Ratings and reviews

It crashes sometimes, the screen goes flickering white and black, it's kinda scary. Also, I miss the non-lite feature of saving my feed scroll position, I wonder if it takes much more space to add that feature, but anyway that's not a big deal. On the other hand, I find the "home" button on top of the screen to be somehow annoying, it often makes me lose my feed position by accidentally pressing it. Maybe make it smaller. It's not that bad after all, but it could be better.

I think the lite version is very good. But there is still some area that need to be fix. First, when i push the menu button on the top left corner, the menu show up kinda slow, laggy. Then the second one is, when i scroll down someone's tweet quite long, then i push and see the tweet, but after push the back button, the position is back to the first tweet. I hope u can fix this. If the problem fix, it will be awesome.

Some time ago twitter added this feature, when you open application once in a while and get lots of annoying notifications "in case you missed". Lots of people hate it but no one have found a way to turn it off. Option "see less often" doesn't work. For me that ruins everything. There's no sense in communicating with friends if every time you anticipate an answer you get another one "in case you missed".
