I’ve been using the Twitter client TweetGenius for a few weeks now. Here are some of my observations…
The app has an amazing UI, however, what good is a UI if the functionality behind it is buggy?
Here’s a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
- Beautiful UI
- Great built-in notifications
- Nice division of tweets (friends timeline, replies, and dm’s)
Cons
- Makes my 8900 crawl when running in the background
- I’ve yet to be able to successfully upload images
- Inability to change font size (the timeline font is too small for those quick glance moments)
- When viewing a user’s profile, the profile always launches in the other twitter client I have installed!
- App hangs while receiving updates.
Final verdict: if you are a BlackBerry user and want a quality Twitter client where the functionality is superb, download ÜberTwitter as TweetGenius just doesn’t have that functionality down and is not worth the $9.99 they are charging for it.
