I've used many Twitter clients recently. Clients ranging from Osfoora and Twitter for iPhone to Weet and Tweetaholic. Not one of them has the features that SimplyTweet has. Customizable in Preferences.app, you can customize anything from sounds to tweets loaded. There are themes and services and link shorteners, etc. It's one of those apps that puts twitter.com to shame. But what makes SimplyTweet better? The ease of use and simple user interface? The customization and how lovely it looks? The push notifications? I would say all of the above. One of the big things Twitter is said to be missing is push notifications. Most Twitter apps have a horrible design and interface to avoid being "just a Twitter" app. SimplyTweet has a great design and has managed to be original at the same time. I like it a lot and I feel it is a great Twitter app. One thing I don't like about it is how difficult (not exactly hard but inconvenient) it is to switch between Twitter accounts. That's my only recommendation for such a great app.
Graphics: 5/5 - Great design!
UI: 5/5 - Surprisingly not horrific.
Simplicity/Ease of Use: 4/5 - Account switching is not the best.
Creativity: 1/5 - Just a Twitter app in this sense.
Sound: 3/5 - Pretty! <3 Twitter app.
Controls: 5/5 - Account switching needs to be improved.
Speed: 4/5 - Not bad.
Connectivity: 5/5 - Sucks because of Twitter so I can't blame SimplyTweet.
Entertainment: 5/5 - SimplyTweet makes Twitter fun!
Value: 4/5 - Try $2.99?
Value: 4/5 - Try $2.99?
Total: 41/50 or 82% - Great! Amazing! Spectacular! Terrific!
