Should I buy Tweetings?

iOS and iPadOS

Hello,

I’ve heard a lot about tweetings.

Ideally, I want something that works on my phone, watch, and iPad. Tweetings has not been updated in awhile.The last update to the iOS app was 6 months ago.

I’ve also noticed that the App Store reviews for it aren’t that great either.
Does anyone on here use it?
If so, what is your experience?

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
For those who are curious, the app is a one time purchase of $1.99.

It's accessible and the developer has previously demonstrated a commitment to VoiceOver support.

However, the VoiceOver experience isn't as satisfying or as extensive as it is with Twitterrific. I would even go as far as saying that the native Twitter app provides a more satisfying experience when used with VoiceOver. Tweetings needs more swipes and taps to navigate and do things.

For me the last update was only 5 months ago, but there's no escaping that in terms of features and usability the app does feel a little dated and hard to recommend.

Hi,
I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and android tablet. The app is available on all of these platforms, plus supports timeline sink.
This is why I was thinking of getting it.

I read Twitter quite frequently, and having my timeline synchronized across devices would be really cool.

I tweeted the developer the other day, and they responded, and said that the app will still be maintained.

Perhaps, I will wait until iOS 15 comes out, and see if the app gets updated. If it does, I will purchase it then.
The Mac app has not been updated in seven years, so that’s quite disconcerting.
