New App Icon too: (Tweetbot 4 on the left, Tweetbot 3 on the right)
iOS 9 Required.
Good to know. I'm still on my jailbroken 5S on 8.4.
Yeah, I tried to buy it on my iOS 8.4 5s and got the notification. If yours wasn't jailbroken, would you update to iOS9?
Yea, if I wasn't jailbroken, I'd definitely upgrade to iOS 9.
You can purchase this (and take advantage of the sale) through iTunes (that's what I did). Then you'll have it when iOS 9 is jailbroken.
I am glad no one around here is complaining about the upgrade price tag :)
I just thought "what, you have to pay for that?" In my eyes it's not more than a minor upgrade. Will likely skip this one.
Insta-bought! Looking forward to using this on an iPad Pro!
Great new name for a site with all the tools you really really belive in: insta-bought
Haha, most definitely!
Stats and activity view is worth the price alone!
I got access to https://analytics.twitter.com/ awhile back. I think it just uses the APIs there. It's cool that it's in Tweetbot now.
That data [analytics] hasn’t been available to third-party Twitter clients ever since the company moved away from a basic mentions stream, but Tapbots has engineered its own Activity solution in what co-founder Paul Haddad tells me was "tons of work."
The Verge : Tweetbot 4 is the new best way to use Twitter on iOS
Good to know. Thanks for the link!
I'm not seeing any option to have notifications in this version, but I like all of the other updates I've experienced so far.
Settings > Account Settings > {{ username }} > Notifications :)
Thank you!
Really useful statistics tab!
Happy to pay £3 a year for something I use so often which is so well made - but it's really frustrated me both times that my settings can't be kept from tweetbot 2 > 3 and 3 > 4. Setting up default clients, brightness settings etc is tedious, it should be importable or automatic.
Anyone still using the default client? Or is that just me?
Still? I don't think I ever have. :D There’s too many good alternatives.
I used Tweetbot and Twitterific over the last 2 years, but tried out the default client again a few months back and am loving it. Sure, it doesn't have the same number of 'pro' features... but I find the experience far more consistent than any 3rd party client. (:
That’s fair enough. I absolutely love Tweetbot though.
I like it. I ain't scared.
Yeah I use it. Is it still the only one you can receive favourite notifications?
No, TB4 now shows favs and retweets in the activity stream.
Heads up: Tweetbot 3 is gone for good if you delete it. I made a mistake and bought Tweetbot 4.
Strange that it’s completely gone, even from the Purchased list. You may wanna contact them about that—I don’t think they intended that to be the case
There was a bug in the App Store that didn't show removed apps in the purchased tab that Apple has fixed now. What you're seeing might relate to that?
Unfortunately still not seeing it. I'll check back later today. Thanks Marc.
I have the previous version of tweetbot, is there any compelling reason to pay for this newer version (other than it's new)?
Major noticeable things are:
The main reason for me is that its new for the iPad. I'd say that if you only use it on a phone there's probably not as many reasons to upgrade. Although, my other biggest reason is just to support Tapbots since I use Tweetbot more than any other app on my phone.
Love this.
I've noticed people bitching on Twitter about the price of the app, it's disgusting. Throw Tapbots a bone, they work their butts off to polish these products.
Yeah, if you actually want to keep using it, the price is small and means there’s a good chance they'll keep working on it. Because, with the way things are with third party Twitter apps, once they're gone, they're likely gone forever.
