Tweetings for Twitter released for BlackBerry 10 devices

By Michelle Haag on 17 Feb 2013 01:04 pm

If you've recently upgraded to a new BlackBerry Z10 you may have noticed that the selection of Twitter apps is somewhat lacking. The official client feels unfinished and has quite a few bugs, and while there are a couple of other options if you look for them, not everyone will be happy with the choices. Luckily, developers are working on their apps and slowly but surely they're showing up in BlackBerry World. The latest to be released is Tweetings.

Tweetings is an Android port, though it does run pretty well on BlackBerry 10 from what I've seen. It's got quite a few features that users are coming to expect from Twitter clients, such as streaming timelines, mute by user, word, or app, Inline image preview, support for multiple accounts, and more. While it doesn't feel as natural to use compared to the native BlackBerry 10 client due to its Android origins, it's still pretty user friendly and easy to navigate. Plus, there are quite a few customization options so you can make it more your own style. Tweetings for Twitter can be purchased for $1.99 in BlackBerry World for your BlackBerry 10 device.

No way in hell is @BruvvaPete paying to Tweet. Ever.

May i ask why not? Wasn't that the whole point of enabling Android ports? To have more applications in the Blackberry World, helping developers make more money by developing for both or one than import? With that creating more opportunities? Imagine if these same developers decide to say the Hell with BlackBerry....then what? :(

No way will I pay to tweet from an Android port lol.

Umedon Feb 17, 2013 at 2:28 pm

I and lots of others feel the same way

Michelle Haag Feb 17, 2013 at 5:54 pm

It's fine if you don't want to buy an app. However, name calling is not cool. Cut it out.

koool1 Feb 17, 2013 at 1:58 pm

I think I will wait for a better native app. Hope to see Blaq come over from Playbook soon!

joesworld Feb 17, 2013 at 2:44 pm

I'm also excited to see Blaq on BB10... hope it's soon!

Wilkerson4492 Feb 17, 2013 at 4:54 pm

I also want Blaq to come to the Z10. I love it on my Playbook!

ps4rh Feb 17, 2013 at 8:22 pm

I'm waiting on Blaq as well (I'm missing TweetMarker support why doesn't Twitter do that natively?) though I hope it's less janky when it does make it over.

I haven't seen the equal of Rowi on WP on any platform.

I really hope to see Ubersocial really soon.

No one should pay for an android port ever.

Garrett92C Feb 17, 2013 at 4:32 pm

Dev ports Android app.
No one buys it.
Dev assumes there is no money to be made on BB10.

You should be supporting all your devs. The BB10 ecosystem isn't mature enough for you guys to be picky.

Snipperdo17 Feb 17, 2013 at 5:42 pm

No one should pay for a lousy effort either

misskalunji Feb 17, 2013 at 10:37 pm

why do you call it a "lousy" effort? he still had to code it no? :)

Hobbes2099 Feb 18, 2013 at 5:54 pm

of course you should! It's called "taxes"!! :d
seriously though, an Android port is not bad per sé; we should try it out before passing judgement.

Garrett92C Feb 17, 2013 at 4:16 pm

Instead of hating on the dev, why don't you appreciate that people are willing to create/port apps to BB10? Tweetings is an incredible Twitter app.

Camelhmpz Feb 17, 2013 at 4:21 pm

+1 IMHO Ports being successful now, leads to native BB10 apps later.

nasi goreng Feb 17, 2013 at 4:45 pm

+1
I've tried scope, tweetcaster, the native app. One thing I like about the native app is the pushed notification, hope other would have the same features if possible.

allen832008 Feb 17, 2013 at 9:37 pm

Not sure how it works as Android port, but Tweetings supports push on iOS and Android.

alpinechem Feb 17, 2013 at 5:49 pm

This developer is out of his freaking mind. $2.00 for Android port and it doesn't even work that well. I am not going to pay for it.

Michelle Haag Feb 17, 2013 at 5:56 pm

How do you know how well it works if you didn't buy it? :P

I'm waiting for Blaq
.... will never pay for Android Port, feeling is not the same as native and what I really need is:
Tweet --> share with Remember (or copy Tweet) where complete Tweet is copied into my Remember Notes. this will fill the Gap between Mobile and Desktop - many times I want to take a look at a tweet later at home from my desktop.
Share With / Copy Tweet fails with current native app - copies tweet content only partially
so waiting for Twitter update or Jerome's Blaq

Joy1980 Feb 18, 2013 at 6:42 am

Paying for the port is the not the point. Paying for the effort is the issue. I think it had to do with the fact that before making a native client for BB was very difficult, listening to many of the developers. So we rewarded our developers by purchasing the apps that they made native. But the word out of the Dev Jams are that developing native clients for BB 10 is way easier than with BB OS and porting apps are easier. Hell, even we know how to sideload them.

The effort that was put into this app is very minimal, he reused the screenshots from the Google Play store and if you see his website, you will realise that Android is a distant second on his priority list and we are barely an afterthought.

Rootbrian Feb 20, 2013 at 12:56 am

For F@#k's sake, give the developer some slack people!! SO WHAT IF IT'S A GOD DARN PORT?!?! As long as we have APPS, you SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN. This just shows how idiotic people really are. STOP BEING SO DAMN CRUEL AND IGNORANT!!!!! Don't even tell me not to use caps either.

bigmac_4000 Feb 20, 2013 at 12:14 pm

I bought this first day it was released and it worked good, then the second time I loaded all the inline pictures were just white boxes. So I closed the app opened it and got the error "SORRY! The application Tweetings (process com.dwdesign.tweetings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Since then i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times, ive tried writing to the company with no reply back. i manually went into android app and uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Nothing will make the program work and i can't get a refund. If anyone has seen this and fixed it please let me know how.
Thanks
