The Breakroom

Twitterrific 5.2.1 is now available in the App Store and brings with it a host of new features as well as increased speed and stability. The launch of native push notifications in v 5.2 has been augmented thanks to app badges which can now be enabled via the iOS Notification Center settings in v 5.2.1. Twitterrific will keep count of your mentions, replies and DM’s and display them on the home screen. Launching the app clears the count but also automatically clears pending messages from Notification Center.

This latest release also includes support for viewing Favstar information. Once enabled from Twitterrific’s settings, users can open profiles or individual tweet pages to view the tally of favs & RT’s on a tweet or user. Version 5.2.1 also decreases time to load tweets, greatly improves timeline position syncing for Tweet Marker and iCloud and bolsters support for Voice Over users with number of important fixes. Be sure to check out our video walk through of some of the highlights of v 5.2.1.

Other notable additions in 5.2.1 include:

• Twitter trends (open Sidebar > Search > Tweets tab to view)
• Support for Twitter stock symbols ($AAPL, etc)
• Home timeline auto-refreshes when posting a new tweet or DM
• Automatic theme changing now based on dawn/dusk at your location
• Compose gesture: one-finger swipe left/right to adjust cursor
• Bug fixes, UI tweaks and much more

Twitterrific 5 has been hailed by critics and users alike as one of the most beautiful and fun to use applications in the App Store. The app is currently on sale directly from the App Store for just $2.99. Existing users can update to version 5.2.1 via the App Store’s software update. Enjoy!

We’re pleased to announce that Twitterrific 5.2 is now available in the App Store and brings with it our most requested new feature – native push notifications. Once enabled in settings, Twitterrific will now notify you when you receive mentions, direct messages, new followers and more. We’ve even added an option to display unique icons along with the messages so they are easy to discern on your device’s lock screen.

Please note that Twitterrific’s new push notification service is in Beta test and will be rolling out gradually to groups of 1,000 users over the next few weeks. If you cannot enable push notifications on your first attempt, just try again in a few days.

Other notable additions in 5.2 include:

• Profiles redesigned to display user banners
• Discussions can now be shared via email & Storify
• Droplr thumbnails now display in the timeline
• The timeline can now display up to 600 tweets (was 400)
• Various changes to make VoiceOver less verbose
• Bug fixes, UI tweaks and much more

Twitterrific 5 has received wonderful reviews since its launch and continues to improve with each release. The app is currently on sale directly from the App Store for just $2.99. Existing users can update to version 5.2 via the App Store’s software update. Enjoy!
