Being avid Twitter users (@Berryfix, @iRepairsSA and @SmartlabZA) we are always on the lookout for great Mobile Twitter Apps. TweetDeck is great on a PC but we need to be able to handle multiple twitter accounts on the go and that is where Tweetcaster comes in.

The first App we looked at was of course the Mobile TweetDeck App, a great App but TweetCaster came up tops.

TweetCaster’s interface is nicely designed. It’s colorful but clean, with none of the frills or clumsy dialogue balloons found in other Twitter apps. The adverts in the free version are also non obtrusive being stuck at the bottom of the App.

As with most Twitter applications you have your Tweets, your mentions, your messages, your favourites and then finally your lists. It’s easy and intuitive to tap, swipe around and switch between multiple accounts.

The strength of this app is that it adapts to the device you’re using. On a tablet, you get a great landscape view, that allows you to see much more on screen at once, whilst it also looks great on the iPhone and Android phones we have tried it on.

One great feature is ”Zip it” which allows you to mute loud mouths that pop up around football matches and breakups without having to unfollow them. Zip them then unzip them when the storm is over.

When composing a Tweet, you can add your location, record the tweet, manually add an “@” symbol, add a “#” sign and add any media such as pictures and videos. Search is also a pleasure, you can filter search only for images for instance.

The only drawback is that unlike the official Twitter App, direct push notifications are not supported and at times there may be a few minutes delay before you are notified of mentions and messages. Besides that, this is one great App.
