And The Best Android Twitter Client Is…

And The Best Android Twitter Client Is…

….TweetCaster!

After having switched to Android (check my posts on my new Droid/Milestone here and here) one of the apps I missed the most is my faithful SocialScope, the best app to manage Twitter and Facebook available for BlackBerry. So a question arised: is there a Twitter app for Android that is comparable to SocialScope in terms of features and usability?

After some research, I downloaded (and paid for) Twidroid. It seemed to be the best: multiple accounts, lots of settings, support for the latest features introduced by Twitter, easy to use and so on. Then I downloaded Seesmic. Despite it provides a lot less features than Twidroid (no multiple accounts, no new retweet feature etc.), I found it much more usable and I liked the user interface better (and it is free, too). Moreover, less buggy. Twidroid is incredibly buggy (found a lot of users complaining), lots of unexpected exits, graphical issues and so on.

Last but not least, I came accross a review of TweetCaster for Android. While I knew it already for BlackBerry, I was surprised to read that it was not available for Android yet but it was going to be tested by a bunch of beta tester. In a nutshell, according to the reviews, very promising.

After some Googling I found a link from which I could download and install the app (not official, I guess…). Guys, definitely the best. All the advanced features you need are there, very usable and polished, it works very well for both a power user like me or for the “average” user. Multiple accounts, trends, search pad, threads, lists, favorites, themes and so on. Really very well designed and implemented.

I look forward to the official release, hopefully available on the Android Market, too. Would I pay for it? Yes!
