Built with Windows in mindĪside from its excellent feature set, Tweetium is a Twitter client that has been adapted especially to suit the Windows platform. This highlights one of the strengths of Tweetium - making every single action never more than a click away. The app also allows you to quickly dip in and out of Tweets to see replies without leaving your main timeline. Writing a Tweet is equally straightforward, as clicking on the pencil icon brings up the Tweet box in the middle of your timeline – so you can still see what's happening in the background. The reply, retweet, favorite, and share (via email, for example) buttons are prominently positioned in a clear way under each Tweet, making these actions quick and easy. You can add multiple accounts but only courtesy of an in-app purchase.

However, it is limited to only two streams on screen at one time (although you can open streams in new windows), whereas other Twitter clients allow you to view five or six on the same screen. This option works in a similar way to Windows’ snap feature. It also allows you to either see two completely different Twitter feeds side by side (your mentions and main timeline, for example), or to work on another program while using Tweetium. Tweetium's side-scrolling interface provides a unique (and surprisingly user friendly) way to view your Twitter timelines. Not only that, the app syncs your settings across both this Windows 8 version and the Windows Phone app - taking advantage of the Windows 8 build once and deploy across different devices strategy. Meanwhile, unlike in Twitter, Instagram photos show up in their full glory, instead of just a link to the image.Īnother advantage that Tweetium offers over the native Twitter app is that it adapts to the Windows 8 device you are using – so whether you are using a desktop PC with keyboard and mouse or a tablet in portrait view, it provides a suitable user experience.

If you only have a couple of minutes to check your Twitter feed but you spot an interesting Tweet you’d like to follow on, you can save your place and come back to the exact same spot later. This feature extends to muting hashtags - perfect if the people you are following are all Twittering on about an event that has no interest to you. If you've got a lost of 'noise' in your timeline coming from a particular user, you can chose to mute them.
