App Description
Macworld: "First, it must be noted that Twitbit's icon is unequivocally awesome. Fortunately, the pleasant experience continues when you actually launch the app."
John Gruber of Daring Fireball: "The list of iPhone Twitter clients continues to grow. But the ante keeps getting raised... Twitbit, a nice client from High Order Bit, adds something major: push notifications."
MobileCrunch: "Twitbit is a fantastic Twitter client on the iPhone."
The iPhone Blog: "Wow are these young upstart devs and apps giving the entrenched Twitter clients a race for their functionality."
Twitbit is a beautifully designed Twitter client for iPhone and iPod Touch with built-in push notifications. Twitbit is designed to keep the simple things simple. The most important features are never more than a tap away.
Twitbit was the first full-featured Twitter iPhone app to provide full support for push notifications. You'll be sent an alert when you receive a direct messages or when you're mentioned. Twitbit also supports configuring whether alerts are received for mentions and direct messages individually, on a per-account basis. Don't want push notifications at all? Just turn them off in Settings.
