Rageaholic Monkey posted:I upgraded anyway because it's probably one of my most-used apps. Tweetbot 4 is real pretty and the Activity page is going to be super useful. That was kind of a glaring omission in Tweetbot 3. Isn't this the same company that was supposed to update their ipad app in 2012 for free? Isn't this also the first update to the app offered since that announcement? I really just want to know how angry and vocal Tweetbot users are going to be over the next few weeks.

This is the only choice for Twitter that is even remotely decently good. There will be no outrage because there are no alternatives. That is the reason the company can act like lovely turds.

Neurophonic posted:Tweetbot 4 is out, $5 for upgrade, or $5 rising to $10 after a launch period for new users. How does an upgrade price work? I didn't think Apple's App Store could offer two different price points for the same app. Is it an in app purchase? Fake edit: Ah ha. That's actually pretty clever. quote:After the price returns to $10, an App Store bundle containing both Tweetbot 3 and Tweetbot 4 will be made available. While it won’t appeal to most people, users who already own Tweetbot 3 can use the “complete my bundle” option to get the remaining apps (in this case, Tweetbot 4) by paying only the price of the bundle minus the price of Tweetbot 3. The bundle will be priced at $10 so that this comes out to $4.99, meaning users with Tweetbot 3 will always have the option of upgrading for half of the regular price. Real edit: Kaizoku posted:Isn't this the same company that was supposed to update their ipad app in 2012 for free? Isn't this also the first update to the app offered since that announcement? I'm disappointed, but in no way surprised. Tapbot has always been about squeezing as much money as they can out of Tweetbot. I don't necessarily blame them for that, since their other product is a pale shadow compared to PCalc. And they really did put a ton of work into the new version. There will be a vocal minority, but I think most people won't care enough to bitch, because it is such a vast improvement. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Oct 1, 2015 |

Unless they make a bundle that includes TB3, TB2 for iPad and TB4 and then let me “upgrade” to TB4 for $.99 or something, they don’t have my sale. I may tweet them about this to see what they say.

Is some of this Twitter still being shitheads to developers with the access token limit, or is this just a $$$ grab? Twitter in general are giant assholes towards third party developers who want to come up with a better experience. EDIT: If I knew I could only ever sell 50-60 thousand copies of my app because of people using things on multiple devices, etc. I'd probably be pretty stingy about charging for upgrades.

But, that's why you don't purchase software for what it will become. Maybe TweetBot 5 will be a kickstarter with backer rewards and stretch-goal features. flosofl posted:I'm disappointed, but in no way surprised.

I found that the only real way I interact with twitter is from bitlbee, the service itself just doesn't fit into how I interact with technology otherwise. So, basically, Prompt is my ios twitter client of choice. I hear decent things about that one that looks like an-honest-to-god-CRT-terminal, but eew. Edit: /\/\/\ Could be, but if it were wouldn't they announce that to deflect the blame?

I got a really good Twitter client I used for three years for $5 or whatever. I'm not sure why I should feel upset about having to pay another $5 for something I use daily. If they start doing annual paid updates, I *might* start to see an issue. People who bought it this year might have a legitimate complaint, I suppose.

The Devil Tesla posted:An iPhone is $650 So what? I also bought the iTunes credit for 35% off, meaning TB4 would only really cost me $3.24 + tax. I personally am just not willing to reinforce bad behavior by paying full price for an app that could and should have been universal when version 3 was released. If you are willing to reinforce that behavior, definitely enjoy paying again for TB5 in a year or two! Me, I’ll wait for the inevitable price drop because TB3 and Twitterific still work great!

Am I reading this correctly on Reddit or is it typical Reddit, but is TweetBot 3 not available to those who purchased it? I don't have it so I can't check, but if you use 3 and choose to not update to 4 can you still reinstall 3 or is it gone?

Twitter constantly makes changes to their service in order that back away from the idea of a simple one to many messaging service to one that they can sell more ads on. Twitter clients freeze Twitter to be like what it was about five years ago where it's just your timeline, your @s, and your private messages. It is a product you buy instead of one where you're being sold. And yea, there's no ads.

I'm not buying it because the official client is fine for what little I use Twitter, but if you develop a popular app and don't charge the people who willingly throw money at you, you're an idiot, so good for the Tapbots guys, I guess.

There isn't, unless you're Twitter the company and want to make money. This is why people use clients, even though they technically do less because they don't have access to all of Twitter's functions.

Being able to group the people you follow into lists, then view a version of your timeline that's just, say, sports-related tweets, or current events, or breweries, etc. I'll kinda piggyback on this comment though and ask what Tweetbot does that Twitterrific does not do, or does not do as well? Given how great Twitterrific has been for me since switching over to an iphone a year ago, I'm actually surprised there's another client out there people seem to be fawning over even more.

That is the reason the company can act like lovely turds. Nope, I've been using Twitterific on iPad for the last 2 years, as Tweetbot for iPad wasn't updated since 2012 or something*. iOS6 level. It is pretty great, and having now used Tweetbot 4 for a while, doesn't seem any worse at all in any functional way. That said, I do like the minimal aesthetic on TB4. * This despite repeated promises of a free upgrade for iPad users since iOS7 came out. And the obvious fact that precise same code used for the iPhone version of Tweetbot 3 would've worked fine on iPad (and does if you jailbreak and force it to fullscreen). Having a separate iPad version of any app is bullshit, and was from the start. bobfather posted:I personally am just not willing to reinforce bad behavior by paying full price for an app that could and should have been universal when version 3 was released. I don't have a problem with paying for new versions of software, though clearly it's better for all if there's a way to offer the new version as a reduced price upgrade. I just wish the iPad wasn't denied Tweetbot for 3 years due to incompetence or greed. Also, for any Tweetbot 3 users who're currently restoring from an iCloud backup - they can't even download it right now as it's removed from the store - which is lovely.

One compelling reason to stay on TB3: when browsing webviews TB3 lets you swipe from screen edge left to right to go back to your tweets. TB4 makes you push the “back to” at screen top left, which is hard to reach on a 6s+. Using reachability to get to it is just slow. Obviously TB3 doesn’t benefit from ad blocking, but I prefer the swipe back behavior over seeing an occasional ad, personally. Also, I think when iOS 9 is jailbroken someone will be able to code a tweak to replace all webviews with the iOS 9-type views.

I don't know why I ever rush to upgrade Tweetbot, but yet I do it. Their initial releases are always pretty buggy. For now I'll just keep using Tweetbot 3. In particular, I really dislike how the Safari View Controller works. I open a link and then swipe to go back constantly, and that doesn't work in TB4, and can't be fixed.

Since I installed Purify, and for the first time I can even remember in two years, I am getting popups when (for example) clicking trusted links from Google searches. Aside from getting a 6S, nothing has changed. I don't browse unsafe sites and I don't install goofy apps. I don't even have any games installed yet. Is anyone else actually seeing more obnoxious popups, but fewer in page advertisements, with content blockers?
