hmm 545.9kb ... i'm being stingy with my app space. i'll give it a try no promises.

I've only played with it but it's true that it does have most (if not all) of the features of UberTwitter with a more color UI. Only downside for me is it won't go into landscape mode on my Storm, but other than that ... it's cool.

 
 
Posted by JMagic21824 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I agree with that assessment(minus landscape mode since I'm a Tour owner). I'm digging the interface, but not digging lack of features... :-(

It doesn't look like it's made for the Storm. That's unfortunate, because if it looked as good on the storm as it does the other phones, I'd drop UberTwitter for the eye friendly UI of Twixtreme

ATTENTION ALL STORM USERS! TAKE OUT OF COMPATABILITY MODE! THIS APP DOES WORK WITH THE STORM. GO OPTIONS>ADVANCED OPTIONS>APPLICATIONS> SCROLL DOWN AND HIGHLIGHT TWIXTREME THEN HIT THE MENU BUTTON AND SELECT DISABLE COMPATIBILITY MODE. MAKE SURE YOU EXIT ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE APP THEN GO BACK IN AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY . . . THANK ME LATER

I took mine out of compatibility mode and was still haven problems with it so I went back to TwitterBerry

I'm so discusted w/UberTwitter not keeping my sign-on info everytime i reboot. I'm willing 2 try something new.

lets see if its as good as uber twitter.

 
 
Posted by berri716 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I'm getting a message saying "this application requires the following module, which is not installed: net_rim_bbapi_messagelist" ..... ummmmm???

 
 
Posted by berri716 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

got it... and i can't say that i'm a fan. it has simliar features as ubertwitter but u cant goto user and u cant view twitpics, or any pics, in the tweet... i do like though that at the top it'll say 'click for 2 new tweets'. i'll stick with ubertwitter!!!

 
 
Posted by qdenning Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Looks cool, but really how many do we need??

 
 
Posted by redwanhuq Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Many...there isn't one perfect one.

 
 
Posted by ArickInRealLife Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

THIS looks like a COOL twitter app!

I like that you can see trending topics! Time for tweetgenius to step their game up!

I have been using this for a couple days now and am pretty impressed overall. I have been using Ubertwitter for a while and slowly became fed up with it so went looking for something new. Twixtreme does have a few issues that I hope to be cleared up with future upgrades. 1 thing is now there is no way to change any options at all. They say that will be available later just not yet. I have had some issues also wont always show when new tweets are available. It will for a while then just stop. So I will do a reset on my phone and again it will for a while then just stop. These are a couple minor issues but for a first release I really like it and think that it will just get better as the feedback starts to roll in.

 
 
Posted by BerryGuy25 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Can someone please tell us if this client sends a notification to the banner on the home screen of the device??

 
 
Posted by LouisCameron Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Yes, it does when there are new Tweets in your stream, however there's no preference option to set how much time it takes to check for updates. Weird.

 
 
Posted by Mankauf Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Yes, it does on my 8520.

 
 
Posted by VDub2174 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I get one on my home screen too, but I wish I could set up and alert to notify me and a frequency for how often it updates. Although it seems to be doing it in real time and even shows the amount of new tweets received.

 
 
Posted by codemaker Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Cool looking app. I like the graphics. It is also functional. The big drawback for me is that I couldn't find any shortcut keys (I pressed every key on my keyboard). It seems only 't' for top and 'b' for bottom are supported, and they don't seem to work right*.

No shortcut keys is a deal breaker for me, that is how I do stuff in ubertwitter and socialscope (and with email and sms...). Perhaps future versions will have shortcut keys, if so I will try it out again then.

* B jumps to the bottom of the first "screenful" of tweets, not the bottom of the list.

I can't download this because I get net_rim_bbapi_messagelis. How do I fix it?

I love the GUI but the lack of features compared to UberTwitter has got me. No Video, no multiple accounts, etc. No preference option either?! (I might have overlooked it, but could not find it for the life of me yesterday.) For all I know this thing could be checking the servers every 2 minutes and drain the battery.

Go to http://www.xtremelabs.com/assets/mobile/twixtreme/4.2/twixtreme.jad The DL link posted was for 4.6 OS and above

 
 
Posted by Mankauf Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

...although TwiXtreme is very lovely. It just doesn't do everything I want it to yet. For some reason it's not detecting any of my DMs. Really fast loading time though.

There doesn't appear to be an 'in reply to' function yet? Which is something I find very useful in UberTwitter. And of course there are no additional options as with UberTwiter e.g. Gtalk status update, etc.

 
 
Posted by bird-food Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Cannot adjust the font size to fit more on the screen.

No sound profile notifications.

 
 
Posted by redwanhuq Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Still haven't seen anything that even touches SocialScope yet.

 
 
Posted by captain_dl Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I agree. I tried this for about 15 minutes, then went back to SocialScope. The facebook integration with SocialScope seals the deal for me.

 
 
Posted by y0us3f Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

no twitpic integration ? must open the website to see the pic

 
 
Posted by djforge Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

but couldn't get it to run w/o crashing after installing it.

 
 
Posted by y0us3f Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

very small icon to DM ! had to search for it

 
 
Posted by labphoto Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Would have been nice, but for some reason I can't get signed in to twitter with this client.

 
 
Posted by iwontbelost Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

very pretty but like others have said, very basic, no prefernce settings, no shortcuts and no ability to view pics within tweets...i think i'll stick with ubertwitter for now even with those annoying ads...

 
 
Posted by mfuenzalida Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I just tried TwiXtreme and it has great graphics and interface, but I can't seem to find the options menu for setting up sync interval and other setup options

Anyway, I'll keep using it for a while to get to know it

 
 
Posted by AP1618 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

tested it, removed it.. first too much memory used, second, not as many features as ubertwitter yet...
but will soon grow to that i believe...

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

This app was not designed for the Storm apparently. It was difficult to navigate with my finger and I could not hide the KB with a finger swipe. Also it does not auto orient with the accelerometer. It seems like a great app if had another BB.

Back to ÜberTwitter for now!

 
 
Posted by Roweazie Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

ubertwitter is better, IMO.

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I agree! I have tried many other BB Twitter apps, but ÜberTwitter is great!

 
 
Posted by Soutenstyle Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I actually love this. it runs really well on my storm and im not seeing any navigation issues after I turned off compatability. I love this!

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Hm, ok. I'm going to try it again.

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Thanks I just learned something about the Storm I did not know!

 
 
Posted by VDub2174 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I do really like this twitter app but some deal breakers for me would be to have alert tone support and indicator light support. If this had those features then I would use it as my main Twitter app!! UberTwitter is a great app and will use that until something better comes along. Could this be it?

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

This app shows as tweeting from "API" - I like that!!!

 
 
Posted by saxochazz Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Pity there isnt a storm version yet....looks nice.

 
 
Posted by electricgamer Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

will this upload videos as well...a big plus would of been to view twitter uploaded videos directly in the app

 
 
Posted by gingerbastard Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

much prefer using ubertwitter...

just seems easier and nicer to use, not bothered about fancy animations, I just want something simple that displays all the tweets and I suppose the lack of storm compatibility is another drawback

 
 
Posted by miller7796 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I liked it in some ways, but some of the animation was a little excessive and makes the app rather large as a result. I do like that it has a banner icon with a count of new tweets! However, no ability to change settings and a lot of extra animations led me to remove the app. Give me some options and get rid of the animation and I'd give it another shot.

 
 
Posted by jmripollg Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

What is this banner icon you speak of? I've been running it since yesterday, and haven't received any notifications of any kind whatsoever. If I close the app...nothing. If I leave it running in the background...nothing. I can't for the life of me understand how a Twitter app doesn't have any kind of notification icon and/or ringtone associated with it! I even deleted UberTwitter thinking maybe it was interfering with Twixtreme. I really like the UI, but I hope they fix these issues soon or it's back to UT

 
 
Posted by Thumper213 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

the best twitter app next to Uber.

but it fails on no reply or retweet option and concerns on twitpics. ill pass.

all hail Uber!!! (even with the ads)

 
 
Posted by bodybiz Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

All I get is an error message that says Sorry, Twitter cannot process your request at this time. Can't get past the first screen.

I think I'll stick with SocialScope

 
 
Posted by fobi740 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

i like the look alot, it needs way more functions though...and options

 
 
Posted by ericekong Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Not happy with no landscape mode on the Storm. Definitely, a large drawback. Also, just updating status seems to be an issue. It kept wanting to take a picture.

Where is the spot to configure settings on the app?

 
 
Posted by KBV1 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I'm really liking the app. No add's which is great! There could be a few improvements like an options menu and integrated twitpic so the photos show in the feed like on ubertwitter. Other then that i'm liking it.

 
 
Posted by exwindchaser Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I downloaded the app and thought it was so-so. Check out my full review on examiner.com!

its not bad but uber still better i like the bigger display of pics

 
 
Posted by PatrickDisco Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Just deleted this junk off my phone. No reply feature = fail. DELETED. Damn u ubertwitter, damn u to hell for putting in ads. YOU RUINED EVERYTHING.

 
 
Posted by c312 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I tried it on my lunch break today. I didn't like it too much on the Storm. But what I found weird is that when I went to view a user's profile in TwiXtreme (from one of my twitter accts) it opened up in SocialScope (where I was logged into my other twitter acct). Hmmm...

Posted by kalpain Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

It's just in a more inconvenient location. You have to hit enter to open someones tweet and then those options appear at the bottom of the screen. Also favorite shows up there too. This app looks cool and for me is super fast on my 8330 compared to Ubertwitter. If it had twitpic compatibility and multiple accounts I would switch to it in a hear beat. Though admittedly I would rather have the reply, retweet and favorites options in the menu rather then opening the tweet directly. But that's just me...

 
 
Posted by Grimagination Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I'm giving this a shot; although beware it is a sizeable app at around 530kb or so. The cons: I didn't like the small retweet icons and actually unfollowed someone because of it. I also use direct message quite a bit so the lack of alert is in need of attention for the next upgrade. Now the positives: I did like the look of the app and unlike Uber it sort of "stops" where the old tweets end alerting you that new ones have arrived. You can also modify your profile within TwiX.

Overall Uber still has a slight edge but for a new release TwiX has a very strong showing. Lookout Uber, the kid is in town.

No reply and beats up my battery. Urber iam all yours still..lol

 
 
Posted by framos8 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1001 days ago

i tried it out for a few hours and its slow. i myself am a SocialScope user, but for those who havent gotten the invite i would stick with UberTwitter or TwitterBerry.

Clicked the link on my Curve & got the following:
This application requires the following module, which is not installed:
net_rim_bbapi_messagelist

I'd love to try this app. Any help?

 
 
Posted by BullVon Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1001 days ago

Downloaded it, tried it, deleted it. It works, but Uber Twitter is the best Twitter client IMO.
It's not bad, just not my preference.

 
 
Posted by Titan808 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1001 days ago

I like this one, have not had a single problem and the UI is better then Uber IMO. So far so good very solid on my 8330.

 
 
Posted by mrKaqz Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

oh no! it doesn't support twitting in Thai.
sorry I can't deal with that.

 
 
Posted by Hosehead13 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

I tried a retweet and it cut off about 75% of the message, even though it was well below 160 characters...

500+K is a bit brutish for a hopping bluebird...

 
 
Posted by fondoo Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

i am liking this. its more purtier than yatca.

 
 
Posted by curlynugrowth Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

Its a nice app..but it doesn't support multiple accounts, and everything is accessed through the menu, there is no scrolling or using the trackball ...

 
 
Posted by badger5940 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

I tried to download the app and when I do I get the following notice: "This application requires the following module which is not installed: net_rim_bbapi_messagelist"
Can some one tell me how to get this app and how to install it!! I have a Verizon 8330 Curve.

thanks,

 
 
Posted by Mich321 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

Download successful and got it to go landscape, but for the life of me, everytime I try to sign in I get kicked back to home screen. Uninstalled and still using Uber!

 
 
Posted by kehlerpa Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

Have all of you who are so happy with UberTwitter tried SocialScobe? They have been really fast about sending ota links to those who sign up lately and it blows UberTwitter out of the water.

That is all

 
 
Posted by kehlerpa Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

SocialScope lol

 
 
Posted by crizin Saturday, Aug 29, 2009 999 days ago

Looks Good! But it seems to have problems with multi-byte languages

 
 
Posted by fkyc Saturday, Aug 29, 2009 999 days ago

I love the interface of the app. More importantly I love the home screen alert showing the # of new unread tweets. Problem is after 2 days of using it, the app seems to have problem updating tweets. I went through a day with no alerts, went in to the Home page found no new updates. Got curious, started up UT, and found a long list of updates I didn't get via TwiExtreme.

I had to exit TwiExtreme and restart the app before all the new tweets came flooding in. As many others have mentioned, there's no setting option. I would stick with UT until the bugs are taken out. Looking forward to the next update!

 
 
Posted by phreaker18 Monday, Aug 31, 2009 997 days ago

Well i have it installed ... working great !! i like the nice UI .. the only thing i couldnt figure out was how to upload a pic... i couldnt find a way to get into options coz i dont think there r any ... the main reason i like this over Ubertwitter is that this works on WiFi and UberTwitter doesnt !!

i would greatly appreciate it if someone would kindly tell me how to upload pics ... thanks a lot

 
 
Posted by cuvee Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 994 days ago

i've tried/used all the twitapps for bb out there and this one def raises the bar. it's very colourful and fun. the little icons are cool too but hard to see (eg star to favorite, arrow to reply, etc) so would be nice if bigger next version)

worth a gander and you may find you like it too. i'm glad to see such a nice polished first release!
