Main features:

Left side-menu:

The menu situated on the left side, which can be produced by swiping to the right, provides the user with a multitude of functions. Not only can you access your home timeline, favorites, mentions and nearby tweets, but you also get an overview over your lists and current trending topics.

__________________________________________________


Preferences

At the top left of the left side menu is a preferences icon, which allows you to adjust settings like the font size, your mute filters, the current language and the current theme.

__________________________________________________


Accounts

LastOwl lets you add and manage multiple accounts and makes transitions between them exceptionally easy. The accounts are also situated in the left side menu and are presented by a swipable account scroller. Changing an account is as easy as swiping to the preferred one.
The plus button right above the scroller lets you add additional accounts.

__________________________________________________


Lists

Lists can be created, edited and viewed right from the left menu panel. Swipe on the list in question to remove/edit it, click the plus in the lists header to add one.

__________________________________________________


Tweeting

In order to compose a Tweet, tap on the top right icon in your Main Timeline. The prompted window will let you choose images from your library or take one if you choose to do so.
You can also specify which one of your accounts you want to tweet from, so that you do not have to switch your account prior to publishing your Tweet.

__________________________________________________


Interacting with Tweets

Interaction with Tweets is quite easy as well. Just tap & HOLD a Tweet for about a second and keep your finger down (!) to reveal the quick menu, which lets you retweet/reply/quote the tweet, or follow/unfollow/mute the user who composed the Tweet.

__________________________________________________


Profile

Your profile consists of three stacked cubes which are all rotatable. When the top cube is rotated to the left and let go, you can follow the profile's user. If you rotate it to the right, you can message the owner of the profile. The middle cube lets you edit your profile (rotation to the left) or manage your accounts (rotation to the right). The bottom cube has to be rotated at the edges. It is rotatable 360 degrees and has 4 states:

1) Profile Info (0 degrees rotation - original state)
2) the user's feed (90 degree rotation)
3) The user's followers (180 degree rotation)
4) The users friends (270 degree rotation)

__________________________________________________


Direct Messaging

Messages can be sent and received. You can either go to the potential recipient's profile and swipe the top cube to the right, or use the button in the top left corner of the messages view.

__________________________________________________


Search

The search view will let you search Twitter and explore current trending categories (and their users). You can search the social network's tweets by term, search users by name or open a profile with a known Twitter handle (@name).

Push Notifications

We currently do not support Push Notifications due to limitations by Twitter. The necessary technical requirements are in place and working, but we need to get permission by Twitter to enable this feature. We are vehemently trying to get hold of this right.

Reviews

Great
Infinity3

Its a very nice twitter app with a beautiful UI. It is a little difficult to gets used to at first but once you know what you're doing, its flawless. I think once it gets a push notifications update it will make this app better than almost all twitter clients.


Beautiful
JoBraves09

Love this app. It's nearly perfect. It's beautiful. I wish it picked up from the last tweet I read. When you refresh it goes to the absolute newest tweet and you have to scroll down. Otherwise it's gorgeous. Love it.


I wanted to like it.

There's some interesting things here but it's just too busy and cumbersome. UX needs to be simplified and refined. I regret paying for this.


Promising twitter client.
Swerky8

Still a few bugs need fixing. But apart of that a larger account pic in timeline as well as pic thumbnails in tweets are a welcome addition. Twitlonger or any above 140 characters tweets support is a good bonus.


Great UI -- but battery issue
rider jones

I love this app -- it's a beautiful twitter client. But I quickly noticed my battery life was significantly reduced after downloading and using it. After deleting it, the battery performance returned to normal.


UI looks great but too slow to refresh
likounin

The UI looks great and that's why I purchase. But it is too slow to load old tweets... What's more, it's also difficult to load my profile background, and the avatars of my friends sometimes may in a mass. Then it often crashes... It does not worth that money.


Uhh, no..
thegriffindude

For some reason nothing ever loaded.. I could only access menus, timeline profile messages and the rest never loaded. If you have this problem go ahead and get a refund. I'm sure this app is amazing, just not for my phone apparently..


LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS APP!!!!
EchoSilent

I am using this app because it has awesome graphics and is an original interface. It needs push notifications and a Retweet with comment feature. It would be great to configure more tweets in the screen. Other than that.... This app is so awesome!

Is to buggy ! Fix up


Good idea, very poor execution
tennockey

Needs push notifications and ability to use basic functions without an in-app purchase. No thanks.
