Ratings and reviews

Like it! Started looking around for a client that didn't mess my timeline up and this is so much better than the official app. One problem I've increasingly noticed is that media content posted by someone using "Twitter for Advertisers" does not show up in tweets, you have to do "Open in Browser" to see it (and unless the tweet refers to the media, it's not always obvious that there is media in the tweet). Update: All good things come to an end. X com blocking 3rd party wins out.

The bad news is that Twitter has blocked third party apps, so that function is gone. The good news is that Twidere is also a Mastodon client, and works well as that. Its ability to work with multiple accounts is handy if you're a member of more than one instance (swipe in from the left to open the panel, then Accounts, then "+" in the top right to add an extra account).

Looks ok, but lacking features like viewing images on timeline and likes given to me are not part of notification tab. Not sure if I will continue using it or not. No bookmark feature and the fact that you can't choose how to see tweets on your timeline if your have multiple accounts is a problem (you will see tweets from all the amounts you have. Switching account doesn't change the timeline).
