It also includes gesture-based navigation, quirky extras, and a unique UI that makes exploring timelines, mentions, and messages more enjoyable than traditional clients.

## Review summary

User reviews cluster around authentication problems (login failures, token expiry, Safari redirects) and external API changes by Twitter that render the app unusable. Rate limiting and performance issues are also common, with reports of battery drain after updates. A few positives persist: long location/bio support and a sleek UI, and the app was at times regarded as one of the best Twitter clients. Overall, ongoing login/API issues drive disappointment about the app’s viability.

### Pros

- Long location/bio support
- Sleek, beautiful UI
- Clean and helpful for using stand-alone Twitter features (stantwt)
- Was a favorite / regarded as one of the best Twitter clients

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication problems (token expiry, Safari redirects)
- App stopped working due to Twitter API changes
- Rate limiting / rate limit exceeded issues
- Battery drain/heating after updates
