ÜberTwitter for Blackberry
I can not explain to you how happy I am with ÜberTwitter. I have been using Twitterberry for over a year and was pretty happy with it but also dissatisfied with some recent changes and some bugs from those changes. I searched for a new client a couple months ago since it did not seem like there was any support for Twitterberry but I could not find another application that functioned the way Twitterberry did. That was all until I saw ÜberTwitter in the top 25 downloads of App World.
I at first did not like it because I thought that Twitterberry had a little cleaner look (which it does) plus I liked the shortcut that hitting back always took you to a new tweet. It took me a couple days to realize it but this new app has a ton of features. My favorites all revolve around viewing and sending pictures. The new features are:
- Being able to preview the “twit pic” in your main window next to the text
- Seeing the full picture with a single click without having to go into the horrible BB browser
- The tweet/picture can also be geo tagged and it will show you where you took or uploaded the picture on a Google Map interface in the same screen as your looking on the picture.
- Being able to directly send a picture after taking it without having to view the picture.
Other new features that I did not have before are:
- Being able to add or block a user from the app
- See tweets from people around me (pretty cool)
- Seach twitter
- View Trending Topic
- Full spell check (Twitterberry had it but then lost the feature for replies in the last email.
- Being able to reply to a group
- Forward a tweet to an email
- Monitor multiple twitter accounts from the same app at the same time
- Integration with Google Talk
- Send videos in a tweet
- Visual icon notification for any tweet on the app icon and another icon in the header if you get a reply or direct message. (one of the main reasons I left Twitterberrry.
- Latitude like locating system which can use GPS, cell towers, or both for my phone.
The app is free but it has a banner on the top that does not bother me at all. I just realized that you can but the full version for $5/year so just did just to support such a fine app.
