The Breakroom

Announcing the release of Twitterrific 4.3 for iOS and Macintosh. This latest update to our popular Twitter app includes support for syncing reading position in the timeline across all platforms, improved scrolling in Lion, viewing Camera+ images inline and a host of additional improvements and bug fixes.

Version 4.3’s best feature is the ability to sync your reading position across all versions of Twitterrific by using the Tweet Marker API. Twitterrific keeps track of where you are in the timeline and displays that position as a bookmark on the tweet’s timestamp. Twitterrific can also automatically scroll to this position – no more searching for where you last left off. This makes reading your timeline a breeze when moving between Mac and iOS during the course of a day. Turn on timeline syncing via Twitterrific’s settings.

Some of the notable highlights in Twitterrific 4.3 include:

• Syncing of timeline positions across all versions via Tweet Marker
• Improved t.co and Twitter picture handling
• Support for displaying Camera+ images inline
• Support for normal tweet notifications with Growl (Mac)
• Refinements to full screen mode & scrolling in Lion (Mac)
• Improved handling of errors associated with incorrect time & time zones
• Plus more – iOS / Mac

Twitterrific 4.3 is available as both a universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as for the Mac desktop via the iOS and Mac App Stores. The software is free of charge for use with a single Twitter account. Users can upgrade in-app to remove advertising and enable multiple Twitter accounts.

To help mark the release of version 4.3, we’re offering a special 50% discount for the Mac version of Twitterrific in the Mac App Store. If you’ve been on the wire about Twitterrific for Mac, now’s the time to take flight. Twitterrific is available from the Mac App Store for just $4.99 for a limited time.

Twitter recently announced a new authentication policy that changes the way third party software like Twitterrific must interact with your account. Instead of entering your username and password directly into Twitterrific, users will now be required to authenticate through Twitter.com, which then authorizes the application to access their updates. Authenticating in this manner allows you to keep access to direct messages from within Twitterrific and in theory, makes your account more secure.

To continue using Twitterrific to access your tweets, please update to the latest version before June 30th, 2011. We’ve done extensive testing on Twitterrific using the new OAuth authentication process and have attempted to make it as bulletproof as possible for you. The recently released v 4.2 for iOS & Mac incorporates these changes and has already been downloaded seamlessly by thousands of users.

Any version of Twitterrific (for Mac or iOS) prior to 4.2 will not function properly after June 30, 2011. We’re sorry that this change in Twitter policy may cause confusion and frustration for some of our users.

Note: Using different versions at the same time will cause authentication errors so it is important to upgrade all devices and platforms.

Twitterrific 4.2 for iOS and Mac is a free upgrade for registered users of v3.x Universal for iOS and v4.x for Mac and is available for download from the iOS and Mac App Stores today. As always, we thank you for your support, patience and understanding in dealing with Twitter.com’s changes in policy.

Announcing the immediate release of Twitterrific 4.2 for iOS and Macintosh. This latest update to our popular Twitter app includes support for the popular Read It Later bookmarking service, improved tapping of links in the timeline and a host of bug fixes just to name a few.

This update also incorporates the recently announced OAuth authentication policy change at Twitter. What does this mean for Twitterrific users? It simply means that after installing v 4.2 users will be required to re-authorize all of their Twitter accounts using the new login method.

The Twitterrific 4.2 update is free and recommended for all users.
