Twitter is one of the most trending social networking sites. With more and more celebs joining Twitter and more and more people following them, the rate at which Twitter is growing is insane
If you’re an active Twitter user, then it’s next to impossible that you do not have a Twitter application installed on your smartphone. When it comes to BlackBerry smartphones, the official Twitter app is preloaded. But does it suffice?
Official BlackBerry Twitter app
Most BlackBerry users already have the official Twitter app installed on their devices. The app sports a clean and sophisticated interface. It has pretty much everything to get you started. Furthermore the latest v3.0.0.20 update brings BBM integration which allows it to automatically update your BBM status with your tweets. The one problem I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t display @Mentions or ReTweets. If you’re looking for a minimal Twitter app, then this one will work just fine for you.
Is there a better Twitter app for BlackBerry devices?
UberSocial: The best BlackBerry Twitter app
Let me tell you that UberSocial is the most popular Twitter app for BB users. Why is UberSocial special?
UberSocial for BlackBerry review
This app is a must have for everyone who loves to tweet their way around. And the best part – it’s free.
UberSocial Features :
My Inner Circle
Wish to view tweets from a specific group of people? Just add them to your Inner Circle and you’ll get a seperate timeline consisting of stuff exclusively related to them.
Uber Channels
This feature provides you with assorted Channels from various media houses like USA Today, Mashable and more. For example : Business and Marketing, Media, Mobile, Tech and Gadgets.
Recommended People
How about famous personalities categorized into different spheres they respectively belong to? Just go to the category you like and find various people related to that field.
For Example: Fashion has Kim Kardashian. Boy, she’s hot (and dumb), isn’t she? (:P)
FaceBook Integration
UberSocial gives you the option to integrate FaceBook as well. That means you can dual post to both FaceBook and Twitter at the same time. Plus your FaceBook feed is also shown within the app.
BlackBerry context menu integration
UberSocial is added to the BlackBerry context menu so you can open the Compose Tweet part directly from anywhere and everywhere.
Mute User/Keywords
There’s an option to mute or ban specific users or keywords you dont wish to see or read about. So no more tweets about the things you dislike.
Themes
This is the part I really like. You can change the look and feel of the app with the help of themes. There are a lot of themes bundled with the app. If you wish to, you can add more.
Other features
- Tweet/Retweet, direct mentions, @Replies, @Mentions, Trending Topics.
- Manage multiple accounts.
- Photo and video support.
- Customized notifications.
- Save tweets as draft in the compose mode.
- Privacy controls – Protected tweet mode.
- Tweets near you.
- Location services including tagging and search.
UberSocial has tons of cool features. It’s a must have if you are a daily twitter user.
