Twitter for Windows 8: Twitter’s official app

Just released handcrafted Windows 8 app officially from Twitter, the app is almost the clone of one for iOS devices. We found the refresh rate little sluggish while Twitter app for Windows RT is perfect because of the tablet screen resolution (problem with high resolution Windows 8 convertibles.) Ditto as Twitter’s blog says about the Twitter for Windows; the perfect Twitter app that makes it easier to tweet, share and discover content on Windows 8 devices. With a familiar look, you can take full advantage of unique Windows 8 features using this app.

Two features we liked most are creating the ultimate screen with Snap view on Windows 8 (a perfect Twitting experience) and making easier thru Tweet collage amalgaming the contents, sharing speciality via the Share Charm.

MetroTwit – the Windows RT & 8 Twitter client you’ll love

Back in old days, MetroTwit looked damn sleek and smooth. MetroTwit is available for both Windows desktop and Windows 8 (RT) mode. Inspired by Metro, oops Windows 8 mod, MetroTwit celebrates an elegant and clean user interface (UI) that’s beautiful to look at and a pleasure to read. Users can track Twitter feeds with interactive tiles and pin multiple columns on the homescreen. The only thing we disliked about MetroTwit is that – to view a single tweet you have to tap a buttom “view tweet”.

tweeTRO – Windows 8 ‘Metro-Style’ Twitter App

Oops, still using that old ‘Metro’ tag, anyway tweeTRO is one of the awesome Twitter apps for Windows 8 experience – in all means of touch, intuitiveness, and that sexy feeling of using it. tweeTRO, developed by @lazywormapps, comes with comprehensive interface that sprawls across the screen to fit in your timeline, photos and the lists and searches you add (mentions, messages and favourites open in their own panes), with slightly confusing positioning but buttons like Reply and Retweet. If you don’t mind scrolling you see more than with other Twitter apps full screen and Tweetro is definitely the best Twitter app to keep snapped into a side window so you can glance at your choice of tweets, mentions, messages, favourites or lists – and the conversation view when you reply fits neatly too. Need more, want more, the developers of tweeTRO should really come up with more new features to make it even more comprehensive and appalling.
