Tweetbot for iOS Updated with Redesigned Image Viewer and New Media Timeline

by

Tweetbot has been updated to version 2.8, notably adding a new media view to the iPhone and iPad apps.

The media view, which can be accessed by scrolling to the top of a timeline and then tapping the square next to the search button, offers up an in-line view of photos and videos that have been tweeted. Tweets themselves serve as captions, offering context to images.

Best Twitter app tbh. None even comes close to the fluidness, UI refinement, and overall quality.
