Dark Mode: Twitter has a dark mode that allows users to browse through their timeline in low-light conditions. Having other options, such as Chrome, makes your web surfing experience easier and overall better. Unfortunately, in-app browsers sometimes lack functionality, making them difficult to navigate. Browser for Web Links: On Twitter, tapping on a link redirects you to an in-app browser. Instagram Image Viewing: The ability to view an image from inside the app when an Instagram link is included in a tweet. Inline YouTube Playback: When you tap on a YouTube video link in a tweet, does it play on the Twitter timeline versus being redirected to the YouTube app?. Very few developers take advantage of this iOS feature. Change Home Screen App Icon: Apps can include an option for user-selectable app icons, which lets you change the icon for the app that shows up on your home screen. Only one app so far lets you take advantage of Siri for a customized hands-free experience. There's also Siri Shortcuts, which makes life easier by letting you create custom Siri commands to use with the app.
Siri Integration: Some apps can be used with Siri right away, after giving permission to let the app send data to Apple to process your spoken requests. Gesture Shortcuts: Not including 3D Touch, here we're looking for apps that use swipe gestures to get things done faster, such as undoing edits. iCloud Sync: Whether or not the app syncs data on iCloud. 3D Touch: All apps have 3D Touch capabilities inside of the app, such as peek and pop support. Must Create Third-Party Account: Only one app in this list requires that you create an account in order to log in to and use your Twitter account. Ads: Do the third-party clients feature ads? If so, what kind? These range from none to static banners to promoted tweets. Pro Features: Paid versions usually offer more features and get rid of advertisements, and the ones in the chart are the most important ones to be excited about. Price for Pro Version: Although all of these clients are free to use, four have pro versions available that range in price from a $2.99 one-time payment to $29.99 a month.Number of Accounts Supported: Most people stick to one account, but it's important to look at the number of accounts each client supports, especially if your job entails managing multiple Twitter accounts.Usually, anything above a 4 is positive, meaning it has a relatively minimal number of negative reviews. App Store Rating: Every client on this list (except Twitter Lite, which is not available in the App Store) has a 4.3 rating or higher in the App Store.All of the below points correlate to the chart above.
Not all third-party Twitter clients are created equal, which is why we took a look at several important factors across every iOS application we reviewed.
