After having been beta-tested for the last
couple months, the new Twitter v5.0 app for Android has finally been
released to all users, with a very mixed critical reception.
If you've been participating in the Twitter alpha or beta programs on
Android, this is really nothing new - the latest update adds new
features like photos in DMs and the ability to filter your notification
timeline, but otherwise, this is the same app you've been using for a
while.
For everyone else, this is a massive upheaval - the UI is completely
different, there are major changes to the layout, and a lot of things
have moved around. Predictably, this has angered quite a few people -
just check out some of the reviews on the Play Store page
from today. That new UI, if it's new to you, is still based on tabs,
though those tabs are now swipeable, and there is a persistent compose
area on the bottom of your three main columns (Home, Discover,
Activity). This compose element does go away when you scroll down, but
numerous users are already complaining about it taking up screen space.
DMs are now accessed through a dedicated button in the navigation bar
up top, and notifications no longer is its own column, but rather a
button on the nav bar alongside the aforementioned DMs shortcut. This is
a bit reminiscent of Google+, actually.
Anyway, the new update is live, love it or hate it, and you can read more about a couple of the new features on Twitter's blog, here.
Thank you for another fantastic posting. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a speech next week, and I was looking for more info.
