I've noticed two related AndTweet inconsistencies with twitter.com behavior:
1. Retweets made in AndTweet are NOT "Retweets" from twitter.com point of
view. They are just ordinary tweets, containing "RT @use_name...".

2. AndTweet doesn't show in the timeline tweets that are "Real retweets"
from twitter.com point of view (but I can see them in the same timeline
through twitter.com web interface. Such "Real retweets" by people that I
follow are shown (by twitter.com) as tweets of some other people (that I
don't follow) with such comments.

The problem appeared in using "statuses/friends_timeline" API instead of "statuses/home_timeline". From "https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/friends_timeline":
---
This method is deprecated and has been replaced by GET statuses/home_timeline. Please update your applications with the new endpoint.
---
I think "Friends" menu item should be replaced with "Home" also to reflect this change.
