Twitter Actually Updates Twitter For Mac

While Twitter frequently updates its Android and iPhone apps, that’s not the case with the Mac app. Back in the year, it got updated when everyone thought it’ll be discontinued. A few days back, they brought another update to the app, making it more inline with design of their Mobile apps. The stand out feature is, the Mac app will now show image previews, i.e. You don’t have to click the pic.twitter.com links to view images. This is obviously a very basic feature which the app has missed.

Updates

When Twitter for Mac launched at the beginning of the year it received praise for its simplicity, speed and look. It also came packed with features like auto-shortened URLs, Tweets appearing in real-time, and multi-account support.Today, we’re releasing the first major update to Twitter for Mac. If you really just don’t want to see something, you can upgrade the muffle to a mute and hide it entirely. As Twitter stopped pushing out updates, Twitter for Mac would regularly hang.

Don’t want images filling your timeline? You can turn it off in settings. Next up, is a more refined design for Twitter profiles, tweet details page and so on. You can now see the cover image (or whatever it is called) on profiles page and it looks much better overall. Tweet details page now show all the mentions (not previously), retweets, favourites a tweet has got.

Update includes other small things like refined iconography. The best part of the app is that, no features are taken out.

It’s the same iconic Mac app designed. The scrolling and transitions are just as smooth as before. Twitter for Mac still does not have every single feature power users expect. And that’s why Tweetbot exists. For example, the Mac doesn’t sync timeline position with Mobile apps. Tweetbot does it perfectly.

Personally, I still love and use Twitter for Mac, that might change if Tweetbot comes to Android (highly unlikely).

Twitter for Mac, which this year with the rollout of Apple’s Mac App Store, is getting its today. Besides a design update, you can now see multiple timelines at once and open more than one window in the client. You can click back to previous pages from the client and there is now a separate “New Tweet” button in the bottom left corner of the app. This feature is good news as one of our major pain points with the earlier version of the app was that there was no Tweet box. Has also updated the design of Direct Messages and user profiles, making it easier to view both features. And the client now has username and hashtag auto-complete.

As we wrote in our initial review of the app back in January, the Mac client was essentially a stripped down version of Twitter’s iPad client. Perhaps with these new updates, the client will become more of a full-fledged client. Twitter also just updated.
