So last week, Twitterrific 2 for the iPhone was released. The Iconfactory guys had lagged a little behind other competitors due to the fact that they launched first, but have definitely managed to catch up and surpass the others in the features department for the most part.

What I think I love the most is the single ‘action button’ that allows for future features to come in pretty easily into future updates. Pressing the one action button allows you to star something, reply to a person, view their profile, and so much more. Additionally, you can customize ‘tap shortcuts’ to quickly do things you do frequently (star an item, view a profile, etc). I hope that future releases allow direct messages to be allowed as a ‘tap shortcut’.
Nothing’s perfect though, but there are only 3 things that jump out as problems to me:

No ‘go to user’ feature. Sometimes I want to quickly bring up a profile that I don’t follow. How would I do that in Twitterrific 2?

No ‘view more’ feature. I’d like to be able to load more than the most recent tweets when I fire up the app.
No landscape mode. You’d think in 2009 that this would be a given.
Overall, it’s a fantastic app and worth every penny of the $2.99 price tag.
