I may be one of the few who like the official Twitter app for Android. Compared to most third-party Twitter apps, it has a cleaner looking UI. I'd go for clean and beautiful UI over functional clients like HootSuite or Tweetcaster any day. With that being said, wouldn't it be great if a Twitter client had a nice user interface but still was functional? Well my friends, you probably haven't meet Boid for Twitter.
Boid for Twitter is a unique Twitter client that takes advantage of Ice Cream Sandwich and makes use of its - must I say - overly used Swipe gesture. With just a swipe, you can access different tabs/columns which includes Profile, Direct Messages, Home, Mentions, Trends, and Favorites from left to right.
Incredible UI
On the top are icons for the tabs/columns previously mentioned.
On the bottom, you'll find on-screen navigational buttons which change depending which tab you are on. You can basically post tweets, search for tags and users, and hit refresh on all tabs.
Option to send direct messages and access your profiles vary with the opened tab.
So yeah, Boid for Twitter supports multiple accounts.
Twitter updates for all accounts will be unified on the Home column.
Assign colors to your profiles to help distinguish tweet updates from different accounts. Just select the profile from the Profile Column and choose from blue, purple, black, and yellow among many others.
Set the default column.
Whenever you launch Boid, you will be immediately taken there.
Pull to refresh.
Add/Delete a column.
Change the theme.
Currently limited to Dark, Light, and Dark and Light.
Post tweets longer than 140 characters.
The app supports Twtmore.
So far, only phones running ICS are compatible with the app. So if you have a non-ICS phone, you won't see it on Google Play no matter what you do. And may I remind you that Boid for Twitter is still on Alpha which means it could have few bugs here and there. The latest version is stable though. No force closing of any sort :-) Also worth mentioning is the fact that the Boid team is actively pushing out updates throughout each week. Last week's bugs could be this week's fix.
What are you waiting for? Go download it at Google Play for free! Boid for Twitter may be on Alpha but it sure looks like its nearing its final release. For more information, feel free to visit the Boid for Android website. And if you're wondering what the team has in store for Boid, you might as well check their roadmap too. Hope you like Boid just as much as I do ;-)

ReplyDelete@Aidan: Hey Aidan :) Do you have an estimate when the final build of Boid will be released? I read that Carbon is already releasing a final build this June 22 :( I think they're a competition of yours.
