Summary

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that lets registered users post and share texts limited to 140 characters with others. These messages are known as "updates" or "tweets" (from the English verb to tweet).

Twidroid offers you a valuable mobile Twitter client designed for your Android platform that leaves little to no room for improvement.

Features & Use

Section rating: * * * * *

Using Twidroid you can post tweets as well as direct messages. This client also provides you with a convenient photo upload feature.

On top of that, you can follow interesting contact, personalize your user settings, and take full advantage of the Twitter search engine.

What's even better is that all your Twidroid features are location-aware because of the integrated Android GPS.

Finally, you can let Twidroid run in background mode and still be notified about new tweets through the Android notification framework.

To sum it up, all these features make Twidroid an exceptional Twitter client.

Screen & Controls

Section rating: * * * * *

The display is very neat and clear. There's no need for an instructions manual; the application is fast and self-explanatory. All in all, the presentation and navigation of this application won't make you wish for anything more. Twidroid's design may remind you that of an iPhone, which means that appealing clients can also be developed using Android.

Speed and Stability
Despite the application being a 1.0 version based on the first Android version (RC30), there are no complaints regarding speed and reliability, as long as you’re using a UMTS connection. When using the GPRS Network some lags and stalls may occur.

If you leave Twidroid permanently running in background mode, the application will suck up battery power leaving you "tweetless" in less than 12 hours.

Speed & Stability

Section rating: * * * * *

Twidroid ran reliably in this test and made no problems. Here is nothing to complain of.

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating: * * * * *

The application is free to use and download, assuming you have an unlimited data plan. Without one all this tweeting can cost you a fortune, especially if you leave your Twidroid running in background mode all day long.

Twidroid can be accessed via Android Market.

Getting worse Slow, freezes, now won't even open after multiple install/uninstall. Trying other clients.
* * * * *   Amanda, Jan 3, 2012
Loved it at first, updated, and now too many glitches! Each new update makes it worse and worse. The app constantly freezes and freezes my phone as well - have to press Home and restart if I want to be able to check Twitter.

Thumbs Up Just Love it,,, Keep increasing an excellent work,,,

Twidroid was better Where do I start? This is all about making money. Ads. Paid themes. Where they didn't screw up twidroid functionality, they simply monetized it. That's especially annoying for those of use using Twidroyd Pro. There was concern that when Ubermedia bought Twidroyd they'd screw it up. Fears confirmed.

I want this crap off my phone!!

Some very bizzare glitches, what is all the white space about when in landscape? UI that makes no sense either, I loved twidroyd but not this
* * * * *   PaulG, Jan 2, 2012
Nifty :)
* * * * *   PeterPCX, Jan 2, 2012
Used to be ok. Now it takes too much of my screen for non-content related stuff and doesn't even remember my place in timeline
* * * * *   Shaun, Jan 2, 2012
Ads Ads cover the whole screen, fix this
* * * * *   Dominek, Jan 2, 2012
Ugh. Constantly puts me in Twitter jail and I don't tweet that much
* * * * *   micki, Jan 2, 2012
Too many permissions needed..... Why so many permissions? Do you really need to read my email attachments? Uninstall!
* * * * *   Phylicia, Jan 2, 2012
I don't want this in my phone. I have no intention of using it. never have or will have a twitter.
* * * * *   zipporah, Jan 2, 2012
Not as great as it used to be ! I previously rated this app w/ 5 Stars but im re rating it w/ 3 bcuz the app developers are making the app worse & worse! Claimed to have fixed ads poppin up covering the screen but did not, theme backgrounds STILL dnt show, Cnt see who retweets ur tweets etc. Better off using mobile twitter !
* * * * *   deandre, Jan 2, 2012
Ok Needs front screen widget
* * * * *   Jason, Jan 2, 2012
Fix twitter connection issue! Stop changing the app! And fix the twitter connection issue. Twidroyd was amazing! This is starting to turn to garbage....fix the basics, stop trying to change what works! Its unbelievable how ignorant some developers are!
* * * * *   Nick, Jan 2, 2012
It used to be EASILY the best. When I had my blackberry, this was the best social app OUT. This new Droid version is a poor attempt at the former Ubertwitter.
* * * * *   Daisy, Jan 2, 2012
Bad No avis whatsoever horrible
* * * * *   CraigP, Jan 2, 2012
