TweetTime for iPad – iPad App Review
TweetTime for iPad – iPad App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
TweetTime for iPad ($2.99)
Version 1.2
Review – “A great Twitter app for the iPad that gives you many of the advanced options that you’re missing!”
I love Twitter. I love to talk and contribute my random 140 character comments out to the world. Following me on Twitter can sometimes become an extreme sport. With that being said, having a nice Twitter app on my iPad was one of my top priorities.
TweetTime for iPad is developed by Dong-Wook Kim and is a great Twitter client. It offers many of the advanced features that users like myself want to have within their reach. At the same time, the app is very clean, eye appealing, and easy to navigate.
First of all, the app is written with a dark theme, which is a very popular request among Twitter app users. It of course works in both portrait and landscape modes. Portrait mode presents your timeline across the screen while rotating it into landscape not only shows your timeline but it also includes quick links to items such as Home, Mentions, Messages, Trends, and so on (see the screenshot below).
Clicking on a tweet will open it up into a new mini-window, which gives you options such as seeing a user’s profile, marking as a favorite, sending a DM, replying, and retweeting (although it is the old style retweeting). You can continue to drill down into the different links for even more options. When you want to send a new tweet you have the option to add in media from your photo library, URL shortening, and adding in your current location.
In addition, TweetTime for iPad has built in many of the nice Twitterfeatures such as list support (both your lists and lists you subscribe to), current Trends (which can be seen by current, daily, or weekly), multiple account support, and many other great additions.
Here is a listing of the features included in this version of TweetTime for iPad (taken from the developer’s list):
- Supporting multiple twitter accounts.
- Managing your twitter home, replies, direct messages and favorites.
- Trends Viewer.
- Searching Twitter.
- Searching a user.
- Viewing other user’s timeline, favorites, and profile information.
- My profile
- Landscape Keyboard support.
- Hash tag support.
- Posting a tweet.
- Reply support.
- RT support.
- Sending and receiving direct messages.
- Uploading photos from your photo library.
- Uploading your location with Google Map.
- Follow, Unfollow users.
- Block/Unblock users.
- Mark/Unmark favorite tweets.
- Built-in web browser to view web links.
- Built-in URL shortening.(Paste or type URLs as many as you want, and then tap URL button.)
- ‘In reply to’ feature. (You can keep tracing all the replies till the end.)
- Shows the number of new tweets when you log back in.
- Supporting OAuth for Authentication for Twitter Server.
- Saving draft of the tweet if you cancel composing tweet. And you can continue to compose it continuously when you re-composing tweet.
- Geotagging Support. You can post geotagged tweets. (Go to Twitter.com, change your setting for enable geotagging to use this feature.)
- Official List Support. Create List, Delete List, Add users to your own list, and subscribe other users’ list.
- Deleting tweets you posted.
- Uploading medias support 2 different modes.
In a future version release, I’d like to see the addition of the new RT Style accessible within the retweet link. Also, it would be nice if my tweets and possibly the @ replies directed to me were color coded so that they stood out from the other tweets in my timeline.
Overall, TweetTime for iPad is a solid Twitter app that comes is a great, clean, easy to use format, while packing in many of the in depth features that power Twitter users crave.
TweetTime for iPad is currently selling in the App Store for $2.99 and this app will be a great addition to your iPad collection. Head on over to the App Store and pick up your copy .. you won’t be sorry!

SimplyTweet 3 – iPhone App Review
MyStatusMonkey Organizes Your Social Networking Posts
MyStatusMonkey Organizes Your Social Networking Posts is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $.99 Score: 9/10 By Nancy Jones
The iPhone has made keeping up with your social media contacts easier than ever. You can, one at a time, open the apps for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tuenti, Bebo and iWikiPhone and post whenever you want. That’s not difficult, right? However, it gets even easier. With MyStatusMonkey, developed by iwikiphone.com, you can update all of your accounts at once, all from the one app. Cyber communication just took a leap forward.
Developed with input from the user community, this app has an appealing (no pun intended) icon of a happy monkey face. When you open MyStatusMonkey you see a text box and are ready to start typing. However, before you can send out any messages, you need to go to the settings screen and click “connect” for each of your social networks and enter your sign-on information and passwords. Then, whenever you want to send a message, the app has the information it needs to sign on, and post messages.
Prompts appear as you type your message to show how many characters you have left. The font is very legible. Once you finish typing, you just click, “update status” and the screen changes to the icons for the various social network sites. The icons shimmy as the updates go out. The message, Success! Everything is done!” is your confirmation that your latest inspirational thoughts are live and ready for comments from your friends and followers. You can then go back to the main screen and create another message.
Most iPhone app reviews require long explanations and examples devoted to how to use each feature. This app has two screens – settings and update status. Clearly, the user community that helped develop this app provided excellent feedback to the developer. There is no need for a FAQ page because the app has one function and does it well. You will find one screen devoted to iWikiphone. It is equivalent to an “about” screen on the internet.
My only suggestion for improvement is to add a screen or functionality that allows you to go to the social media sites within this app so you can see your postings.
Some apps end up in the wilderness of my iPhone screens. MyStatusMonkey will stay in the active category. It is so easy to post a message and I can see I will be posting more often. That, I believe, is the purpose of social media, to encourage us to communicate with each other. On all counts, the app is a success. Any app that saves me time is an app that I must have. Is making your life easier worth 99 cents? My answer is yes.
MyStatusMonkey is compatible with iPhone, iPad touch or iPad and requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.
