#Tweetbot 3 for iphone archive
With extensions available in my Twitter timeline, I can quickly save links to Pinner, archive them in Evernote, and even pin Twitter photos to Pinterest – tap & hold a tweet with photos, bring up the Pinterest extension, and it’ll scan the tweet for images.Īny read-later app can now be integrated natively with Tweetbot thanks to the share sheet. In testing Tweetbot 3.5, I’ve noticed that I now tend to use Twitter favorites less as temporary bookmarks and more as real favorites for tweets I like. I turned Twitter favorites into an inbox because it was hard to share links quickly on iOS. Over the years, I developed a habit of marking tweets I found interesting as favorites so I could later go through all of them and manually bookmark them on Pinboard, add them to Evernote, or save them to other apps. Tweetbot featured support for Instapaper, but its integrations stopped at read-later services. I discover apps, products, and great reads thanks to Twitter, but neither the old Tweetbot or Twitter’s app allowed me to act on those links right away with no friction. I probably spend too much time on Twitter, but I can’t deny that the people and websites I follow give me a consistent amount of interesting links I use for articles, MacStories Weekly, and podcasting. Every time you tap & hold a tweet/link or hit the share icon in your timeline or a web view, Tweetbot 3.5 will open the iOS 8 share sheet. With iOS 8, Tapbots has decided to fully embrace extensions (abandoning the custom contextual menu they had built for Tweetbot 3) by switching to Apple’s share sheet for action and share extensions. What’s changing today in Tweetbot is the action menu for tweets and links. The app hasn’t changed considerably – it has evolved in expected ways and within the limitations imposed by Twitter’s API for third-party apps. Unfortunately, third-party apps can’t access the quick reply feature found in Apple’s Messages app: like Twitter, tapping the Reply button in a notification won’t let you reply immediately but it’ll take you to Tweetbot instead.įrom a visual perspective, Tweetbot 3.5 looks and works the same, keeping the foundation that Tapbots introduced with Tweetbot 3 last year.
Tweetbot 3.5 looks great on the iPhone 6, and its new notifications allow me to quickly mark a tweet as favorite without opening the app.
