Contacted Twitterrific, and they are skeptical about Twitter and 3rd party apps coming back. So at this time, Twitterrific will not work because it needs an update before it will work again.

@ChrisChaffin Yeah, I would be very sceptical as well, feels to me like they really don't know what they want to do.

@ChrisChaffin I hope they can fix it or make it work. Understand their reservation though.

@boogiechild I know that a lot of people would love to see it work again. But just keep in mind. Twitter has proven that they are unpredictable and can not be trusted. They could turn it back on, then a month later turn it back off. So I will remain skeptical, because once I get burned, I stay away from the fire.

@ChrisChaffin @boogiechild I mean why would they even bother when twitter is so unpredictable? it's probably a glitch that the app API is working again anyway!

@ChrisChaffin @boogiechild It’s gone. Good riddance to rubbish.

@ChrisChaffin I don’t blame them for being skeptical and apparently a bit wary. I think they were the first ones to get burned in all this stuff. They were cut off with no explanation, while others were allowed to continue.

@kernsac Plus, that company goes way back with twitter. They even made the original twitter app for iOS, and they were the ones that created the blue bird and the word tweet. So to be treated like that after all they had contributed to helping twitter really burned them to the core.

@ChrisChaffin Yeah, what's the expression? Once bitten, twice shy, or something like that?

@kernsac I do remember that saying. In fact, it was the name of a song that I use to listen to by a band name Great White.

@ChrisChaffin @kernsac I remember that song very well. Reminds me of being at the roller-skating rink as a teenager.

@ChrisChaffin Blah! I wish Twitterific did work again. That was the app I used all the time.

@luvlabguidedogs @ChrisChaffin tell me. wishing twitterific worked. Please? Do y'all want me to get started on Elon musk cologne or is it musk rat?

Steve Mann

@boltonnut @ChrisChaffin That's primarily because the developers cut and ran. Spring still works, and from what I gather, the whole thing about third party apps being disallowed is being retracted. Twitteriffic only doesn't work because the devs ran like rats deserting a sinking ship the very moment things stopped working. That, unfortunately, can't be blamed on Musk.

@ChrisChaffin @maerlynofmiria @boltonnut yep he's the route cause of it.

Steve Mann

@ChrisChaffin @boltonnut the difference is, the spring devs kept it going, even if it stopped working, so yes, Twitteriffic's devs did, in fact, cut and run.

@ChrisChaffin @maerlynofmiria I can too understand where twitterific is coming from but hope they do come back. I like it better than twitter.com on the I O S phone.

@maerlynofmiria @ChrisChaffin I hear you. I wish twitterific was working but at least I have Mastodon and twitter on TW Blue and I know they both work through TW Blue.

Steve Mann
Quiet public

@boltonnut @ChrisChaffin What gets me is that people are claiming that the twitteriffic devs didn't cut and run. sorry, but they did. when you take into account that the Spring developers stayed around, and compare that with how quickly twitteriffic pulled their app, when all that'd be needed now is an update, it's obvious that they did.

Steve Mann
Quiet public

@ChrisChaffin @boltonnut If they didn't cut and run, why, then, did they say, in february, that their app was being removed from the app store? And if they didn't cut and run, why, pray tell, haven't they updated the app so it once more works? Funny how Spring stayed around, and not only that, still works with twitter, whilst twitteriffic hasn't been updated and still won't work and still displays the same blurb that went up in february before they pulled the app.

Steve Mann

@ChrisChaffin @boltonnut And when the ban kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed, it was obvious that the ban wasn't going to happen, even before the latest situation.

Chris C
Public

@maerlynofmiria @boltonnut If you think that apps were not cut off by twitter, then that is just not true. Like I said, Spring is one of the only apps that is currently going. So if you want to think that, go ahead.

boltonnut

@maerlynofmiria @ChrisChaffin exactly. Elon musk cologne rat love/hate messed things up but yeah, Twitterific shouldn't have jumped the gun. Darn. Well, at least we have mastodon and others with T W Blue.

Steve Mann
Public

@boltonnut @ChrisChaffin And I still have my doubts as to whether many people would trust them not to jump ship again if they actually did bring the app back and update it.

@maerlynofmiria @boltonnut @ChrisChaffin I'm with you there about twitterrific. The got scared & ran. They let that thing get to them.

Steve Mann
Quiet public

@boogiechild @boltonnut @ChrisChaffin Yep, like rats deserting a sinking ship.

Steve Mann

@ChrisChaffin It's doubtful they'll ever update twitteriffic, especially seeing how they ran like rats deserting a sinking ship the moment things went wrong. and even if they do update, it's highly doubtful many former subscribers will redownload the app, seeing how they paid money for it and basically got said payments slapped back in their faces a couple months ago.

Chris C

@maerlynofmiria If Twitterrific ever reconnected, I would resubscribe with them in a minute. They did not cause this issue, so I am not going to blame someone for something that they had no control of.

@ChrisChaffin @maerlynofmiria oh heck sou would i. it was my favourite twitter app for the phone.
