Twitter for Android

Looks like Android's "official" Twitter client just got updated. Here's what's new:

  • Timeline now maintains its position when you exit/enter the app.
  • Tapping on a map thumbnail now opens to a full screen map.
  • Fixed crashes when in landscape mode.
  • App refreshes with latest Tweets upon launch.
  • Other various bug fixes.

Good fixes, all. You can update directly in the Android Market, or we have download links after the break.

What they need to fix is the fact that with the last update I only randomly clicked on the search button in the app only to find out that that's where they show Trending Topics. Which annoys me because I'm never really sure how updated that is... becasue I cant manually update the search field

Does it support multiple accounts yet?

ricbon says:

EvanGMan says:

Still no multiple accounts, and still no move to SD. Do they read the comments people leave in the Market...?

As a "normob" and Twitter noob I prefer HTCs Peep.
It's all about widget.

About time. This version works pretty good

silverfang77 says:

A good thing. I've been having trouble with receiving tweets and with the timeline not updating itself. I don't want to have to manually update my timeline all the time.

Anyone else's version crashing? Not rooted incredible. 2.2

npercy says:

Does it always seem that it has to go looking for tweets when you open it. Not a huge issue but its a pain when it does this and I cant see the ones its downloaded already (I like to read while its updating).

Also seems to take forever to "sign in"

So, I know its just semantics, but shouldn't this headline be "Twitter's official Android app updated?"
