TweetDeck by Twitter App Reviews

The older version was more functional and I was fine with it. I will be leaving Treeters own applications for something better. Bye bye TweetDeck.

I was enjoying using my version of Tweetdeck 3.8. It was stable, functional, and effective. Now Twitter is blocking it from working--forcing me to upgrade or go elsewhere. Why should I be forced to update to a new version with an average rating of 2 stars? Looks like they are just try to kill Tweetdeck.

I’ve used Tweetdeck for ages without really any issue… however, recently it refuses to work. I’ll restart the app, and it’ll work for a while, and my feeds will update like normal… but then after a while it stops. I have to delete the app and reinstall it to get it working again. No clue what’s up.

With this update, a bunch of bugs have cropped up. The two most annoying: 1) About twice a day it will simply stop showing new Tweets. App must be quit and restarted to refresh feeds 2) Occasionally, the layout of the columns gets munged such that the last few characters on the right side of every line extend beyond the column and can’t be seen. Again, the only fix is to restart.

Along with many others, I completely hate the “X New Tweets” hovering balloon. It adds no value, is very distracting, and simply will NOT go away. One has no control to turn it off. Did I say I hate it? Detest. You’ve got me looking at other apps again, darn your eyes. I don’t have time for this… I used to love TweetDeck, but Twitter is slowly choking the life out of it. This last update is the worst. Fix this, give us some control, or see the back of me.

I like the app it works for me all the time but sometimes the shortcuts don’t work. I would press the “N” key on my keyboard and the new tweet menu wouldn’t appear. I would manually click the “new tweet” button and when it opens, there is the letter “N” from earlier. I love the app but I like being able to use the shortcuts and if they don’t work, then what’s the point?

Lately I’ll get notifications on Tweetbot on my phone for RT’s, mentions, etc…and I go to Tweetdeck on my desktop and realize it hasn’t updated for 24 hours. It’s just sitting there. Just happened now. And I shut it down to re-open and it wont even open now. Something bad happened to it in the last two months.

I mean, Tweetdeck is really nice, except for the part where Twitter is crippling it. Seriously, Twitter, release an iOS Tweetdeck app and use iCloud to sync the timeline progress between devices. Or do the other rational thing and use Tweetmarker like you *used to already do* so that we can sync timeline position. That would make this app 2 stars better on its own. I’d even pay money for that feature.

Even after reinstalling, I launch and just have a never ending spinner :( Really disappointing because otherwise I have always loved TweetDeck.

Right now, my Tweetdeck will not start up. The spinning clock was spinning for an hour. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading, but that didn’t fix it. Version is 3.9.583-a956295 (3.9.583-mac) on an i7 - running 10.9.5 I do like the tweet quoting, but I also like to edit RTs, especially when they are too long and I can selectively chop off a few characters. Also, I sometimes want to get access to the text so I can improve it without retyping the whole thing. Another thing I really don’t like is when I want to RT a tweet that was already RTd, I want to RT my friend, not the original person. Another thing I REALLY don’t like is that I used to be able to build a #FF tweet by clicking another person’s reply icon, but that functionality has gone away. I used to manage programmers, so I understand the always want to make “improvements” - but you guys should know by now not to let programmers mess up great functionality so they can give us something they think is important - and that goes for program managers too - because what they want is not important if it upsets your customers. - I just watched a local company go into complete meltdown because the programmers wouldn’t listen. This is REALLY disappointing. I see by the stars above that you have really upset a lot of us. Please give us back the functionality we use and need - before we go and find or build another app. - and making it actually work again would be a good thing too.

Upgraded to this version on both MacBook Pro and Air, both running Yosimite. Neither will load and run. I’m now forced to use the browser based version. Seems like a publicly traded company with the market value of Twitter would at least test software before releasing it.

This used to be my favorite way to access my accounts, but it has gotten increasingly buggy and erratic. It often fails completely. Sorry to see such a fine product devolve like this.

I get a spinning wheel that indicates the application is loading but 10 minutes in - still nothing. It is strange. Sometimes it will load. Sometimes it will not load. I didnt have this probblem before the recent upgrade.

Love tweetdeck but I’ve been forced to use it on the web because the app never gets past the loading spinner anymore. It’s been like that for about a month now. Figure it out guys!

Tweetdeck has always worked great for me on my desktop. However, over the past couple weeks, it’s become very glitchy. It will stay on the loading screen for five or ten minutes or fifteen minutes. I’ll close it down and start over and it does it again. I usually end up having to un-install and re-install the app in order to get it to get past the loading screen. I open tweetdeck on my work computer five days a week. This glitch usually happens a couple times a week. Tweetdeck still gets three stars because when it works, I love it.

It has now become an unusable app. Takes ages to load…and might not ever load, so you have to reload. When its working, half the time its using 200% of my CPU, grinding down other apps and for some reason making Firefox flip out. Tweets dont post, feeds dont refresh, and the mouse doesnt click where its supposed to. This used to be an essential app, please fix these bugs. running 10.8.5

I have been using tweetdeck for years as of recent the app keeps shutting down is slow and buggy. What happened? I have to find another app now.

What was once the best Twitter app is no longer worthy of downloading. Sad to see Twitter run this app into the ground. Find an old version and hope your OS can handle it.

Whatever happened with this app recently totally killed my enjoyment of it. I echo the user below: I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall this thing at least five times now in less than a week to get it to open properly. Every so often when you try to open it, it’ll get stuck loading and loading and loading and never open. Doesn’t matter how long you wait, or how many times you close out of it and try to re-open it. You’re just stuck in loading hell. You finally just have to uninstall it and re-install it to get it to open -- and really, who has time for that? So wishing I could use Hootsuite on a Mac without a bunch of drama right now, the way Tweet Deck’s gone south.

I have been a user of TweetDeck for many years, and through it’s transitions and LOVE how it works. Two weeks ago, however, it started to fail to launch, and now it refuses to load, and spins and spins. I’ve reset permissions, and even re-installed. I’m running OSX 10.9.5. PLEASE fix this issue. I don’t like having to use TweetDeck through a browser because it slows all my other browser activities down too much. I’m on the hunt for a new app and ready to give TweetDeck the boot.
