ChillTwit iPhone App Review

Posted by: john In: review

chilltwit_icon First I must admit I am not a huge Twitter user. I do see the use for it and enjoy checking on a handful of people, but I just don’t have time to check it every hour. But if I wanted to there are a ton of apps out there that allow you to quickly tweet and check the people you’re following. One of those apps is ChillTwit.

ChillTwit is a pretty standard Twitter client. It has all the basics – ability to view the people you follow, view replies and direct messages. It has a similar layout to the way texting is done with conversation bubbles. One of the highlighted features that makes this client different from others is the ability to change the background and conversation bubbles. (BTW: the default colors and background is hideous)

There are a few issues with the app that need to be addressed though. The only big one is the ability to quickly follow someone. Most other apps allow you to do this and it should be standard. The other minor issue is how it handles double quotes. It does not properly convert the HTML code to double quotes. This is a minor issue since it should be a relatively easy fix.

If you’re looking for a new Twitter app with a new fresh user interface, I would definatly recomend checking out ChillTwit – especially since it’s FREE.

Download ChillTwit from iTunes

  • john: There's no easy way to stop it within the InnerFade plugin, but you could just erase all the list items after you've cycled through them using jQuery.
  • Steven: Rachid, did you find an answer? Is there a way to stop by a picture at the end? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
  • htc smartphone: WP togo is going to be a great little example of just what kind of super-power these droids will offer like the htc aria and other htc mobile phones l
