Say Hello to Tweetbot for iPad

Ever since the launch of Tweetbot, many of you have been asking us for an iPad version. Unfortunately there’s a lot of work involved because it’s not as simple as just making everything bigger. Our goal for the iPad app was to provide a familiar Tweetbot experience while making use of the iPad’s larger size. Well today we are happy to announce Tweetbot for the iPad!
As with the original Tweetbot for iPhone, version 1.0 is about getting you a solid first version. We still have a lot of work ahead of us so we appreciate your support! We have a lot of great stuff coming in the pipeline.
We are anticipating some of you wondering why the app is not universal so let me briefly explain. As you know, releasing quality software takes a lot of time. We anticipated working on the iPad version for around 3 months. It turned out to be over 6. We love what we do, but the bottom line is Tapbots is a business and the end goal is for us to make a living. We are just 2 guys at this company both with a family/kids to take care of. We also think charging $3 for each version is fair considering most of the other universal twitter apps charge more. If you don’t have an iPhone or iPad, you aren’t stuck paying more for a universal version.
So that’s about it! We hope you enjoy the new app and we will be working hard on bringing you improvements. Buy Tweetbot for the iPad here!
Oh yeah?
Was expecting flashbots, I appear to have been let down.
It’s definitely Tweetbot for iPad. In Tweetbot 2.0 were some hints found.
iPad, here we go.
Please don’t do this to me.
I knew it!
Go on….
iPad version… Oooh yes!
Please be iPad!!!!
Tweetbot for iPad
Yeah!
If it’s not TweetBot for iPad, I’m going to be disappointed. ;-)
Hacked into their wordpress, read the draft and: It’s gonna be FartBot!

Android?
Guess what it’s not Tweetbot for Ipad it’s Tweetbot for android ;)
if this isn’t Tweetbot for iPad or a whole new app altogether, i’m going to be disappointed.
(there’s no way this isn’t Tweetbot 2.0 for iPad) :p
Still kinda sucks that it isn’t a universal app, i’m not a fan of paying for paying twice for two versions. :\
universal version iphone and ipad!! immediate buy!
Tweetbot for Mac! :P
@Rawen
It’d be nice not to have to pay for anything, but if a significant amount of work went into an iPad port, then they deserve some cheddar.
I would love Tweetbot for Mac more than Tweetbot for iPad.
Everyone quit your bitching about them charging for an iPad version, if that’s what this is. You probably just spent $5 on a cup of coffee this morning.
Can somebody on a Jailbroken device take a look in the code of TweetBot 2.0, maybe there is a hint to an iPad version, if not this is gonna be a Mac version. Or FartBot, BeerBot or MailBot
Now if it’s Tweetbot for Mac, then I’ll still be happy. I love all the bots you put out!
I don’t know what I want more Tweetbot for iPad or Mac.
Fringe09, Check out Reeder
Ooooh Tweetbot for Mac would be sweet! Make it happen!
Oh snap. This is kind of exciting!
And yes, tweetbot for mac AND or iPad would be awesome.
tweetbot for mac would be so hot. until the iPad 3 is released i don’t care about an iPad version
I would be really happy with twitlonger support!
tweetlonger support would be more than welcome but i feel they would have done it in this update already
(http://)tapbots(.)com/software/flashbot/ get rid of the ()()!!

Yeah tweetbot for mac would be awesome!!
Tweetbot for iPad, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!
I would GLADLY pay for an iPad version of Tweetbot. Coupled with the new version of Tweetbot for iPhone, my Twitter needs would be fully met.
It’s been retweeted over 3,000 times…
So come on, tell us already :)
A Mac OS X version of Tweetbot would be awesome.
Please free us from the tyranny of Twitter for iPad.
It is Tweetbot for iPad. Check this out for proof: http://www.macstories.net/reviews/tweetbot-for-ipad-review/
TAKE MY MONEY. I GIVE IT WILLINGLY.
YES, I MUST YELL THIS.
I would like a flashlight, as was promised on twitter.
TweetBot for iPad would be insane! I would gladly pay double to iOS-app (read: $5.99) to get it on iPad, the current experience on iPad isn’t too good.
Wow I guess I should have refreshed the page…AWESOME!!
If you are complaining about spending $3 on an app you should probably switch to Android, lots of free spyware there.
Tweetbot for iPad it seems. Enjoy iPad owners. Now, about that Mac version…. :)
Click on software button. What do you see?
$2.99 is cheap!!! Way to go guys. Downloading right now.
I think that you should expand as a business. The apps you sell are top drawer, but I would like to see you turn out more apps more often. iPad apps please, even if we have to re-pay for them.
Ohh my…
Mac client, please!
There it is! http://tapbots.com/software/tweetbot/ipad/
+1 for TweetBot for Mac
Tweetbot for iPad!
Just thought I’d stop by and congratulate you on getting Tweetbot or iPad out. I snapped it up right away and think it’s really neat. I’ve been using the iPhone version for over a year now, probably much longer so I’ll admit to letting a little scream out when I saw it. :)
I wonder if you have plans for an OS X version? I know you’ve got enough on your plate, but if ever you do consider it I’ll be one of your first purchasers. :)
Please give us Tweetbot for Mac PLEASE!!
> Android?
Hahahahahahaha. No.
TweetBot for Mac next please :)
Any chance of adding the ability to “remember” your position across devices using TweetBot?
Just purchased the iPad version and it looks/works great. Annoying that it doesn’t pick up where I left off on my iPhone.
Jason: You can use Tweetmarker under Accounts -> Sync, works well.
Jason^
Perhaps you should look around the app a little bit more. They have supported Tweet Marker for a good amount of time..
Yay, Twetbot for iPad is finally here! $2.99 is a steal; I would’ve gladly paid $20.00. The least I can do is gift both the iPhone and iPad versions to my daughter.
Is this free if you bought the iPhone version?
+1 Tweetbot for mac!
On my iPad 2 running latest firmware, and not jailbroken, it isn’t able to read my twitter accounts from iOS. I authenticated my main one, but even after a re-install, it doesn’t see anything else, while all other apps do…Anyone else having this problem?
Great work on Tweetbot for iPad. Would love to eventually see a Tweetbot for Mac.
Looks amazing!
I’d be happy to pay more for a universal version, two versions of the same app is just messy to me.
universal version iphone and ipad!
Tweetbot for Mac please! Or, as Fringe09 requested, a Google Reader app.
small tweet marker quirk.. i scroll to the top of my tweets on tweetbot for iphone. close the app so that tweet marker syncs. i then open tweetbot on ipad and tweet marker syncs to the last tweet the ipad was at before, instead of scrolling to the iphone-synced most recent post. working as intended?
yay!!!!!!!!!
“Is this free if you bought the iPhone version?”
Did you, like, you know, read any of the blog?
Twitter is also a company and I presume they want to make money too, yet their app is universal and free.
TweetBot is a great app, I personally prefer it to many of the cheaper apps available. I’ve been using it on my iPhone since the summer of 2011.
I agree that three bucks isn’t a huge expense but I think I already paid five dollars (yes, I know it’s three dollars now) for the iPhone version.
That you state “we are a company, we want money … your money” does not impress me at all; it actually feels like a slap in the face.
Aaron, the problem with that reasoning is that Twitter’s primary source of revenue is not obtained through the sale of apps. Twitter’s official apps are merely an extension of their service that allows more accessibility to their product.
Tapbots, on the other hand is an app company. They make their money purely through the sale of their apps. There is no ad revenue that I’m assuming Twitter makes much of its money from, for example.
If this was merely a mediocre port of the iPhone app, then I’d be kinda outraged. Fortunately, this app takes the best parts of the iPhone app and makes it work even better with the iPad’s strengths. For that, I think that it is worth the additional $3.
This is awesome!! I’m a recent Tweetbot fan and am stoked that it’s also available on the iPad now. Downloaded it w/out hesitation and started recommending it to friends immediately. Great job on the app.
Do you think you’ll ever do a desktop version for the Mac App Store?
Im sure the iPad version is great, great way to get more users for both platforms. I’m not sure the iPad twitter app is bad enough to pay another $3 to enjoy tweetbot on the iPad. Re-paying for an app to get it on iPad…. sloppy. I can assume I will get a hate reply from a hardcore tweetbot fan for my opinion.
Hi there,
I love Tweetbot, but I’m not sure I like some of the changes in V2.0. Single tapping links makes it harder to bring up the contextual menu for that tweet. I prefer the old style where you can press to select the tweet cell anywhere or double press to select the handle or link. This is especially true for single-line tweets. Other than that, great work and thanks for Tweetbot for iPad.
I love the iPad version.
Great work, and totally worth another 3 bucks.
You’re work is appreciated.
A review from the Netherlands!
I love youre app for the Iphone and I have been using it since it came out.
Thanks for the Ipad version!!
Youre explanation on why you made 2 different apps is perfect.
Keep up the good work and dont let the winy people who can’t afford the 3$ bring you down!
Mike
Need Tweetbot for Mac :3
Tweetbot for Mac pleaaasseee
Aparently some people (Mike) confuse whining with a difference of opinion.
how to tweet longer 140? any tweetlonger integrated in TweetBot for iPad? do advise me,
Next Tweetbot for Mac! Please, please!!!
Aparently some people ( Brian ) don’t understand that me finding people whining IS aan opinion. My opinion.
But thanks for the usefull remark.
Well, i think that an option to limit the number of new tweets above the “gap” entry on every list update (e.g. just open the app after some hours) is a real need.
This will be veeeery usefull. I will be able to not have to read, for exmaple, 250 new tweets. I just want to notice the last 50 new tweets. So, when i open the app after a few hours, i will have the “gap” entry and only 50 new tweets.
Besides that improvement, this is THE BEST Twitter app for iPad EVER (the first one able to get me out of TwitRocker LoL).
LOVE the new Tweetbot for iPad, any chance of a Mac app now? :D
Must have Tweetbot for Mac! :)
