The official Twitter client has landed on Windows 8 a few weeks ago and, even if it lacks several essential features, it’s still experiencing a terrific success on Microsoft’s new operating system.

The app has just received an update supposed to bring several bug fixes, so no new features or options are included in this release.

Truth is, Twitter indeed seems to load a bit faster on Windows 8 after deploying the new build, so users are recommended to install it as soon as possible.

While it does provide users with a very fast and touch-optimized method to tweet from the Modern UI, Twitter doesn’t offer an URL shortening option or multi-account support, so third-party clients remain the only option on both Windows 8 and Windows RT.
