By Gustavo Franceschini | Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 12:32PM
Twitter iPad app named Quip has been updated today with lots of new features and even a new name, Tweetglass.
It features:
- View your Twitter Lists
- Streaming (over wifi, when auto-refresh is on in Settings)
- Auto-refresh intervals of 1, 5 or 10min (or manual refresh)
- A new 'Who's tweeting' notification UI which lets you see who is posting new tweets without having to change your position in the timeline
- Read Later services (Instapaper, Pocket and Readability) via long-tapping links, which also now includes Copy link, Open link and Open in Safari
- Localizations for French, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
- Better timeline scrolling performance
- Native Twitter pics are larger and show more detail
- Double-tap the Messages icon to mark all as read
- New animation when expanding and collapsing conversations
- When set to auto-refresh (which changes to streaming when there is a wifi network), new tweets appear above if you're partway through your timeline, but if you're at the very top, they push everything else down so you can keep it open at your desk and go hands-free.
- UI tweaks & bug fixes
The app is available for $0.99 in the App Store [iTunes Link].
