Release 1.6 - 5/2/11

- New fragments added to customization screen (My Timeline, Favorites)

- Support for TwitLonger added. It is not enabled by default, there's a preference to enable it.

- bit.ly link shortening support added.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Hey Chris,

thanks for your Hard work. PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS:

let the next update have:

Full Conversation/reply view

Multimedia Upload

If the next update includes those 2 things, be sure to get another donation from me! Consider it kind of a bounty ;)

Its the only thing i need to never use another twitter client again :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] andr0id23:
By the full conversation, do you mean how in twitter I can click on someones tweet and then get a 'in reply to' button to see the whole conversation? I didn't realize how much I would miss that, but I really am! And definitely need the media upload! I like to tweet pics.

But yea, definitely a good start! I like the app a lot and could see myself, with a few additions, using this as my exclusive twitter app on my Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
EXACTLY!

same here :)

Tweetcomb is near perfection :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] andr0id23:
Me and you are on the same page! Now we just gotta work on the dev :p

Lol but na, I'm sure he'll continue to add new features and update the app. As you said, it already is very good, and has the potential to be a perfect tablet twitter client! Again, great job OP. Very nice work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
I'm loving it! But how bout background updates when your not in TweetComb and notifications for mentions and dms? Possible? :)

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I'll add a widget eventually. Currently, I'm still working on core Twitter functionality (lists, conversations, background updates, etc).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thank you! She's here, happy and healthy. Couldn't be happier. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks for your thoughts. I definitely understand where you're coming from and feel the same way in many respects. I'm a solo developer trying to do as much as I can with the constraints I have. So for me it's all about maximizing my available time to deliver the best work I can.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I don't plan to offer a lite version, mostly because it would take time away from working on new functionality for the app. I'd rather spend time adding lists, conversations, etc, than trying to create another version with ads as a demo, if that makes sense. I have a sense of responsibility to those who have supported my efforts by buying my apps, to make them better. Not that I think a demo or ad supported version would be a bad thing, I just think right now it's not the best utilization of my limited time.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
In it's current form, it would take a bit of rework to make that dynamic. It's something I'll look at in the future, but it's more of a long term item in my mind.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thank you, and they're coming. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Definitely high on my list.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
Thankyou for all the work put into this:)

[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
+1 :-) yeay
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tumbes20000:
Really enjoying the app and the rate at which you are making it better. Definitely willing (and have) pay for that kind of developer support
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mattyboy247:
I really want to purchase this app... but as far as I know... reply all isn't included. As simple as that is, its a deal breaker for me. I have wayyy to many conversations with multiple people. Add reply all and you have my 3 dollars. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
yep, its the core funktion that are dealbreakers....

didnt even try reply all....

+1
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Hadn't even considered that one. I'll add it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mattyboy247:
Awesome... when do you think it will be added? Might have to go buy it now... :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I tend to stay away from estimating anything because my time is all over the place. It shouldn't be a terribly difficult thing to do, so I wouldn't expect it to take very long. Vague enough? :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mattyboy247:
Then lets say that I will be thinking about buying it and hopefully soon I can figure it out... :p
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Works for me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mattyboy247:
Bought it anyway. Thanks for taking the risk of being the first dev to put out a honeycomb twitter client.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Appreciate the support. It's been a fun experience, as has Newsr, for sure.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Live2Follow:
Have you considered facebook? I would like a tablet experience there as well!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
Just a heads up -- When you are on the Browser, and share a link via TweetComb, it launches tweetcomb but nothing came up.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] pernellparents:
I think another small key feature is auto-refresh after you tweet. So after you tweet you don't have to manually press the refresh button. Also, you should add an option to show a"your tweets retweeted" as a fragment because I often check sometimes who retweets me or something like that

*edit* also a way to view someones twitcon when you press on it, because when someone follows me and I want to see their pic to see if I know them I have to use plume to do so
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb 1.7 is now available! It includes:

Release 1.7 - 5/4/11

- Added conversation view.

- Removed long press support for statuses (use the icon on each tweet).

- Added support for XAuth with Twitter.

- Improved multiple account support.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Thank you a lot Chris! Conversation view! FInally!

Now not much left to perfection:

media upload

reply all

Option for showing also my own DM's

Ill paypal u a beer! Youve been working so harD!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
Awesome! Thanks dude! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
Isn't there any other way to buy the app? I'm outside of the US on a WIFI Xoom and it simply wont let me buy it. I was able to buy Newsr, but with this it won't even let me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
The Android Market works in mysterious ways... for sure. It is available on the Amazon Appstore, but it's quite a bit out of date because of their approval process. I iterate so fast early on that each update simply gets 3-4 versions out of date before it's approved. Certainly that will become caught up as revisions slow down, once it's mostly feature complete, but right now it's an issue because there's so much work to be done.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
Isn't there a way you can make it available to international users?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb is available to international users. I enabled it for everyone the Android Market will let me, as I did with Newsr. It's likely the market is giving you issues for some reason, which I've seen a number of times for other folks unfortunately. I would recommend emailing the support email from the market site.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Maybe consider joining the androidpit appcenter /market
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
keeps getting better.

How do I use conversation view, not seeing it?

Is there a way to remove favorites?

How about an option to open links directly in a browser instead of the mini browser built into the client?

How about remembering where you are in the timeline?

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Longpress on a tweet or use the little triangle and clck on "conversation"
[Xoom Themes and Apps] matrix2004:
Spamming? Really? Look, i like TweetComb. I'm just saying Issimo is better. I'm sure with more improvements, TweetComb will be just as good. Best thing i like about Issimo are the pop-up notifications.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
As i said, if you state something like that you could at least provide a link to the app. Also, just pop-up notifications wont instantly make another app better ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cranch:
I havent had a chance to read the whole thread yet but is anyone else having issues using the app while the tablet is inverted? I use it on a stand while its charging at the office and it fails to rotate with the screen. I'll keep monkeying to make sure its not my setup.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
It's not your setup, I just haven't enabled it for portrait view yet. Need to do some detailed testing for that.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] matrix2004:
Its not in the market yet but will be soon. You have to be a VIP member of the developer's website www.themobizone.com to download the app. Here's a screenshot.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb 1.8 is now available! It includes:

Release 1.8 - 5/6/11

- List support (Implemented much like Search was. Available as options for the customized Dashboard.)

- Added better support for logging exceptions.

- Removed the Internet check for startup, as it was causing issues for users that were using the app while tethering.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] uDESIGNme:
Great work as usual Chris. Bought this app on a whim when I got bored of TweetDeck and have loved it ever since.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
after changing the build.prop i was finally able to buy this app. GReat stuff. is there any way we can get background update/notifications?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
Review on Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/app-review-tweetcomb-for-honeycomb-tablets/

Getting great exposure, but yes we need background update/notifications.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I've been working on performance improvements, background updates, and notifications. This release is a much bigger shift than normal, so it's taking a few days of development and testing to make sure it's all put together correctly. There will be a release in the coming days with these.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
Nice to see engadget mention it but they made it sound like this just came out lol. Guess no one reads their xda.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb 1.9 is now available! It includes:

Release 1.9 - 5/11/11

- Added message about time zone if user/password fails.

- Removed background sound on new tweets.

- Background service for storing statuses locally (Timeline, Mentions, Direct Messages).

- Notifications (Timeline, Mentions, Direct Messages).

- Store last viewed status ID, so you can start at that position on the next use (Timeline, Mentions, Direct Messages).

- Added a refresh button to Direct Messages.

- BUG: List moves up even thought you aren’t at the top of the list, on updates.

- BUG: Search name is covering up trash can icon.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
another thanks for your great work :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb 1.10 is now available! It includes:

Release 1.10 - 5/13/11

- Added an option to disable internal browser.

- BUG: Notification flag for Timeline wasn’t always working.

- BUG: Fixed RT status for Profile Timeline.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] supr2nr:
I love this program. But it still really needs a widget. *hint* *hint* ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Zalyia38:
I really really like this app, great work.

I'm not able to share to this app via Pulse though. And portrait mode would be nice if/when needed.

But, like I said...I love it!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gerbick:
As of the last update, I've noticed that TweetComb is set to run at boot. Fine by me.

But it's reporting my mentions doubly on boot. I'll have to screenshot in a bit to prove my case.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's because I had unread direct messages. On the subject of direct messages, stupid question. When I reply to a DM, it defaults to @username instead of d username - this made a private convo almost go public.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I bought it and I love what you're doing.. But i must concur...Widgets are a WANT and not really a need for it..They ARE nice...But we need to worry about key functionality first.

My main thing is 3 issues.

1.App randomly just stops updating often. Main timeline works..But mentions and DM not.

2. Click on Defaults to enlarge them. SOmetimes I need to look at tits or see if I know the person before i respond. (Just being honest)

3. See if the person is following you...As of now i can only see that I follow them.

Besides those 3 u gotta winner..but it looks like Plume and Seesmic are going to creep up with optimization-ready apps.

I must concur..While I bought the app and have it installed I have gone to Plume as they had all this ready and it actually works great on HC..But I love Chris's work. So I'm going to wait on a uninstall.

Just my take. Have a great day guys.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Elvis is right (though i wonder hes still alive :D)

Also needed:

- multimedia upload

- see my own sent DM's

- option for always auto-scroll to the top latest tweet of my timeline!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] trillbo:
Nice app, it's great to see it improving with every update.

Is there a way to have more then 3 lists? If not can you pleeeeeeease make it so.

I have about 8 lists I use, as trying to follow everything in one timeline sucks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
I've LOVE the app so far, especially the background updates made it awsome.

Can we have a (resizeable) Widget so I can completely uninstall the offcial twitter app?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb 1.11 is now available! It includes:

Release 1.11 - 5/17/11

- "Reply all" supported during a reply.

- Added a preference for adjusting text size of statuses.

- Added a preference for time display (i.e., "1 hour ago").

- A default profile picture is used to help with issues during image reloads.

- BUG: Replying to a DM was broken from a previous update, it was sending a normal reply instead of a DM reply. Now fixed.

- BUG: Shows "10000" as "10,000" as followers/following on profile.

- BUG: Website link on profile page is now clickable.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
good work chris, and thanks you for the update
[Xoom Themes and Apps] johnjohn25:
I love the app however im always getting notifications for new mentions or DM's when I had already seen those. I keep getting the same notifications over and over again. I have set the app to update every 2 hours and no "in app" updates and still somehow manage to get tweetcomb updates every 15 minutes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Can you confirm you're on 1.10 or 1.11? I had an issue with the preference values when I first released the background updates/notifications, but it should be working as expected in the newer versions.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] uDESIGNme:
Any chance of an update to fix the recent DM Twitter API change :-)?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Recent, as in the post from about an hour ago?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Chris...i always get a notification for new DM's but all TC shows is just old DM's, reloaded....is that a bug or am i too dumb?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
No no, it's a bug, high on the list. Just leave it there as a notification and it won't pop up again. I'll have it fixed and released very soon (hopefully tonight).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
by no means to put preasure on u :)

you work hard and i really appreciate having TC
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Not at all, I like to make it better daily. I use it too, so I feel the pain points and downfalls. That notification is annoying me too. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Haha :) have a beer on my caps :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] uDESIGNme:
App wasn't loading new DM's for me around the time the post was made, think it was just bad timing; seems fine now!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] johnjohn25:
I am running 1.1. I just checked my tweets and closed the app and a minute later got an notification about new tweets. Again I have "in app" updates set to not occur. I'm getting notifications when I shouldnt be.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
Same issue here.

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
So, in-app updates and background updates/notifications are different things in TweetComb. An in-app update is running in the background while the app is running on your device. This is meant to happen more often (30-60 seconds) because you're actively in the app looking at tweets. These updates do not cause notifications to pop up.

Notifications are spawned from the background update service and this happens on a longer interval (15-30 minutes). The exception is that when the background service starts up, it starts for the first time 60 seconds after it was asked to. After that first run, it will run based on the minute selection from the preferences panel. These background updates/notifications happen whether the app is running or not. The goal being to load up fresh data every so often, so when you open up TweetComb you've already got most of your unread tweets waiting for you with no need to hit the network right away.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aberrix:
I bought tweetcomb yesterday as it seems to be the most popular twitter app for honeycomb. However, later in the day I tried Plume... I was much more impressed by the layout, functionality and speed of Plume vs. tweetcomb. I instantly regretted buying tweetcomb... It's not necessarily a night/day difference but plume definitely has an edge.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
What Plume really has going for it, is that it's been around for quite awhile. It does have all of the features, and an opportunity to optimize performance, as it's been worked on over a long period of time. TweetComb didn't exist, in any form, as little as 6 weeks ago.

I'm definitely playing catch up to every Twitter client when it comes to features, and like to think I'm doing well considering I'm not a funded company like TweetDeck or Seesmic, that I do this as an individual in my spare time after a full time job, full time family, etc. Not to make any excuses, because at the end of the day it's one Twitter client versus another regardless of circumstances, but I hope you can appreciate how far TweetComb has come from 6 weeks ago when I wrote the first line of code to today.

TweetComb will continue to get better and better and eventually it will be just as feature rich, and as optimized as any other, that's a promise. :)

Edit: Oh, and I'm happy to offer you a refund if you'd like one. I want everyone who purchased TweetComb to be happy they did. Email me (cstewart913@gmail.com). :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
I disagree, I think TweetComb is a great twitter application, even though I do use Plume on my Evo, I continue to use TweetComb on my Xoom. You have to understand that TweetComb is still in beginning stages of development and Chris is updating this app almost weekly, taking ideas and implementing them as best as possible. You can't expect an app to just be 100% from day 1. It was iffy when I bought it as well, but I continued to support it, and now after constant updates, It is my daily twitter application.

"Don't like it, don't use it..."
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aberrix:
Chris, I appreciate the quick response and the refund... I'll likely try tweetcomb again, however any plans for a "lite/free/trial" version so I dont end up in the same spot next time?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
No plans, as I look at that as being definitive, but I've always thought about other ways to distribute my apps. Only time will tell I suppose. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] streetmapp:
What if you looked into working out a way similar to that as "Thumb Keyboard" (also found here on XDA). The dev has made the beta freely available, and once he's ready to release the full version, the beta ends.

Not sure how involved that would be to implement, but it works. I know once it goes live, that I'll be buying.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
TweetComb is now a FREE app on the Android Market! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chriswstewart.twitter

To my existing customers, thank you very much for your support and feedback. I'm happy to offer you a refund, just send me an email (cstewart913@gmail.com).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MRCANNADY:
Chris, I wouldn't dare request a refund, and neither should anyone here!! You gave us a great app, and listened to our feedback. I will continue to support you n your work. Thank you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gerbick:
Dare I say... keep the money and keep improving on it as you have been doing so for the last few weeks.

If anything, as an indie developer myself, that's my very small way of saying thanks. It's the only Twitter app that I have installed on my Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
yeah, thanks for the work. I bounce back and forth between this and another twitter app. Buy yourself a beer with my 3 bucks or whatever it was :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Release 1.12 - 5/22/11

- Let user do landscape with either side being "up".

- Option on profile tab to see if a user is following you.

- Link, hashtag, and profiles have a background color when selected.

- BUG: On Reply, exclude your screen name if present.

- BUG: When profile images are slow to load, you could see the wrong image. A default image is used while the new image loads in the background.

- BUG: A DM notification would pop up every time a mention notification did, this is fixed.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:

This is great! Congrats! Liked and following :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Version 1.13 of TweetComb has been published to the Android Market. It includes:

-- Revert back to OAuth for Twitter auth.

-- Use rounded corner images from Friend Me, in TweetComb.

-- Fixed the built-in web view from a scrolling issue.

-- Catch rate exceeded message from Twitter and handle gracefully.

-- Shows a dialog if TweetComb is opened and no network is found.

-- Will let you continue if you want, or close the app without causing a force close.

-- The tweet options button has a larger hit radius.

-- On the favorites fragment (general and profile), provide an option to remove favorite.

The major point of this release is to adjust for the new authentication required to access direct message from Twitter after June 30th. What TweetComb does to accommodate this is to clean out it's database when you load up this version of the app. It will clear out the saved account with TweetComb and ask you to re-authenticate. Unfortunately, because of the way Twitter handled this transition, that's the only way to do it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
Tweetcaster is nice but I prefer tweetcomb.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Itaintrite:
Refreshed my timeline this morning and it's been FC ever since. Maybe can't deal with embedded video or something? Bleh.

And Tweetcaster HD is still a beta app. No option to disable auto-loading of embedded photo/video (which are constantly buffering...), no showing username only. Bleh.

Guess I'll stick to my phone for now.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alexk1781:
For some reason I can't add a second account. I go to switch account, hit new account, and nothing happens. I've even rebooted. Ideas?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
When I implemented the new Twitter auth in the latest version, I think I broke multiple account support. I'll have it fixed soon.
