Tapbots today launched its long-awaited Tweetbot 4 update, which brings a slew of important changes to the popular Twitter client. Most notably, today's update expands support to the iPad, making Tweetbot 4 a universal app for the first time and bringing an updated look to the tablet version of the app.
Tweetbot 4 on iPad, landscape mode
Tweetbot for the iPad has not been updated since June of 2014 and it was never given a refreshed look in line with the design updates introduced in iOS 7, so today's new iPad app is a welcome change. On the iPad, Tweetbot 4 includes the same clean design that was introduced on the iPhone with Tweetbot 3. Tweetbot 4 includes support for Apple's newest operating system, iOS 9, and it works with the split-screen multitasking feature on Apple's newer iPads.

For the first time, Tweetbot 4 introduces a landscape view that's available on the iPad and the iPhone. In landscape mode on the iPhone 6/6s Plus or iPad, the app is able to display two windows side-by-side, so users can watch their timelines and another section like mentions or lists at the same time.

Feature wise, the new Tweetbot includes a Statistics and Activity View. The Activity View displays Twitter's feed of recent follows, comments, and retweets, while the Statistics View gives a daily overview of retweets, follows, and favorites, all displayed on a graph.

Profiles have been redesigned to be more streamlined, and the user interface has a tweaked look that updates the colors and includes a redesigned Tweet window. Along with this, Tapbots has also included several under-the-hood optimizations that are designed to make Tweetbot 4 run better.

Tweetbot 4 is a new app that's priced at $4.99 for all users, new and old. The $4.99 price is a limited time offer to celebrate launch, after which the price will go up to $9.99. Previous Twitter users who purchased Tweetbot 3 will continue to be able to get Tweetbot 4 for $4.99 even after the launch sale has ended via a bundle discount that Tapbots is offering. [Direct Link]
