FREE DOWNLOAD TWEETDECK FOR MAC FOR MAC
Twitter’s current alternatives for Mac users aren’t great. Normally $20, it’s currently available for $8, undercutting Tweetbot’s price. Current version 5 has a horizontal tab layout that’s somewhat like Twitter’s desktop web view, but with superior font and theme customization, all inside Tweetbot-like compact windows. It has dropped from its originally steep $20 price point to $10.īy comparison, The Iconfactory’s Twitterrific (above) has had a spottier history on the Mac, dropping off the map for years until a Kickstarter campaign brought it back in October 2017. From a layout standpoint, Tweetbot is the easiest transition from Twitter for Mac, given its similar use of vertically arranged tabs. Unlike Twitter’s official Mac client, Tapbots’ Tweetbot (above) has been steadily improved ever since its 2012 release, evolving to embrace almost all of Twitter’s new features - except ads - while offering compact windows for viewing and composing tweets. Once the official Twitter app introduced timeline-disrupting ads, some users left for paid third-party clients, but Twitter’s free clients remained popular because of their price. Brichter left Twitter less than a year after Tweetie’s January 2011 acquisition, and Twitter subsequently struggled to maintain the apps, stumbling on everything from iPad layouts to Retina displays to 240-character tweets. Twitter’s Apple platform apps have been criticized for years, despite starting strong as upgraded versions of Loren Brichter’s popular Tweetie apps for iOS and Mac. Amid concerns that Twitter’s other long-neglected Mac app, TweetDeck, might soon disappear, third-party clients are adjusting their prices, hoping to win over disgruntled Mac Twitter users.
Twitter’s unexpected discontinuation of its free eponymous Mac client late last Friday hasn’t gone over well with Mac users, even though it rated an abysmal 1.7 out of 5 stars before it disappeared from the Mac App Store.
