ÜberTwitter for Blackberry

ubertwitter-beta-31

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:

  1. Being able to preview the “twit pic” in your main window next to the text
  2. Seeing the full picture with a single click without having to go into the horrible BB browser
  3. 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.
  4. 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:

  1. Being able to add or block a user from the app
  2. See tweets from people around me (pretty cool)
  3. Seach twitter
  4. View Trending Topic
  5. Full spell check (Twitterberry had it but then lost the feature for replies in the last email.
  6. Being able to reply to a group
  7. Forward a tweet to an email
  8. Monitor multiple twitter accounts from the same app at the same time
  9. Integration with Google Talk
  10. Send videos in a tweet
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
