Just in time for the SXSW conference,Tweetbotdeveloper Tapbots has just issued a new version of its popularTwitterclient for the iPhone and iPod touch. Tweetbot 3.3 is now available as a free update to existing owners and includes a larger image thumbnail option, another option to hide current tweets after muting, the ability to use Avenir as a new font option in the display settings and more. I’ve included some additional tidbits, the screenies and your official changelog right after the break…
Pictured top of post and below: the visual difference between the new Avenir font and the old Helvetica Neue option, available under the Display section of Tweetbot’s settings.
And check out what happens when you mute a person or a list in Tweetbot 3.3: the app puts up a sweet prompt offering to remove (that is, hide) tweets and lists in your timeline that match your criteria.
Very handy!
Here’s what’s new in Tweetbot 3.3:
This update is free to folks who’ve previously purchased Tweetbot. The iPad edition has not received these new features.
Left to right: no thumbnail (left), small thumbnail (middle) and the new large thumbnail option (right) in Tweetbot 3.3.
Tweetbot for iPhone and iPod touch will set you back $4.99 in the App Store.
iOS 7.0 or later is required.
The iPad edition of Tweetbot costs $2.99.
Unfortunately, Tweetbot for iPad has not yet received its iOS 7 update.
Tweetbot for Mac is $19.99 in the Mac App Store.
By the way, is anybody else’s Tweetbot data taking excess storage in iCloud backup?
Mine’s a whopping 2.1 gigabytes! you’re able to check yours in iOS Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap on your device’s iCloud backup to see how much cloud storage Tweetbot’s app data takes up as part of iCloud device backup.
I know Apple’s SDK includes an option allowing developers to exclude temporary files and caches from iCloud backups. Now, even though I tweet out lots of media on a daily basis, that’s just too much wasted space in my iCloud backup for a Twitter client.
If you have an idea what’s going on here, let me know down in the comments.
