Birdsong has been my favorite but I have been using Breezz too becaues I need the push, this might sound stupid but I use the brezz for the push but use birdsong, I thought they were coming out with a push update but its been to long I think I'm going to try Rowi, I hope its good on the eyes like Birdsong, it is very easy to read without having to put my glasses on LOL brezz I need my glasses eveytime ..

I've been using MoTweets Paid version(ad free it runs very slick) for about 6 weeks and was very happy lots of features, various themes and font sizes, translation, picture wall, ect.
any way today live tile stopped working even won't work after factory reset apart from that very good.

Yeah, mine work. Did you uninstall the free version first. When I first opened Rowi, it asked did I want to enable Push notifications. Once you have that set up, you can go in and change whether you want tile and toast on DMs and Mentions.

I uninstalled the free one after I installed the paided one, I thought that was the problem so I uninstaled the paid one and reinstalled with no luck still

I don't use twitter but now I'm curious about what brainimpact had to say. Brainimpact- do you know if you were approaching the 15 tile limit?

A friend on twitter says the live tile as stopped working for him too on same day mine broke, maybe its a problem with moTweets, need to try confirm it with any others who use the app.
All I remember doing differently the day it broke was switch WIFI off for an hour, when i switched it back to on tile never worked again, but I don't think its related to WIFI Toggling on/off b/c like I said earlier a Factory reset did not fix it.

Wow I had a big writeup on the various twitter Apps then board express crashed when I hit submit. Bottom line Birdsong is my 1st choice with moTweets,Twitter,Rowi,seesmic and beez

I like beez, if only because of the live tile. Are there any other free twitter apps with live tiles?

Rowi does a pretty good job of it. Seems to be a few bugs that are getting ironed out quickly by a very attentive/responsive developer.

I just sent feedback re: a dm notification on my live tile that won't go away. It being easter sunday, I don't expect a response today, but I bet tomorrow I'll hear something.



*edit* you'd said "free"..I don't know if the lite version had the notifications. For what they cost I don't mind trying the full versions of apps.

Not free, but both Rowi and moTweets have live tiles bit only for mentions or DM's I believe. Beeze is the only app that shows tweets, but it is painfully slow to open and close, so I had to move on.

Rowi's notifications stopped working for about a day, and just started working again. What's so hard about push for Wp7 that no one can get it right.

Well I had alot of problems with push on several iOS apps. Personally I think devs nickel and dime the push servers so with the increase in users causes them to flake out.

i have BirdSong, moTweets Pro & TwittWP (recently d/led this) and i prefer BirdSong. the official twitter app is nice as well. i don't use it because i paid for the other apps and would rather use them because of that.

Yea, after installing the Rowi app my live tiles stopped working and I thought it was only Rowi, I since uninstalled Rowi and now my live tiles started working again, I paid for Rowi but I'm going to hold out for Birdsong.
