Best Twitter app for Moto X

[effreyj]

I was wondering which twitter apps people used on their Moto X. I really like Tweedle, especially since it has an AMOLED theme option, which should save battery life on the Moto X's AMOLED screen. Also like how fast and smooth the app is. I've also used Seesmic, Plume, and TweetCaster, all which have some pros and cons depending on which features are important to you.

I like the new version of Carbon a lot....

I used Carbon before as well (the older version though) and it was still a little raw still back then. I'll have to try it again on the newer version at some point.

?berSocial is good.

Another vote for Carbon...new version has all the features I want and they did a quick updqate to provide more visibility for the new font. Love the dark scheme!

How's Carbon in terms of memory use and battery implications?

Carbon doesn't run in the background, you 'pull' tweets when you want to see them and you can swipe down with two fingers to get to current tweets if you don't want to bother with your timeline from yesterday or three days ago. Also supports multiple accounts/timelines.

Falcon PRO by far. Tried Carbon and the reg twitter, but Falcon blows them out of the water. But........ If you can't get Falcon Carbon is the next best thing.

I think I'll try Carbon again. TweetCaster was really slow and was also eating a lot of battery and trying to access my location even though I unchecked that option.

Well, I spoke too soon...from the Carbon G+ site:

M.Saleh Esmaeili originally shared:
As they say, it's not what happens but how you react and handle it.
So the inevitable at Twitter API side happened to +Carbon for Android . We all knew it was going to happen, we just didn't know when.

Twitter just closed the door on Carbon using the API.

Falcon Pro and / or Plume

I use falcon pro, robird, and the official twitter app sometimes

Do any of these clients handle @replies and conversations the same way the official app does? If there's one thing I really like about the official app, it's how it handles conversations, but I couldn't find any third party clients that do it the same way.

My earlier post re the Twitter API being closed was in reaction to Carbon not updating or posting tweets, but later saw their tweet that it was a short term issue on the twitter side:

Carbon for Android @CarbonAndroid
There was a problem on Twitter side, nothing to do with tokens or our API access. just a general outage at Twitter. Systems are all back now.

1. Falcon Pro




2. Carbon






3. Everything else

Exactly my order as well.

What's the best Twitter app for people who don't have these magical tokens?

 

[Laineyc]

I use Tweetcaster mostly.

I don't get how some of the apps like Carbon and Falcon Pro have token limits but ones like Tweetcaster and Seesmic, which are also popular, don't have any limits...

I've got Carbon on my One X, I'll be putting it on my Moto X when it gets here, as long as it still works.
