Review summary

Reviewers praise Eddy for Twitter as a handy, one-tweet-at-a-time slideshow that lets you monitor Twitter hands-free, even on a TV, with a clean, fast design. The core appeal is that it gives each tweet dedicated screen time, aiding readability. However, complaints focus on the fixed display time being too short for longer tweets and the need for adjustable speed. Compatibility issues with newer iOS/Twitter changes and a lack of ongoing updates are noted. Some feature requests include better link handling and image sizing, but the concept remains strong.

Pros

Shows tweets one at a time, making them easy to digest.
Hands-free reading and use on larger screens (TV/office) helps you monitor your feed without distraction.
Clean, simple design that feels stable and fast.
Gives each tweet the screen time it deserves so you don’t miss content.

Cons

Tweets disappear too quickly; long tweets can’t be read within the shown time.
Lacks speed or duration control to adjust how long each tweet is shown.
Compatibility issues with newer iOS/Twitter changes and defunct login/authentication requiring an update.
Last major update was years ago (2014) and there are concerns about ongoing maintenance.

2020-03-13	Ty*****	This app is pretty handy for keeping any eye on your Twitter feed while you’re focusing on something else. One feature that would make it even better would be a way to slow it down for longer tweets. Sometimes it goes to the next tweet before I can finish reading the current one.

I know I can drag back any tweet to finish reading it, but being able to adjust the standard screen time allotted to each tweet would make things more enjoyable. Thanks for a great app.

2018-08-20	Dr*****	This is the BEST twitter slideshow app in the universe. I scroll it on a 55 inch TV in my office all day. It’s really cool. Now I’m guaranteed to never miss a thing. Other apps don’t come close to Eddy. Does exactly what I want. Gives each Tweet the screen time it deserves while blowing up each and every photos.

2018-05-21	Oj*****	I love this app and have been disappointed it wasn't working in the current iOS. The only problem I have is that with the twitter character limit increased to 288, some tweets can’t be read in the time allowed. Will the developer add speed control?

2017-09-20	tr*****	Love the app but now it won’t work. Please update it so it doesn’t need the now defunct Twitter credentials integration from iOS.

2016-09-08	Ka*****	This is the closest thing to Tweetdeck I've found for the iPhone (thanks to appapp.io). Realtime display of your main Twitter feed or a search. I love how it shows just one tweet at a time. Seems easier to digest the information that way. Excellent for a free app. I use it to check Twitter hands-free while working on my art, cooking or doing dishes.

2016-03-17	Wa*****	This nice looking app allows you to set up your iPad while you work and it automatically scrolls through your Twitter feed and even zooms in on pictures. You can click on links in the tweets. Very usable. Makes Twitter a banner scroll for your interests that you can place anywhere in site and enjoy. I would like ongoing support. Last update in 2014. Hopefully developer will maintain it.
