Talon is a Twitter client for Android devices that’s been developed nicely until today. With the latest update provided by devs, we expect the application to become even more stable and attractive for those who prefer to avoid using Twitter’s native app.

According to developers, Talon for Twitter has been created with Android 4.4 KitKat in mind, which means that for the time being its target is pretty limited.

Obviously, the application works on earlier Android versions as well, but not all features will be available and the transparent navigation and status bar will not work.

However, with the latest update, long-time users will be even more pleased with the application’s offering. Check out below the full list of changes:

- TweetMarker support; - TwitLonger support; - Upload with TwitPic; - Much better handling of user searches; - Added share and quote button to the in-line expansions on tweets; - Add color to the retweet and favorite buttons so you can better distinguish your actions on a tweet; - Live streamed tweets will be automatically loaded when you are at the top of the timeline; - Higher quality Instagram, TwitPic, and Imgur pictures; - Remove retweets by long pressing the retweet button; - Pull to refresh on searched trends; - Don’t show YouTube in pictures timeline; - Better feedback for when you retweet or favorite a status; - Much better support for auto-trimming the databases; - Added size 30 font; - Mark direct messages and mentions as read when the notification is dismissed; - Better handling of retweets when viewing the tweet; - Reply to your own tweets; - Share individual links in a tweet using the “Share Link” button in the overflow menu when viewing a tweet; - View your current account on the talon pull notification if you have more than one; - Workaround under advanced settings for if your timeline jumped down a spot after a refresh; - Better stability; - Tons of bug fixes; - Updated translations.

You can now download Talon for Twitter for Android 1.3.0 for free via Google Play Store. Keep in mind that the application should be compatible with most devices powered by Android 4.0 and up.
