The Missing Twitter App On Your iDevice Is Called Tweeps, And It’s Free — For Now

By

It’s always bugged me that I can’t change my Twitter account settings, see who I’m following/being followed by or tweak my bio on my iPhone without the pain of having to visit Twitter’s website.

Enter Tweep: it lets the power-tweeter do all that behind-the-curtain stuff, and more — fine-tune location settings, examine fellow tweeps with excruciating detail and a whole bunch of other stuff that, frankly, I’ll never mess with. About the only thing it doesn’t let the user do is tweet.

And though Tweep has actually been around for a few months now, the developer has just cut its price from $5 to free, as a promotional ploy to coincide with the app’s  support of the iPad.

Update: As noted by Toolate in the comment section, it should be plain to any daft twit (meaning me) that many of the functions offered by Tweeps are actually available through Twitter’s official iPhone app (although the more obscure functions, like fine-tuning how accurately tweets report a user’s location, are not available on Twitter for iPhone).
