Ratings and reviews

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).

A good replacement for Tweetcaster, which I used for years but now won't install on my new phone. Simple, clear interface, no ads, fast, and useful facilities. The only downside is that update notifications don't work - I haven't had a single notification since installing. In fact, auto-update doesn't seem to work at all, but I'm not bothered about that as I'm happy to manually update on opening.

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).
