I’m sure every software has some improvements can be made, but This post is all about tweetie. What do you like tweetie app for iphone to have on the next version?

1. Scroll to the newest tweet

Though tweetie can remember the last position where you left the app, it doesn’t automatically go to the first new tweet, where as twitterfon does this well and also added a new shortcut in which you can tap the “Friends” on the tab bar to accomplish this.

2. Conversation view

You can view which tweet does the reply meant to by tapping the bottom right “In reply to @user”, but it’s better to include conversation view instead.

3. Badge number / Different color for new tweets

I just think this is important, especially for Replies & DM. I don’t need to go there if there isn’t any.

4. Groups

This is probably useful for those who follow hundreds or maybe thousands users.

5. Shortcuts

I like the way tweetie make use of the swipe gesture, but I also prefer that in twitterfon, I can tap directly on the profile pic for reply (which I know not useful if the user turn off profile pic in the options and swipe gesture is great to have), the username for the user’s profile and a link/URL without going to the individual tweet view. I would like to have the above as options and in tweetie defense, I guess it’s easier to tap on a larger area. I’m sure tweetie will come out with more interesting shortcuts.

6. Options / Settings

I am hoping that I can rearrange the tabs just like in iPod app. Also maybe set the “More” tab to go directly to trends or other options (twitterfon has this control). Tweetie also need to add landscape orientation for its in-app browser.

7. Push Notifications

Currently I’m using IM+ for pushing my replies/DM but it’s also important for tweetie to have this available (since in 3.0, it’s all about PN)

Currently for single user or if you are still new on twitter, I still recommend twitterfon free edition (ads supported), but according to @tweetie timeline, there’s an upcoming release in progress, so we have to see what tweetie is bringing to the table, once again, to defend it’s popularity as top paid app in Social Networking category. I hope all of the above are implemented on the next version.
