Yeah, I have been using Twitter for a couple weeks now and I'm still confused on how some things work. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it and that's why I want to know which Twitter app is most worth the money.
Mmhm My personal favorite Twitter app is Twitterriffic, and I find Twinkle to be nice as well. Oh, and thanks for following
I'm really thinking about buying Tweetie. Right now, it looks to be the best Twitter app especially for the price.
And as for the original question, Tweetie is by far the best. Twitterific has the better design, in my opinion, but Tweetie has a much more functional feature set. And with the latest update to Tweetie, there is a simple theme that is much better. It goes a long way towards matching even Twitterific in design. With Tweetie, you can have multiple accounts. You can search for any term that you want, and you can view trends that are currently occurring on twitter across the public timeline. You can limit your results to direct messages, and you can even search for tweets that are geographically close to you. Another great feature that I enjoy with Tweetie is that you can view that original tweet that someones @response is a reply to. And when you follow this, you can view the other persons recent messages, their profile, and you can see the people that they follow. You can also manage your account, on a rudimentary level, by following and unfollowing people. It also scrolls like butter. If you are a casual user, or are just dabbling in twitter, youll probably be fine with one of the free alternatives. But if you are serious about twitter, and follow more than a dozen people, you cant go wrong with Tweetie. (I sound like a commercial.)
I just want something that opens to a text box, where I can type in my message, click SEND and be done with it.
Excellent post here. I'd also add it's the quickest Twitter app in all regards of it's functionality. The only issue that I have with it (albeit minor) is that you have to manually refresh the tweets - there is no way to automatically display new tweets as they're sent. In all fairness, I don't think that most of the clients do this (for some reason Twinkle does). I use Tweetie and am very happy with it. Definitely worth the few bucks if you are planning on using Twitter on a regular basis. I'd say you sound more like an evangelist than a commercial CL
Actually, every time that I've used Tweetie so far, it has refreshed my tweets automatically. I think they must have updated it recently?

I use twitteriffic and can't complain, it does what i need and its free i tried twinkle but really didn't get on with it
I use Twitterfon. I was a long-time Twinkle user since iPhone OS 1.1.4, but I got tired of the lack of updates, the unknown-server-errors and the bugs in their functions (block still does not work, you can still get private messages from people, you don't follow, twitter/tapulous-bridge is still unreliable etc. etc.). Since I hate Twitteriffic I took a look on other apps and then found Twitterfon. It's great. It's free. It has a self-filling address book, an interface wich is optimized for few taps and even a location based search and full-text search. The dev brings out updates very fast, responds to EVERY tweet and you have access to their ticket system and roadmaps.
