Special Deals Abound for Twitterrific Users

November 7, 2009

We’re pleased to announce that the Mac version of Twitterrific is participating in the newly released MacHeist nanoBundle. MacHeist traditionally offers a pack of Mac-based software at an amazing low price, but this time around the bundle is completely free. This means that you can pick up at least 5 high-quality Mac apps, normally worth over $150, without spending a dime. While Twitterrific for the Mac has always been free for use, our participation in the bundle means that you’ll receive a code to remove advertising from the app’s timeline.

But that’s not all. To help celebrate Ollie the Blue Bird’s inclusion in MacHeist, we’re knocking 25% off the price of Twitterrific for the iPhone for a limited time. If you’ve been using the ad-supported version of our mobile Twitter client, now would be a perfect time to pick up Twitterrific Premium for the low price of just $2.99. You’ll receive all the awesome features of Twitterrific, advertising free.

We urge you not to wait to grab either the MacHeist nanoBundle or Twitterrific Premium for iPhone. These deals won’t last long so be sure to swoop into action while you can. You won’t regret it.
