Ratings and reviews

New version is riddled with bugs. Keyboard won't pop up here and there, media uploads won't work properly if default browser is Firefox, and most annoyingly switching to another app then returning to Twitter Lite often ends up with a black screen that cannot be recovered from without force closing and restarting. App went from perfectly working to barely usable. Would be happy to provide proper bug reports, alas, no way of communication other than these ratings here to be found.

Worked perfectly in the past but for the last couple of months, the app doesn't even open anymore and is perma stuck at the starting screen with the big Twitter logo. Other people complained, too. No fix so far. It doesn't matter if un- & reinstall, deleting data, clearing cache, even factory resetting the whole device doesn't work.

lighter and less convenience. of course, it's slower. it's very slow in loading images or playing videos. and i always encounter this glitch or bug that whenever i click on a tweet, it instead shows the post above it! it freezes a lot more than Twitter, so i have to manually restart to application to work normally again. it works the same as the web version of Twitter, so i will use this as a complain to both sites.

What's new

We’ve completely rewritten Twitter Lite to be faster, more reliable, and up-to-date with new features – so you can enjoy all of the Twitter with less of the data.
