    Hello all.

    I want to buy a Twitter app, but dont know which one.

    All I want to do is basically get Tweets pushed through like a text message.

    Tweets
    Direct Messages
    Replies

    but they all need to push through to my phone so I dont have to keep checking the twitter app.

    I dont want to use Growl

    Thanks

    Top three I'd say in no paticular order are
    SimplyTweet $5 has demo push notifications for dm and messages. (oops guess this is what you want out of all of them)

    Tweetie 2 $3
    Twitterrific $4 has free demo with ads

    SimplyTweet and Tweetie 2 are my apps, keep switching between them. Although I just recently went back to SimplyTweet, Tweetie was amazingly fast, but a tiny bit buggy when leaving and re-entering the app.

    The ST dev is amazingly responsive to questions and enhancement suggestions.

    I personally like TwitBird Pro, but I guess that is because I got it when it was free :)

    Do any of those push Tweets to the iPhone homescreen like text messages or does it only push DM and Messages?

    I recommend Twitterlator Pro. Very active devs, lots of big updates, chock full of features.

    It might be overkill for you though.

    I just what a Twitter app that pushes TWEETS to the iPhone homepage. So THe phone makes a noise and I look and it says :

    stephenfry: Found a Canon somewhere that's working fine. Jumped up and down on the Kodak which gave me great satisfaction.

    etc.

    I want push Tweets like an SMS would work

    WHat you want is echofon pro. It has a nice simple format and pushes @'s and DM's.

    there is a free version you can check out but it will not push notifications.
