Chirp for Twitter

Full support for Apple Watch Series 7

That means taking full advantage of the massive new display, as well as support for the new keyboard.

(Don't worry, if you have an Apple Watch Series 6 or lower, you'll continue to be able to use FlickType)

Hey everyone!

New FlickType! Compose Tweets with ease with swipe-to-type*!

The button to compose tweets has also been made more clear. On the menu screen, pull down to reveal


*Requires a seperate download of FlickType (Free) on your Apple Watch

Hey all,

Teeny bug fix again. Fixed a bug where selecting a profile would select the one underneath it, or would crash if you picked the first one. Programmers know exactly what kind of bug I'm describing here.

Also updated some translations as a nice bonus :)

If you have any questions, please never hesitate to email me hello@willbish.com!

Teeny bug fix here, accidentally made the iOS app never finished setup (whoops!)

Sorry to anyone confused by this!

If you have any questions, please never hesitate to email me hello@willbish.com!

Hey all!

Just a small update this time around :)

Added:

- 'Other Apps' in the iOS app to help you find my other apps, as well as some third-party apps I recommend.
- Salut! French Localization
- Bon dia! Catalan Localization

Hey everyone!

This update aims to fix a crash when loading your timeline, mentions, etc.

Hey everyone,

I'm so glad you're all liking Chirp 2.0! This update (2.0.1) fixes some problems associated with that big launch, but it also adds some new features, so here's the changelog:

Added:
- 'Search People' option when mentioning someone in a tweet.
- Pink to username colors. Somehow I overlooked this, so now if you want a pink username, Chirp has you covered :)
- Greek localisations

Fixed:
- Sometimes a users verification badge wouldn't show up when viewing a tweet
- Complications would crash Chirp (really sorry about that one)
- In the Japanese localisation, the button to restore purchases was labelled 'Buy.

And finally, if you like Chirp for Twitter, a review on the App Store would help me out tremendously!

Hey everyone! I don’t use the ‘2.0’ version number lightly, and I'm so glad I waited this long to use it! Here is a list of all of the new features you can find in Chirp 2.0! Please note, some features below required watchOS 6.

- The timeline has been completely rewritten for watchOS 6. It’s now truly faster, more efficient, and more reliable than ever. It now has true endless scrolling too!
- Username Colours! Head in to Settings on your iPhone or Apple Watch running watchOS 6 (or later) to change the color of your username! Better yet, everyone else using Chirp will be able to see it too! This feature is $2 (or $1 for Chirp Pro users) – The decision to make it paid was not taken lightly, but ultimately it required a lot of backend work, which I believe justifies the $2 (or $1) upgrade.
- Mentions, Likes, Trending, Hashtags, Lists and Search now all use the more efficient and feature-packed timeline!
- An improved video player! Tired of videos endlessly loading, or just freezing up? I’ve written a completely new video player to be far more robust, reliable, and best of all, fast!
- With username colors, there’s now a ‘Rainbow’ option. But during Pride month (June), this color will be free for everyone.
- Dark mode is now available in the iOS app
- Sign up in seconds! Instead of opening Twitter.com and logging in, if the Twitter app is installed on your iPhone, you can now authenticate with that.
- Faster load times
- Images now show in DMs
- Tweet now also show in DMs
- FlickType has been updated to be way easier to use. No more dots as you type, no more painful corrections, just type as you would on your phone (Check the Apple Watch screenshots for a quick preview)!
- Image grids! Up to four images per tweet can now be previewed on your timeline. Previously it was limited to just one, but now you can see all four in a snazzy grid.
- Want to send a user a direct message directly from their profile? Now you can! Just force touch and hit the message button!
- More messages! Chirp can now load up to three times as many messages as before (from 50 up to 150)!
- You can now delete tweets you’ve authored by force-touching and choosing ‘Delete Tweet’.

The less interesting changes:
- Added a troubleshooting guide to the Chirp setup page on both iOS and watchOS.
- When a user buys Chirp Pro, they’ll now be prompted on their Apple Watch with instructions on how to tweet.
- Added an ‘Acknowledgements’ page to the iOS settings page. Head to Settings > Chirp > Acknowledgements to see it!
- When logging out of Chirp on your iPhone, the currently logged in username will be shown.
- The search page now prompts you to enter a search term if you tap ‘Search People’ or ‘Search Tweets’ before entering one. This was a common point of confusion, so I’m glad I’ve cleared it up.
- Chirp now uses a verified logo in place of a blue username

New languages! I'm so happy to say that Chirp is now available in:
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Danish (Denmark)
- Dutch
- Finnish
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Norwegian Bokmål
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Russian 
- Spanish (Latin America)

It also wouldn’t be an update without some bug fixes!

Fixed:
- If a tweet quoted a tweet which itself was a quote, a large blank space would appear.
- Some images would appear squished or would just otherwise have the incorrect aspect ratio
- Improved reliability of setup.
- Some users may have shown as verified even if they weren’t
- Some typos here and there
- Sometimes ‘Tipping Jar’ price-labels could be truncated, this should be less of an issue now.

Thank you all for your continued support! Don't forget you can always contact me via email or Twitter to let me know what you want to see in the next update!

Ps. Chirp now collects some strictly anonymous user data. I use this data to better prioritise my development time to ensure the features you use most are reliable. You can easily opt out of this in Chirp Settings on your Apple Watch.
