The official Twitter iPad app has finally arrived and it’s not just a blown-up version of the Twitter iPhone app. Twitter promised the iPad app a few months back but it looks like it was worth the wait. Read on for a rundown of all the features…
The Twitter iPad app introduces a brand new user interface that should worry rival apps like Flipboard and Reeder. Clicking a link in a tweet will show the webpage, picture of video in a new pane.
Highlight a tweet in the Twitter iPad app and it’ll stay pinned to the top or bottom of the screen while you scroll through your tweet stream. The Twitter iPad app also uses new multitouch gestures – pinch outwards on a tweet and you’ll more information on the user, swipe down with two fingers and you’ll get the full conversation.
Clicking through to a user profile in the Twitter iPad app also gives you a list of similar users you might want to follow at the bottom of the screen.
The Twitter iPad app also features a logged-out view. If you’re not signed into a Twitter account, you’ll see tweet streams related to popular trending topics.
The official Twitter app is a universal app, so if you’ve already grabbed the Twitter iPhone app, updating it will nab the iPad version too.
The Twitter iPad app is available for free in the iTunes App Store now. Share your reviews in the comments now and let us know what Twitter app you’re rocking on the iPad.
