App Description

Birdfeed is a very nice Twitter client for iPhone.

FEATURES

- Clean, Simple Design

We love the iPhone too, so we made sure Birdfeed feels like it came with your phone. We're as proud of the things we left out as we are of the things we put in.

- Local Caching

Birdfeed doesn't stop working when the network does. It remembers your timeline and allows you to catch up on past tweets while you're flying, riding the subway, or hiking on a back country road.

- SMS-Style Direct Messages

Birdfeed direct messages the way you think about them: as conversations. It's like using Apple's SMS app for your direct messaging--without the embarassment of accidental public posts.

- Notifications That Make Sense

Birdfeed tells you what you need to know, when you need to know it. You'll see unread counts where they make sense--for new direct messages and mentions.

- Refresh Timestamps

Ever paged back through a day's worth of tweets and wished you could easily see where you left off in the stream? Birdfeed helps you remember where you were by placing a permanent timestamp indicator in your timeline whenever you load new tweets. Even if you quit the app and don't launch it again all day, you'll have a bookmark waiting for you.
