14 DAY TRIAL // The folks over at UberMedia have just announced that they have updated the popular twitter client for Android devices, Twidroyd to version 6.0.
The new major update brings important new features, as well as several issue fixes discovered by devs and users.
Although the application has just been the subject of a major update and the new features seem to be awesome, it appears that feedback is not entirely on the positive side.
Some users are still complaining that the application is slower than it should be, live preview doesn't always work, while the number of ads seems to be overwhelming.
The complete change log of Twidroyd 6.0 is available below:
New features: - navigate in twidroyd with the awesome and fully customizable UberBar; - new login method to support twitter’s web based oAuth workflow; - app Icon; - option to show exact timestamp; - verified user icon; - when replying to a retweet, compose window will be prefilled with the user name of the person who retweeted; - ask before discarding a tweet; - added indicator bubble for outbox; - auto-shorten option for tweets > 140 chars (off by default); - more font size options; - selectable locations for trending topics; - TMI.me viewer for search results; - send, attach and shorten button to the top of the compose screen; - t.co support; - back button history for tabs; - image view, comments, votes for lockerz.com images; - native retweets included in list of tweets in profile view; - insert username/hashtag at cursor position.
Fixes:
- app crash when attempting to mute hash tags that have been extracted from timeline; - @mention at cursor position.
All in all, Twidroyd 6.0 is available as a free download directly from Android Market and is compatible with all devices running Android 1.6 or later.
