Twitterrific vs Twitter for Iphone

It’s been a week or so since Twitter have released their rebranded version of Tweetie. I didn’t use Tweetie in the past because it wasn’t free but now that Twitter took over and gave it away I decided to give it a try and see how it compares with Twitterrific.

Overall I get the feeling Twitterrific is slightly easier to use but that might be because I was already used to it. Both apps have the same basic features. You get to post tweets, attach pictures or video clips from the media library. You can also snap pictures with the built in camera while you’re writing your tweets. You can reply, retweet, and do all the other things you do on Twitter.

Both apps let you embed location information into your tweets. Where Twitter for iPhone is better is that is uses Tweeter’s geotagging feature so you can include location information without wasting precious characters in your tweets. With Twitterrific you can inser a link to google maps but that uses up a certain number of characters.

Another good thing about Twitter for iPhone is that you can use it landscape mode. Twitterrific can only be used in portrait mode.

So because of the geotagging feature and landscape mode I decided to use Twitter for iPhone for now.
