Tapbots has released its highly-anticipated iOS 7 redesign of Tweetbot, a popular third-party Twitter client. Version 3.0 is a radical departure from the iOS 6 app, and it’s available now in the App Store for iPhone.
Tweetbot is a full-featured Twitter client that’s fast, beautiful, and redesigned from the ground up for iOS7. Tweetbot has slimmed down to look and feel more like iOS7 and has also gained a lot of charm and speed in the process. Prepare to fall in love with your favorite Twitter client all over again.
Brief Highlights:
◆ Completely redesigned from the ground up for iOS7.
◆ Native Push Notifications.
◆ Mute filters lets you block messages from users without unfollowing them. Mute services, hashtags, people, and even keywords (regex included).
◆ Sync timeline position, direct message read statuses and mute filters between iPhone, iPad, and the Mac via iCloud or Tweetmarker.
◆ Customizable Navigation. The last 2 tabs are customizable and unused tabs are easily accessible.
◆ Support for multiple services like Pocket, Instapaper, Readability, CloudApp, Droplr, and more.
◆ Save drafts, add locations and POI’s, attach photos/videos, manage your lists, and much more.
Many of the features Tweetbot users have come to love are still there in version 3.0, but Tapbots has given the app a drastic redesign to match the feel of iOS 7. The app’s traditional dark timeline has been made white, and the animations are completely redone. Tapbots has added several iOS 7-only features, like background refreshing.
Tapbots has chosen to make Tweetbot 3 for iPhone an entirely new app, so both new and existing users will need to pay the introductory price of $2.99 to download (normal price will be $4.99). No word on when the iPad app will be receiving a similar redesign.

It doesn’t show up in the App Store when I try to update on my phone.
it’s a new app…which is so stupid
I’ve been searching all day. Are you sure this is available?!
The reason it doesn’t show up when you try to update is they are selling it as a brand new app. I love Tweetbot, and it’s absolutely worth paying for, but the paid updates on every device get real old. Not only am I paying a second time for Tweetbot for iPhone, but it’s only a matter of time before I have to pay again to get the iPad update. And then I’m sure down the road I’ll need to pay again to get the Mac update.
Like I said, I love Tweetbot, and understand that developers are doing this for a living, but it just gets old.
I had trouble finding it on the App Store too. Easiest way to get it is go to http://tapbots.com/software/tweetbot/ and click on the link to the app store. Happy tweeting! @brianmorrisonme
