![]() The compose window slides in from the top.The pop-up window is much less confusing than sliding in a new ‘sheet’ like Twitter for Mac does. I have no clue why this isn’t standard on Mac Twitter apps, like it is iOS. No drag and drop support for posting pictures - I mean I guess sending the file path for the picture could be useful at times.((In the past I hated the live stream, but now it has really grown on me.)) No live streaming of the Twitter feed, which at this point is basic and mandatory.So I can’t view the entire conversation thread, I just see messages in a confusing and un-helpful way. This is my biggest gripe: the direct messages show up as a random hodgepodge based on the time sent.You can’t close image windows (Twitpic and the like) with the keyboard.There is a badge on the dock icon with a new tweet count, I never have been a fan of badge counts (exception on Mail.app).If you want two accounts you need to pay $9.99 - which is silly given that Twitter for Mac is free.Light mode’s colors are not so good - particularly the mention color.Not to mention that you can only resize the window to a certain point before you are forced to collapse the sidebar to continue to make the app a useable size. You also can’t collapse saved searches or global trends (though you can remove the trends). Twitter clients should always feel like small-apps and not like full-blown apps ((Who likes the way TweetDeck looks?)) - Twitterrific fails at this. ![]() Even with all icons removed it is still just too thick. The title bar with all the icons is very imposing and throws off the balance of the entire app.You could get used to this, but you shouldn’t have to get used to non-sense like this. Your new tweet, that was at the top of where you had read, is now mixed in with a jumble of other tweets. Then when Twitterrific does update, the new tweets jump into position where they should be in the timeline. After you post a tweet your Twitter stream is not updated, so you see your new tweet at the top of the old tweets.I know a lot of people have been waiting for this app, but frankly it is just not a great app. As most Mac Twitter users are aware, Twitterrific 4 was released.
