Hello guys! From the creators of Sliding Messaging Pro, I would like to announce one of our new projects: Talon for Twitter!

This one, along with klinkdawg's EvolveSMS are the two brand new apps that we have been creating the past few months. They are full of polish, features, and beautiful design and KitKat style! Both of these apps are availible on the Google Play store today, but lets get to know Talon a little first :)

Talon for Twitter - Google Play Store

-----------------------------------------------------

Play Store Description:

Get fully immersed in your Twitter with this beautiful, feature PACKED Twitter client with a design that actually makes sense!

Created with Android 4.4 (KitKat) in mind. Includes full screen layouts, stunning animations and more! Of course that doesn't mean earlier versions of android get left out! The only thing that wasn't able to be recreated in Android 4.3 and below was the transparent navigation and status bars... Sorry! It just isn't possible :(

Beautiful, up-to-date layouts, designs, and neat animations isn't the only thing Talon has going for it though! The list of features is enormous as well, doing everything you could ever want from a Twitter app right off the bat. Even though it is new, I have added every single major and minor Twitter feature that I think is absolutely essential plus a ton that most people wouldn't even think of. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of its features:

Twitter features:

- Live streaming support

- Support for 2 accounts

- View your timelines (main, mentions, direct messages, links, and pictures)

- View retweets, favorites, Local and world trending, user profiles, Twitter lists, and more

- Favorite users

- Search Twitter

- Delete, favorite, retweet, quote, and reply to statuses

- view replies to statuses

- Update your profile picture, banner, location, and user description

- block, follow, and add users to lists

- search for your friends to tweet at

- Attach pictures to your tweets

- Attach locations to your tweets

- And the list goes on :)

Customization features:

- Extremely powerful developer theme engine (Read the second post :D)

- Choose between either "Talon" or "Hangouts" layouts

- Choose from 3 beautiful base themes (light, dark, and pitch black)

- Custom text sizes

- Night mode

- Auto-Refresh options

- Custom notification settings

- And many other goodies in there as well!

App Features:

- "Talon Pull" to be always listening for interactions (mentions, retweets, favorites, new followers, and direct messages)

- Expandable, actionable, and dynamic notification system

- Full app popup

- Full emoji support

- View in-line Twitter and Instagram pictures

- View in-line YouTube thumbnails

- Native YouTube player

- In-app browser

- Complete landscape and tablet modes

- Advance to new pages in a "windowed" viewing mode

- Never leave your timeline with in-line replies, favorites, and retweets

- Actionable toast bar so you always know where you are and can jump to the top

- Hiding action bar

- "Do not disturb" mode

- Widget for main timeline

- DashClock Extension

- Draft system for unsent/failed tweets

- Google style pull to refresh for quick refreshing

- Save tweet pictures

- Share content with other apps, to and from Talon

You will never go back to your old Twitter client again!

Closing Comments:

I have worked really hard to bring you guys a great experience right from the start this time and it really shows, from the login screen to the timelines, you will be fully satisfied with the design, execution and finesse that Talon brings to your phone. It isn't going to take months to get up to speed like Sliding Messaging did. I have designed this to be efficient, fast, and just work, right from the start. I learned a ton from that app and Talon goes to show just how much.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, sound off in the comments with question, concerns, suggestion, or whatever else you feel like saying about the app!

One more thing to say before I leave you here, please remember that this is XDA, and you are all expected to be a little bit different Android users, if you are having a force close or something, I would like you to be able to post a logcat of it. If you are wondering about why I did something the way I did, then I will probably explain it to you in a programming sense instead of how I would to a normal user on the Google+ beta page or something, because that makes much more sense to me, is easier on me, and you should be able to understand it a little bit better... Just keep that in mind and stay on topic please :D
