After a month of waiting on Apple, the first major new update to the
Twitterfall for iPhone application has been released. The new features are outlined on
iTunes, but for reference and in more detail:
You can now search for people directly and follow them. When you open the application, just tap the user icon and type in a username to get a quick drilldown of information about that user. We added this feature because sometimes we find we just want to quickly look up a Twitter username - and then follow them - without have the distraction of anything else.
You can now add a default search term. Simply go into the Settings application on your iPhone, tap on Twitterfall, then type in your default search term. Whenever you load Twitterfall, this will appear by default in the search box when you tap the search button.
You can now turn profile images and retweets on and off. Turning retweets on and off is a popular Twitterfall feature, and turning profile images off makes the view a bit more streamlined.
You can now change the text size. This is useful for seeing more in one screen, or showing tweets to someone else (for example).
You can now set default settings in the Settings application. This is fairly self-explanatory.
We've also altered a few UI features, and fixed some bugs.
We're continually working on and refining the iPhone app, so let us know what you think by providing feedback in iTunes, or on Twitter to the
@twfall account.
