Twitter promises that this latest version should be much faster. The company says they’re trying a new way of drawing timelines that should make scrolling smoother.
The company previously worked with the Android team at Google to ship the original version of the app. It was good, but not as good as Twitter for iPhone. Now they’ve taken the thing entirely in-house we’ve confirmed. And yes, it’s substantially better.
Of course, it’s still not quite iPhone-good. Pull-to-Refresh, for example, fails to bounce as you might expect on the iPhone. And Swipe-to-Reveal feels a little stale. But that’s most likely a lack of Android polish, not Twitter polish.
