Twitterific 2 (iPhone)

They whipped out Photosop big-time to counter Tweetie, and it shows; more importantly, the interface is smooth (finally) and, contrary to what I thought when I saw the preview, very well designed. I think I just might switch back.

Not gonna write a detailed review since you’re all going to download it anyway, just noting two gripes: tapping your name in the top toolbar shows your profile, getting in the way of tapping the statusbar to scroll back to the top of the list; and, for some reason, once you’ve tapped to select a tweet, you have to swipe to deselect, which is absurd.

I don’t like that it took them the arrival and success of Tweetie to realize that they needed to fix their crusty old Twitter clients, but I’m nevertheless quite curious to see what Twitterific 2 for Mac is going to look like.
