck, Birdfeed and Echofon Pro. During this time, I've been doing some market research and looking into the other iPhone apps.
Echofon for macbook update#
This will be released as an update with no extra cost. While working at Twitterfall, we've been developing a new iPhone application to replace the current one.
