I love UberTwitter. I have used a few other, but this has been the easiest and most functional I have found - for me that is.

I like the all the options that are available including notifications and font size. Also like the icon which shows how many new updates have been posted. It's also very stable. Never had an issue with it.

I started out on another twitter client for the storm. It didn't have all the functionality that ubertwitter has and it seems to get the job done. I've actually uninstalled Viigo because of the amount of memory it takes up and subscribed to all my RSS feed tweets and use ubertwitter for that as well. Its kind of like a one stop shop.

Ubertwitter is my Twitter app of choice because of the ease of use, but also it has a lot of options which allow the end user to customize the look of the program to their preference. I also enjoy the notification icon letting me know how may updates there are so that I don't have to keep scrolling thru the updates when I check.

I've tryed almost all and I rate as follows- good to best:
TB, UT,SS. Interested what Tweeteev will be like. But UT is available to all. SocialScope requires an invitation- due to alpha testing - and it blows away the competition - it just has a self imposed restriction while it is being updated. I would pay for SS - it's that good :).

I agree. SocialScope is great! Does everything I need in Twitter, Facebook and FourSquare.

it represents. the only thing i wish i could do is send a DM to someone thats not following me. i have twitterberry, ubertwitter, the tweetgenius and the wack tweetcaster. but i use UB on the reg

 
 
Posted by mritter88 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I'm pretty sure that's a Twitter restriction, not a missing feature in UberTwitter. The person always needs to be following you in order to DM them, even if you do it straight from twitter.com.

i knew it was very cool n that's why i use that!! that's amazin!

1. The icon is one nice thing about Ubertwitter. An app that doesn't have a visually appealing icon probably wont get as many downloads just because people won't want to look at it on their home screens.

2. Every tweet sends out a mapped location of where I'm at. This function can be turned on or off in case you're dodging stalkers.

3. This one may sound stupid but some people (including me) just like the word "Uber". Its one of those nerdy gamer words that describe that endgame weapon or epic rare-drop gear that just makes you feel good.

Those are really the only things that stand out from other twitter clients to me.

I started off using Ubertwitter and loved it. Then i moved to TweetGenius and loved the interface and being the simple twitter user i am, i found i didn't need all the other functions available on ubertwitter. But i do find that tweetgenius does lag a bit. I just recently got invited to use Social Scope and have been using this as my preferred communication device. I love the ability to see Twitter and Facebook in one app and post messages to both, either/or!

Socialscope is also the smoothest in terms of no lag whatsoever!..What does the Full version of Socialscope have that the "lite" version doesn't? I'm curious.!

I used TwitterBerry and I was not pleased with it. Once I tried Ubertwitter, I haven't stopped tweeting since. I love that app...

 
 
Posted by bigbuda Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I tried a few differnt clients, but I found that Ubertwitter works faster and better plus I can do everything like I was at home and a lil more!

 
 
Posted by berryfit Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Sorry to be picky, but this makes no sense. If as you said, "UberTwitter accounts for 1.26 percent of BlackBerry Twitter users" and the others .87 and .35% then that only adds up to 2.48%!

Do you have better numbers or is something else using the 97.52%...OR Did you mean that its that percentage for TWITTER users, and not BLACKBERRY TWITTER users..Im a little confused.

 
 
Posted by xDAKx Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

It's likely that quite a few don't see a need for a client on their mobile device, and then simply use the text function (40404) or use Mobile Web.

 
 
Posted by yasuragi Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

If you bother to read the blurb, it clearly states:

"UberTwitter accounts for 1.26 percent of Twitter users"

Not Blackberry Twitter users: Twitter users.

The other 97.52% would be Twitteriffic, TwitterFox, TweetDeck, Tweetie, etc., etc. users. Along with web users, of course.

Personally I also use UberTwitter. I was not impressed by either TwitterBerry or SocialScope. The reasons are as follows:

1) The UI is more visually appealing to me than the others.
2) The simplicity of the program while still offering full functionality.
3) The adaptability of the program to the user's needs.
4) The program is not a memory hog.
5) The price.

I discovered UberTwitter through Crackberry and haven't looked back since. It's so much faster than TwitterBerry and has a lot more features.

 
 
Posted by simplycomplex Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

twitterberry caused too many problems on my storm and my curve. I love Ubertwitter because its more user-friendly and it never causes any problems on my storm

 
 
Posted by sizzlethemonster Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Is a great app for the bb, it makes everything so easy for me, especially RT'ing.

 
 
Posted by djjackm Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I am a user of it, and I am a huge fan of it.

I started my BB Tweeting with Twitterberry, but was annoyed with the fact that (at the time) tweets were truncated and you had to click on the entry to view the entire thing.

I moved to UT and was impressed with its speed, built-in-twitpic previewing, and, of course, ability to show the full tweet on the main screen.

Throw in GPS support, support for gestures on the Storm, and nice little features like "reply all", and you have a killer Twitter app for the Storm.

 
 
Posted by Clavs Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I just got twitterberry last night and was having connection issue because I was on my wireless network at work. Checking Ubertwitter now to see how that goes for me.

 
 
Posted by Clavs Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I love it, and have only used it for 10 minutes. :)

 
 
Posted by linkkoriri Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

UberTwitter just has so much going for it. It's super easy to use first off. It's beautiful looking with the light colours and larger Profile Pictures. And it is super fast, even on my Pearl Flip, which isnt exactly a fast phone. And I love when it runs in the background, it dings when you get a tweet, and changes the Icon so you know what the ding was. I just only wish they could code it so there would be a little icon along the top where it tells you how many tweets you have that are new, like with messages and facebook, but this app still rocks!

 
 
Posted by Duvi Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Because SocialScope has not hit the public yet.

 
 
Posted by joeberrymomma Monday, Feb 21, 2011 356 days ago

Happy to have SocialScope, yet, I do wonder what they are waiting for to go public?

 
 
Posted by serpico Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I've been using it since it was reported here. I like the search and trend functions, and it was the first one on the scene with it. So I dumped Twitterberry. Not sure if there are others, but the closed betas of some, have put me off. I've sent requests months ago. Unless something better comes out that gives us the iphone appearance and use, I don't see too many people leaving ubertwitter any time soon.

 
 
Posted by berryromancewriter Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I tried TB and did not like it all. But I am wondering about this icon notification because I don't have that on my Bold and how do you set up UT for RSS feeds. I have been using my browser for that which works great, but if I can do it through UT that would be even better. My UT is version 0.78.

 
 
Posted by fyrfyter Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

This is why UberTwitter is so popular, and why so many like it. It also has advanced features that are easy to use too. My only complaint so far, is that sometimes, you have to dig through several menus to get what you are looking for. I am sure when Tweeteev hits, this will all change again. It seems like for Twitter, whomever can come up with the best UI and features, is going to be the winner.

 
 
Posted by alonesoul Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I have tried most of them including Yatca, TweetGenius and SocialScope.

Yatca is perfect if you just want inbox integration.

Tweetgenius was pretty but not as good as Ubertwitter.

Socialscope was great. It does lack the trendline and public timeline options. I switched back not because of Twitter support, but the superficial Facebook support.

So far Ubertwitter is king. For a stripped down version, Yatca is my next choice. However if Socialscope improves Facebook support, and TweetGenius lives up to its name in the next release, they could be unseated.

 
 
Posted by striggity Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

TweetGenius looks nice but slowed my curve down entirely too much. TwitterBerry was just clunky and unintuitive. I waited MONTHS for a SocialScope invite, and when I got it, I was THOROUGHLY unimpressed. UberTwitter, to me, is wonderful. Simple, nice to look at, and functional.

 
 
Posted by jbairdjr Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I have been using Social Scope the last couple of weeks, and I uninstalled Ubertwitter. I cant believe that Social Scope is in closed beta. When they open it up and allow everyone to download it, they will be a very strong number 1. It really is that good.

 
 
Posted by gabrielmendes Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Simplicity, speed, lot of functions, it's like my desktop twirl in my Storm, don't have to say more, compared with another bb twitter clients it's freaking awesome!! really...

 
 
Posted by talltubatom Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Geo tag, search function, ease of use, ability to delete tweets. UberTwitter is the only reason I even tweet. Best ap, I think it is better than the desktop version. Follow me @tallbrewman

 
 
Posted by mvpBosh Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

Twitterberry only has that much market share because SocialScope is by invite only.

 
 
Posted by mantheron Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I used ubertwitter until I got my invite to socialscope. There are still a couple features I miss, but the picture handeling and facebook integration make it worth the switch.

 
 
Posted by DGoard Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

If I didnt have socialscope I would use Ubertwitter. I would probably pay for SS as well. Uber is a little more of a battery hog than SS but it is a good client IMHO

 
 
Posted by stayfly Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I've tried different twitter apps and this by far is the best one because it does everything two its free which is always a win win situation.

 
 
Posted by LuLu051705 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I had a Twitter account for a little bit and the concept behind is just stupid. All you do is update your status-big whoop. I canceled mine because I can update my status on Facebook just as easy and there's way more cool stuff to do. So sorry I think Twitter is a huge waste of time and I don't understand why everyone thinks it's so great.

 
 
Posted by Queen4111 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I like Ubertwitter.
I wish it had Homescreen Notifications on the BlackBerry, then it would be PERFECT!!!!!

 
 
Posted by contractorslim Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I agree very much so! We need a notification Icon in the banner of our BB

 
 
Posted by BerryGuy25 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

No home screen notification and no notification period!! This is the only flaw with UberTwitter that I find. I don't have UT as one of the first 6 icons on my BOLD so I have to press the menu key to find it and see if it's updated. UT needs to get a notification icon up in the top banner AND/OR some type of regular notification at least...anyone notice when you go to your sound profiles, UT is listed there? I've set it to make noise but this never goes off... so frustrating when you find out you've missed like 10 tweets! >_<

Besides that UT is great.

 
 
Posted by willaise Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

photo integration in tweets, optional gps location addition, if some one texts you their username you can open their timeline right from the messaging app. Only complaint is sometimes the photo upload time takes a really long time then fails.

 
 
Posted by Teddyp6 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

I didnt like Twitterberry and I think Ubertwitter has more options. I tried Yatca as well, but thus far ubertwitter is my fave.

 
 
Posted by lequensky Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

it to slow i like the new app tweet caster

 
 
Posted by dkh7m Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

i've tried several BB twitter clients. UT is by far the best IMO. not surprising that so many others feel that way as well. the only improvements i'd like to see are homescreen alerts and support for multiple twitter accounts. i saw another client recently that allowed for multiple accounts, but the UI was nowhere near as nice as UT.

 
 
Posted by contractorslim Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

This is by far the easiest twitter client for beginners that is out! I recommend it over them all to anyone new to twitter that has blackberry! I also love it over Tweet Genius, Twitterberry, TinyTwitter, and Tweetcaster....so come on @Tweeteev put something out before @SocialScope comes out of beta!

We really need a client to support multiple accounts!

 
 
Posted by eve6er69 Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

i use ubertwitter from day one and it is a great app. i used it all the way up untill i got my socialscope invite. now i dont need to use it anymore.

it is one of the greatest twitter apps avail exc SS, lol

 
 
Posted by rlevine Thursday, Aug 06, 2009 920 days ago

i started with twitterberry and had nothing but problems. it would never update automatically even if i kept it running. i'd have to re-open to program or refresh it. i was never able to upload photos. i've also heard similar complaints from a few other twitterberry users. i tried ubertwitter and have never had a problem. i recommended ubertwitter to the users that were having problems with twitterberry and lo and behold - next day i see their tweets with the words "posted from ubertwitter" under it.
