Best Twitter Apps for your Smartphone

Top Twitter Apps for your Smartphone

Blackberry

1.      UberSocial (Formally known as UberTwitter) – This is by far the most trendy twitter app for most Blackberry owners. It offers an array of options that allows you to design it to your liking. The toolbar at the top is very organized, as it consists of searching for important things you are interested in, going directly to direct messages/replies and/or a more advanced method of sending and receiving tweets.

2.      Seesmic for Blackberry – Not as advanced as the UberSocial, this app offers a small text timeline when reviewing your tweets. The neat feature is that it enables users to have multiple accounts on the app at once and it allows sending and sharing photos to your Facebook or to someone’s e-mail very precisely.   

3.      Openbeak – If you like a one-click access to viewing your friends timelines, replies or your own timeline then the openbeak tenders it. The ability to post pictures from TwitPic and YFrog to your Twitter account makes it easier to its overall accessibility.

iPhone
1.      Tweetdeck for IPhone – Most people know this as a desktop twitter program but it is now available on the iPhone itself. It is similar to the desktop layout but it offers a three columnar based design with rows for tweets, mentions and direct messages. Another neat facet is that it allows you to store multiple accounts.
2.      Twitter for IPhone – most iPhone Twitter users make use of this app and it has very effective but not the top layout. When composing a message, it allows you to touch a simple button that hides the keyboard and access username names and top searches that are trending. There is an option that offers you to go straight to your iPhone’s camera to upload pictures. It is simple and straight to the point.
3.      Osfoora – This app is not the over the top one but it does offer a clear-cut and fresh interface with plenty of options. The settings part is effortless to comprehend and provides more stability than the Echofon.

Android
1.      Plume (Formally known as Touiteur) – The majority of Android twitter users find this app to be most effective one. It allows you to navigate easily, while being able to use the keyboard to write tweets. It also allows the customization of the app with different themes and observes tweets from the widget it offers.
2.      Twitter for Android – Unlike most Android Twitter apps, this version has a tool that allows you to link Twitter accounts that you follow to your mobile contacts. There are six core features including, my tweets and profile as well as direct messages that offer large iconic images rather than the smaller icons that other apps offer.
3.      Tweetcaster – How would a twitter app with GPS system feel? Well this app offers it. This app has the ability to track different locations with GPS and it offers you to hold numerous accounts and allows a decent but not spectacular interface.
