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 896 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'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 896 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 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by redwanhuq Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by ArickInRealLife Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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.

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 896 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 896 days ago

Yes, it does on my 8520.

 
 
Posted by VDub2174 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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.

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 896 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 896 days ago

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

No sound profile notifications.

 
 
Posted by redwanhuq Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by captain_dl Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by djforge Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by y0us3f Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

very small icon to DM ! had to search for it

 
 
Posted by labphoto Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 days ago

ubertwitter is better, IMO.

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by Soutenstyle Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by q5ypdg9 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by VDub2174 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by saxochazz Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by electricgamer Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 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 896 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
