I don’t guarantee that every Twitter client is listed here, only the best-known ones.
👻 Touiteur – the app has vanished from Google Play without a trace.
-Even when the program is not in memory, it still notifies you about new tweets. It probably works with a shared or invisible service, I don’t know Android that well.
-It was the only program I tried that was able to determine my location.
DMs… the displayed page is not highlighted in any way
The program picked a different color for each user and uses it as the background of their tweets
Writing a new tweet. It was the only Twitter client I tried that was able to send my location too.
Homeline…tweets get colored backgrounds here too.
The program seems to have everything the official Twitter client has.
👻 Tweeq – the app has vanished from Google Play without a trace.
-I didn’t feel like entering my username and password into the program, so I don’t know whether it notifies you about new tweets/mentions etc., or whether it uses a dedicated or a shared service for that.
I didn’t feel like giving the program my username and password, so the homeline is completely empty.
The program menu. Under More there is nothing important apart from the settings, so people who use Twitter to the fullest probably won’t be satisfied with this program.
The program settings in all their glory.
👻 TweetCaster – the app has vanished from Google Play without a trace.
-The program loads a resident service into memory, probably to receive tweets even after the program is closed. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop this service.
The main screen of the program
I’m not going to give my username and password to anyone, let them authorize me via OAuth.
The button for adding the location does nothing.
👻 TweetDeck – the app has vanished from Google Play without a trace.
-The program loads a resident service into memory, probably to receive tweets even after the program is closed. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop this service. This seems to be the only service here that also starts when the phone boots up.
This is what the program looks like after launch
Friends – the screen under the second button
After clicking All friends, it starts loading probably everyone I follow and sorts them alphabetically.
The third button “+” adds a new column based on a search
The 4th button shows the most recently displayed map.
HOM
The settings are odd – the Light and Vibrate tabs refused to show up at all, while Notify and Sound get added to the page.
This is found in the menu under “Account“. So if you are looking for something multi-social, this will be the right choice.
(Official) Twitter
-The program loads a resident service into memory, probably to receive tweets even after the program is closed. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop this service.
-You can search with respect to your location, which cannot be determined
-When searching, you only get
20 results anyway and not a single one more.
-The search remembers what I searched for
-You can search for tweets or people
The main menu of the program.
I think the buttons are pretty self-explanatory – reply, retweet, fav and sharing through every channel the phone supports.
Twitter keeps telling me “location cannot be determined”, which is a real shame. The 3 buttons from the left are add from gallery, take a photo and add it, and add mentions.
Settings 1
Settings 2
Settings 3 – as you can see, you can set just about anything
It’s a real shame you can’t set “check manually” or “refresh interval – never”
Twitdroid PRO
-It was already preinstalled in my Android, it can’t be deleted and you can’t even find out how much space it takes up
I don’t understand why app developers don’t simply implement OAuth instead of Basic authentication, which hasn’t worked for months.
Services that twitdroid can sign in to.
👻 Twam – the app has vanished from Google Play without a trace.
And finally, here is an app that is not a Twitter client, but it tells you what percentage of a spammer a given username is (spammer in %). I (@sunamo) am a 10% spammer – judge for yourself from the screenshot:
