Talon has been around for a while now, and it continues to earn its keep on this list by being a dependable, smartly laid-out Twitter app with just enough customization to let us tweak the app to our likings without letting us get lost in a sea of toggles, list styles and buttons. Dark blue isn't AMOLED black which every other app on this offers, but it's still easy on the eyes and that's enough for users who want the official app and the latest features. With the introduction of a dark theme on the official Twitter app finally rolled out last summer, the official app took its final step towards becoming the daily app for a lot of users who didn't care to be blinded while tweeting in bed. When a feature rolls out, the official Twitter app usually sees it in under 48 hours. Years ago, even a year ago, it was a tough sell to push the official Twitter app over the numerous third-party apps out there that were more flexible, more functional, more fashionable, but times have changed, and so has the official Twitter app.Įach time Twitter unveils a new feature, such as images not counting towards the 140 character limit or quoting tweets, it becomes a waiting game to see which Twitter apps get updated and when.

One more thing: This is the only free Twitter app to make our list, and while you pay for features and customization, it's comforting that the best Twitter app is still the free one. Bottom line: The official app may lack frills and customization, but it gets features first and finally has a night theme. Last year finally brought a dark theme to the official Twitter app and brought in thousands of users who are now using it to Tweet through their nightly insomnia. Twitter's app is also the first to get any new features, from live streaming video like the Presidential Debates and NFL Football.For years, the last holdout for many users to using the official app was its blindingly white theme. The layout isn't customizable and the ads aren't removable (as they are on most third-party clients), but Twitter's app has improved greatly over the last months and now serves quite well as the daily Twitter app of millions, including 80% of our polled readers.Twitter's app is ad-supported but free, and the better this app gets, the harder it is to sell users on paid alternatives. Twitter apps are diverse, and the official app in years past has been considered a bit underwhelming.
There's always been something to be said for first-party apps, but not always for Twitter's.
