Twitter may not be the largest social network out there, but with over 300 million daily active users it’s definitely a big one. Twitter has been around for 10 years now in fact March marked its 10th birthday – and there are loads of Twitter apps available on Android. Of course, there is only one from Twitter itself, the others are third-party apps.
The Twitter for Android app has come a long way in the past few years. It has been adopting new design languages, and has become a bit more modern looking. The app now has a good number of useful features and extends the experience from the web. The official Twitter app also has support for multiple accounts, especially useful for those that have more than one account to manage and/or use.
Talon has become a popular Twitter app for those that don’t like the official one. Mainly for having all sorts of useful features like muting of keywords, hashtags and people, as well as theming support. If there’s one thing that Android users like, it’s theming. Talon also has inline video and photos within the app, so you can see photos without having to open the tweet page.
Fenix is a material design Twitter app that has support for multiple accounts as well. There are a few different themes available and a bit of customization as well. Fenix does also have a widget, so you can keep up with Twitter from your home screen without needing to jump into the app.
Here is an oldie but a goodie, in Tweetcaster. This app has a few unique features, like having support for Facebook. Allowing you to post to both Twitter and Facebook at the same time. Tweetcaster also has support for adding filters to your photos, something that has become very common as of late. We also have support for multiple accounts here in Tweetcaster. Something that’s important to most Twitter users.
Plume has been around for a pretty long time. Some of you may remember it as “Touiteur”. Plume also has support for multiple accounts. Not to mention widgets and a tablet layout. Something that only a handful of apps actually have these days. The app also supports livestreaming, so you’ll never have to refresh your stream. New tweets will just automatically make their way into your stream.
