Twitter App Reviews

In my experience, the app is getting smoother and the quirks are resolving. I’m not having any of the issues that other reviewers are having with the latest update, but I just did a clean install of MacOS. The app is worth it.

Needlessly causes my Mac to slow down at startup, crashes 4-5 times a week (sometimes more) and is generally something to avoid. Use the iOS version instead. This one’s trouble.

or sticker capability???

Not able to log in using 2 factor authentication - text verification screen just white - GG.

This application is awful. If I stop the twitter stream it never restarts again properly. It hangs when I pick “scroll to top”, and won’t properly scroll down. I have to kill and restart this frozen app multiple times a day. Was this even tested on Sierra??? Please fix this application, it makes the Twitter service look bad having such a horrible app.

Lol “bug fixes"

I don’t know what the bugs were with 4.2.1, other than it not being able to deal with two factor. 4.2.2 still couldn’t deal with it. 4.2.3 came out today. Can it deal with two factor? Nope. Listen, Twitter, if you don’t want to support this app, that’s fine. I’m sure not many people use it. But if you aren’t going to support it and make it work, take it down from the app store. I find it to be more convenient to have this app open than use my phone, but I’m not going to turn off two factor out of sheer principle. I want to see how long it takes for you to fix this.

I try to use Twitter mac app with two factor authentication enabled on my Twitter account. Everytime, I sign in, it texts me with my two factor code, but the popup where I suppose to enter the code is always blank. The app doesn’t work on macOS Sierra

(nor is the bug I reported 4 years ago, the bug is in iOS app too, with the timeline not letting me start off from where I left off (it did do that before Twitter bought the company that did the app)) The app easy hit over 1GB of RAM usage after just a while of use, other than that it is a good app. New bug occored recently where if you view your DMs Twitter will CPU spike to 15% CPU and cause the Mac’s fans to go full speed, this is in the last 3 versions Why are there no relase notes that have info about what was fixed in the last 2 or more updates?

After logging in, a blank popup appears (I assume for 2fa), and then nothing. 2 versions, and the most secure users are unable to use this app.

the autetication screen is blank no where to add the code. i get the token but no where to added on the screen

Honestly, Twitter. It’s embarassing that you haven’t gotten around to fixing this ridiclous blank 2 Factor Authentication pop up screen when logging onto an account that uses it. Rather than disable it, I’m moving back to Tweetbot. It’s a shame that I have to lose out on native features like Polls but I’m not about to degrade my account security because you guys are too slow to fix this issue. Such a shame.

C’mon Twitter, this is a great app that is unusable because of this persistent, universal, two-factor authentication bug. Fix it, and I would use this app a lot and probably give it 5 stars. But, since I cannot even login, it’s 1 star useless.

The add to list drop down menu only shows 20 lists but Twitter allows more than 20 lists to be created. I totally manage my use of Twitter using lists and this bug means I cannot add people to a list if the list I want to use is not in the 20 shown. 3-stars for me until this is fixed. - This is still a problem with the latest update. Surely this is trivial to fix?

As mentioned in prior reviews, this app does not allow for signing in with two-factor authentication (tested on macOS Sierra). Bugs are a reality of software, but after several weeks without recognition or word from Twitter Support (@Support), it leaves one wondering if this is app is actually being taken seriously.

After pushing sign in button, empty window pop-up and there is nothing in it.

Looks like it at least doesnt freeze up every 20 minutes. That is a start.

Twitter has fixed most of the issues that plagued earlier versions. Stil there are some problems, mainly that DMs are frequently out of date, and much slower (minutes to hours) to arrive than on the iOS app, if they arrive at all. You can click File -> Refresh All, which will sync everything back up after about 30 seconds, but that is unacceptable for a real-time app. All in all Id say 4.2.4 is pretty good for tweets, not so much for DMs, which is a shame since they havent opened up the APIs to allow any other apps access to group DMs (youd think 2 full years would be enough time).

== 4.2.4 Still bad but getting better. Auto scroll-to-top very broken. Doesn’t crash as frequently as it has. Still weird issues with images, like closing when when a new tweet comes in, taking a long time to open, needing to click things 12839 times to open, etc. 4.2.4 Edit: Nope, nevermind… NOT getting better. Now if you’re viewing someone’s profile you’ll get kicked back to your timeline if a new tweet comes in. == 4.1.3 Still garbage. Expanded pictures close when a new tweet comes in. Videos that are playing inline restart when a new tweet comes in. Crashes when opening an individual tweet or account. New update introduces HUGE delays in new tweets showing up. == 4.1.2 This is an embarassingly bad app for a company such as Twitter. Frequent crashes if you interact with the app at all. If you enlarge an image, the next incoming tweet will close it. Some buttons/links take multiple clicks to work. The app is fine if you use it 100% passively (just watching new tweets come in. Has gotten WORSE in recent updates.

Twitter is all ABOUT the hashtag. You may as well not tweet if you can’t put a hashtag on things without the app crashing. And yet, every time I type a hash mark… BOOM! It crashes and I send a report to Apple. I know what app I won’t be using anymore and you shouldn’t either.
