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.

Good. Good so far.
A Google User, May 10, 2013
Send tweet button is too close to the delete button I've finally had enough of sending tweets by mistake and uninstalled. The fleet button is just too close, right above, the entire or send tweet button. I've sent too many unfinished and unedited tweets because of the proximity when trying to delete a character or word. I figured someone must know about this and it will be fixed and I held out long enough. Goodbye for now.

I really like it, but... ...holy crap does it eat my battery. It uses as much battery power as TuneIn Radio. A Twitter client should not use as much battery power as a streaming radio app! I don't know if it's the ads or something else, but I'm sadly going to have to uninstall it and look for something lighter.

Favourite Twitter app I always use this app. From my BlackBerry to my Samsung, I'm always using Ubertwitter. Has all the functions that the Twitter website has, plus coloured themes!
A Google User, May 9, 2013
Like it Easy to use
A Google User, May 9, 2013
Fine but falling behind I've used these guys since '09. They were once great, but UberSocial is falling behind the native twitter app and mobile site. I still use this app out of habit, but I look longingly at the activity page and not-so-clunky interface of twitters mobile site now more than ever. Use this if you don't want Twitter to completely integrate with your phone.
