Can't wait to hear from the dev on this. This really stinks, as I love this twitter client, and now cannot use it. (getting a message from twitter that "this application cannot authenticate more users at this time" when after a recent app update it forced me to re-login and now refuses to authenticate me)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drawde40599:
R u serious? I do follow, I do no what's going on, so thanks for nothing, this dev is more worried about his app being pirated and trying to keep that under control than worried about the people that actually paid for his app. So maybe u should follow your own advice and get up to date :D y do u think he keeps doing these updates? Have a great day sir

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Actually he did respond to my email, basically said sorry to bad roll back to previous version, so while this is fine for now any future updates would be impossible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] doogald:
I think that the tokens were used up from multiple account support - people use the app now for more than one twitter account, and each twitter account uses a twitter token.

I suggested to him on twitter this morning that he create a Falcon Premium version for $10 or so, with only that version supporting multiple accounts. Make the people who want more than one account pay a premium for it.

But even if that worked it would just be delaying the inevitable...

Perhaps we should all switch to app.net and leave twitter behind. This is twitter's stupid issue, not the developers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Neejay:
Ah, ok...but you still gotta give him a chance to fix it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drawde40599:
Agreed, but this isn't first time is my issue. He needs realize he can't make anymore money off this app until pirated issues are dealt with, I'd rather him make be enter my Google playstore order # to activate the app or something... I no its not this easy but I'm sure us paying customers would rather go threw Hassel of something like this then have it not work at all
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TJay99:
Strangely, I'm on 2.03 (just purchased it just a few hours short of TWO days ago) and it's working just fine. However... I'm wondering two things. I have really been wanting to change my twitter name (for instance, from [MENTION=757157]this[/MENTION] to [MENTION=933916]that[/MENTION]) and it concerns me that it will fudge everything up. Anyone know? I mean.. I know the token will remain in my account despite the name change, but still.... I could stay on this version forever. It's really an amazing client.

Also: I just changed my Profile Name (not my account name) and it hasn't updated in Falcon Pro at all. Dumped cache (but not data) and still the same. Anyone have an idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] albatros79:
why market links are broken??

it says "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mmegalodon:
If you have your latest token, it shouldn't be a problem to reset app data. Changing your Twitter handle won't mess with your overall account, either. You should be good! :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
You're a tool. If you used some common sense, and checked... Wait for it... TWITTER, you'd see that the dev has been searching for a solution since he discovered the problem. Instead of being a petulant, whiny little girl, maybe you should use the resources available to you to find out more about the situation. Flying off the handle makes you look like a clown.

And btw, Google can't do anything about this. Every developer of third party Twitter clients knows there are prudential token issues on the horizon - issues that stem from Twitter's draconian policies and practices. Likewise, every purchaser of a third party Twitter app should go into it knowing that their app may or may not be there in the future. If you have a problem, complain to Twitter... Google can't control this, and I doubt they'd even give a $h!t about your whining and complaining... They'll tell you to call Twitter. Good luck with life though... You seem to have the type of attitude that will really take you places.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

The dev pulled the app so he can try to work on a solution. If you check the Twitter feed, you can find a link to the previous Falcon release, that *should* work. I haven't had any token issues, so I haven't been forced to test it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TJay99:
You were right on the money. Reset data in Falcon Pro (v2.0.3). Changed twitter handle. Restarted Falcon Pro, signed in anew, no probs and working just fine. Hope the dev is able to resolve this. I'd hate to see anyone lose access to such a great app. Almost regret not climbing onboard the Falcon Pro bandwagon earlier.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BillyD325:
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who happened to do the update before the tokens ran out. I have to agree that this isn't a developer issue. I realize Twitter probably makes some money off ad revenue on its free app, but you'd think that they would be happy to have other apps out there that cause more people to use Twitter more often. I know I use it much more now than before I installed Falcon Pro. Maybe they will realize this and let up on the tokens.

The new version of this app is so much better, and it was pretty damn awesome before. As important as functionality is to me (and it has to be functional and easy to use, and Falcon Pro is both), aesthetics are almost as important for me. The new icon/logo is much better - more streamlined and less "in your face." I hope this token problem gets resolved so everyone can enjoy the new Falcon Pro version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Streaker:
As far as I remember the previous token reset came before the multiaccount option in Falcon ( correct me if I'm wrong). Already back then the dev should have been aware of the limit being a problem for the paying users. Even I knew I should be quick as hell to avoid being locked out. So why adding the multiaccount in the first place when everyone knew limit was near full?

I managed to keep my Falcon for now and that eases my critics. Still I am sceptical to how this has been handled by the dev. I 100% agree Twitters tokenpolicy is madness, but from my view it seems an obvious tokenlimit was ignored.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
100% agree. Falcon is - in form and function - the best Twitter client I've ever used, paid or otherwise. It looks beautiful and runs great. I really hope the token problem can be solved, so everyone can enjoy the app.

I like the idea of having a separate app (whether it's paid or not) that specifically supports multiple accounts. That would create a pool of 200k tokens... 100k for single account users like myself, and 100k for multiple account users. That may solve the problem.

You're correct, the initial token reset came prior to multiple account support. I'm pretty sure the dev was well aware of the town limit as well, which is why he reset them - to protect the app from piracy, while at the same time, freeing up stolen tokens, and giving them to paying users.

He added multiple account support, because it was one of the most widely requested features, so really, the blame is threefold - 1) the dev for being (apparently) unaware that multiple user accounts would bloat the token limit to an unreasonable level, 2) the users who requested this feature, for the same reason I just mentioned, and most importantly 3) Twitter, for having unreasonable policies in regards to third party apps. Very few people actually use the official Twitter app, and they need to realize that... If they keep shutting the door on apps, many people will stop using Twitter all together.

So today I try to log on to twitter and twitter tells me I can't, falcon pro is working perfectly on my phone but not my tablet, what is up with my favorite And paid twitter app??

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Sorry taxation gave me an error about wrong I'd when I tried to edit my old post, but from what I read above is that this is expected behaviour, that I by luck?! Managed to update my client before someone else did? If this is the case I am tempted to call this a fraud and will in that case contact Google about this, I have paid for a product that does not work? Hope i am wrong about this and misunderstanding the thread above!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
You should read more of the conversations above. This isn't fraud at all - this is a token issue, that the developer is trying like mad to fix. If you were knowledgeable about the situation, you wouldn't have leapt to the conclusion you did.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Btw guys, here's the link for v2.02. The dev is suggesting rolling back to that version, for those of you who are having login errors. This link is directly from his Twitter feed.

If, by chance, the dev's Drive account crashes, just quote this post, and I'll upload the file to my Dev-Host account until this situation is resolved.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alamarco:
What's funny is the official Twitter application spawned from a third party client. I don't remember if Twitter actually had an application before this, but Twitter bought Tweetie and made it their own.

At the time, Tweetie was one of the best, if not the best Twitter client. It's sad that years later the official Twitter application still has some of the same designs even though it has been years since they have purchased Tweetie.

You would think that Twitter themselves would be familiar with how popular third party clients have made Twitter. I firmly believe Twitter would not be what it is today if it was not for mobile tweeting. Of course, with mobile tweeting comes third party clients.

I think Twitter is being ignorant of their past and success. They want a stranglehold on the market, but are losing focus on how they got to where they are today.

Personally, I'm a power user. Twitter is huge and I can't manage without my lists. I need to break things down into sections such as sport news, athletes, local news, etc. There are too many users, organizations, etc. to get a proper read on things in one large timeline. The official Twitter application does not embrace lists. Twitter has buried lists deep in the application and once you access them, using them is tedious. Not remember list position is a huge pain. Unfortunately that's only the beginning of how bad the official application is.

I think the users need to create a backlash similar to the Xbox One. Microsoft has just reversed its decisions and that can be pointed to the huge backlash they received on the Internet. I'm not just talking about a petition, but people need to tweet at the official Twitter account. Get things trending and get Twitter themselves to take notice right in their own backyard.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nelsonw:
I agree, and created a petition to Twitter. I dunno if it's the best way, but the one I came up with. Any idea to make twitter hear us is welcome.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thedosbox:
I have to laugh at the clueless folks who're posting in this thread without actually reading it. This is clearly not the dev's fault, but a limitation due to twitters policies.

And to be fair to twitter, it is their sandbox, so they can set whatever rules they want. If so many people weren't so hooked on it, perhaps they'd work a little harder at improving their own apps.

I mean, an average of over three accounts per user? :eek:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Here's another article about the current situation... It basically highlights what I've been saying - this is a Twitter problem, not a developer problem.

http://m.androidcentral.com/broken-falcon-pro-just-start-twitter-pain

My idea for a solution to this issue is a bit unorthodox, and won't immediately help those of you who don't want to learn about development - nor would it save Falcon or refund anyone's money, but it would circumvent these recurring issues...

Open source the app

If I could build Falcon on my own, then technically, I'd have my own, private Twitter client - one that Twitter couldn't mess with.

This solution won't help the developers of currently existing paid apps, but let's be honest - Twitter is crushing third party app developers left and right. Eventually, they're won't be any great Twitter clients left, and we'll be forced to either build our own, or use the official app.

Open sourcing the app would allow us to stay one step ahead of Twitter's BS, and those of us who can build from source can help the community, by letting people use our source-built apps for free. I plan on writing an email to the dev in the morning, and asking this exact question.

My solution may not be the greatest, but I think it's the best option we have. Thoughts?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fat_boy555:
So its theoretically the same client but with token provided by many other ppl just 10 ppl building the app would mean a million tokens and we would have circumvent the problem..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Exactly! If I build and release an open source certain of Falcon, it's technically a separate, private app, with its own 100k token limit.

If enough developers are willing to build an open source client (I think you'll find the would be way more than just 10-15 interested devs), the token limit becomes irrelevant. As big as Twitter is, there's no possible way they could keep up with an open source Twitter project...they'd be forced to give up this nonsense. THAT may be the community's best bet to truly combat this issue.

They could change their TOS again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yomiguy:
Hey very interesting ideas round here!

You should propose them to Joaquin in his Twitter account. I'm sure he must be thinking of any solution to this problem but I'm also sure any good idea will be welcome by him.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
They can change their TOS all they want, but an open source project would always be a step ahead. Twitter only exists because of the ease of mobile tweeting - that means they have to have an API for their app. I believe that they're a privately traded company as well, which means they have shareholders to worry about. If they pull the plug on every third party app, then many people will stop using Twitter. That effects revenue, which decreases the stock value, which angers the stockholders... My point is, they can't go too far with this without destroying their own company, and in the end, profits will be more important than stopping app developers. :)

It's just me or Plume copied Falcon's design?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ock:
I won't mistake one for the other.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TJay99:
Same here. I liked Plume, but I have never found a client -- except for Falcon Pro -- that had these two things:

A conversation view that is directly connected to any particular tweet in said conversation.

A timeline view with inline image previews.

Falcon Pro is flawless in both. Conversation view has always been important to me. For the life of me, I can never figure out why another client hasn't ever replicated it in the way that FP does: clear, tweet-linked, and very easy to get to. FP has a bunch of equally amazing features, but those two are king for me.

If anyone knows another client that has these two features, I'm all ears.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] doogald:
Plume has both of these. For conversations, when you tap a tweet, it has a small control at the bottom that allows you to see the conversation, and you can tap each tweet in the list. It also has inline images, plus, unlike FP, you can follow any link in a tweet, rather than just the first, in the integrated browser. Plume also has configurable columns, so you can add lists or searches, and remembers the position of these lists and searches. It also has Facebook integration, if you want it, and multiple account support, I think with integrated timelines.

There is a lot to like about Plume. Now that I've lost my FP token, I'm back to using Plume now.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ETW11:
I don't know why it is, but if you run Plume and Falcon side by side, you'll notice that Plume actually displays more replies to tweets than Falcon does.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TJay99:
I had used it before, but it's been some time. Fired up Plume again. You're right. It's pretty darn capable and I rather like the UI (and the widget!). I've experimented with Plume's conversation mode and it works fine. However, it doesn't seem to show me the "whole" conversation whereas Falcon Pro does. In the following situation:

- Original Tweet (A)

- Reply by [MENTION=396580]user1[/MENTION] (B)

- Reply by [MENTION=377675]user2[/MENTION] (C)

- Reply by ME. (D)

In Plume, I can only see replies B, C and D if I select the original tweet (A) and then select "Show Replies". In Falcon Pro, however, I can see A, B, C and D

regardless of which tweet/reply I select

and then press "Show Conversation". Am I making sense? I seem to be unable to replicate Falcon Pro's "conversation" mode in any other client. Drives me insane. :)

Still, thanks for the heads-up on Plume. Might just become my go-to if FP goes haywire or becomes non-functional in the future (please, no!).

Hmm, I feel like I remember the conversation option being there before, but I must be mistaken. Not sure your point, as v2.0.2 is still available should your previous token still be present;

Did you log out of your account on your tablet by chance? If you're rooted, you should be able to restore the app + data to your tablet, and log right back in.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BillyD325:
That doesn't even make any sense. Even if Twitter were to follow Falcon Pro's votes in the Play Store, it isn't going to have any affect on them. In fact, it just makes it more likely potential users will overlook Falcon Pro because of its low rating. You can complain to Twitter by contacting Twitter. It's not that hard. All you're doing by downvoting Falcon Pro is hurting Falcon Pro and its developer over a problem they can't control.
