Tweetcaster from Handmark

Tweetcaster


As it turns out, my little beta testing experience with Handmark has paid off, as this weekend I was notified that I was one of the lucky 50 people chosen to test Tweetcaster.  It's a new twitter client for Android.  Yes I know what you are thinking... Another one?  Look at it this way, competition is good!  It only makes the other guys work harder... :-)

Overall initial thoughts


Before you beat me to a pulp for this review, please keep in mind that we all use twitter differently.  Having said that, I can honestly say that this is by far the best client I have used yet.  I am of course, comparing it to the other 2 clients I use which are Twidroid Pro, and Seesmic.  No client is perfect, which is why I end up using those 2.

The timeline


In my opinion, the timeline is the most essential part of any twitter client.  How its presented and handled for mundane tasks such as reading the timeline, replying and retweeting.  In this case, Tweetcaster win hands down against my other 2 clients.  Not that they were bad, as they both have their strong points and ultimately it boils down to personal preference.

The UI is layed out very nicely with similar toolbar buttons to Twidroid, but arranged on top.  The timeline is a bubble style similar to texts.  There are options for changing the theme from light to dark, as well as the size of the font.  when you have new tweets, replies or DMs, a little yellow notification appears right on the appropriate icon on the toolbar with the number of new tweets.  Very nicely implemented and not intrusive.

Other stuff


If you click on that top left button with the arrow, you get the initial screen where you can see the current trends, choose any one of your accounts (YES! multiple account support!), do searches and see who is nearby.

Overall impression


Yes, this is not a perfect client.  It needs an option for how many tweets to load on startup, and it doesn't update the timeline when on airplane mode with wifi turned ON.  but overall, this is the best client I have used on Android.

There will be more updates on this in the coming days, but feel free to ask me anything on Twitter @zapote21.
