TweetDeck Review : For über Users Only!

8. TweetDeck crashes on me all the time. Mainly when I want to add a user to a group. I'm sure it is a bug, but it is uber annoying.

9. In TweetDeck once you write a post you are committed. You can't cancel and come back to a half written one like on TwitterFon. This is a frustrating if you want to quickly check what someone has written before you respond.

10. @ anyone! TwitterFon makes sending message @ someone a simple as pie. They have a directory of people you follow in every new tweet, making it easy for you to just find that persons name a tweet them. No such luck on TweetDeck, you have to be some kind memory man. Bet loads of tweets have gone lost by misspelling.

11. Quick delete a half written tweet. TwitterFon has the trash icon and a simple touch allows you to start again. TweekDeck forces you to use the back button, so time consuming!

12. Want a free app without adverts. TweetDeck is the app for you. I'm almost sure if they put ads in on TweetDeck I'd even pay a small amount not to see them.

Edit: 13. TweetDeck doesn't allow you to click search hash tags?! You tweeters will know how important this is.

After two weeks of playing around with TweekDeck, I must say that it is impressive and has a tonne of new features that others clearly don't have. However it is not the clear cut winner in the mobile twitter apps market. TwitterFon can still hold its own in for its shear simplicity of design and a couple of important features such as 9, 10 and 11. My verdict if you have mulitple personalities and are a die hard tweeter and haven't tried TweetDeck out then make sure you do! but If you only manage one account and arecasually following the few then I'd stick to TwitterFon.
