John Voorhees<\/a> (Tapbots<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Tapbots, the maker of Tweetbot, has released version 6 of the app<\/a>, introducing a new subscription pricing model along with a handful of timeline and design updates.<\/p>

The subscription costs $0.99 per month or $5.99 annually. Many of the features previously available as part of the paid app, including multiple account support, advanced filtering, and push notifications, are now subscription-only features. Tapbots says that subscribers will also benefit from future updates as Twitter expands its third-party APIs and ensure Tweetbot’s continued development.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

$6\/year seems reasonable, though it’s not clear whether the Mac version will eventually require an additional subscription. It doesn’t replace the old app, so nothing is taken away from those who have already paid for version 5.<\/p>\n\n

Juli Clover<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The update adds support for Twitter’s V2 API, adding interface options for polls and cards for the first time, and it tweaks the timeline view and adds support for more tweet data. There are new “@” and “#” buttons when composing a tweet, plus there are new app icon options and more UI themes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Paul Haddad<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Not sure if its a new App Store rule, or just whichever reviewer we got, but they requested that we remove Tweetbot 5 from sale within 30 days of Tweetbot 6 going live.<\/p>\n

And by request I mean wouldn’t approve until we agreed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

This is weird, though. Tapbots is trying to do the right thing by letting people keep using the old app, but Apple won’t let them fix any bugs that crop up?<\/p>\n\n

The “value” provided by Apple. The new Tweetbot doesn’t show up in the results. I scrolled multiple screens and nowhere to be found.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
