If you compare the new Mac Catalyst app to its iPad counterpart, you can see that this is more than a ‘check-the-box’ Catalyst app.
I don’t like using Twitter in a web browser, but I’ve been finding myself using the official iOS and iPadOS apps more and more often for features I can’t get in third-party Twitter apps. That’s exactly the situation I’ve been in. However, if the features available in Twitter’s official iOS and iPadOS clients that aren’t available in third-party clients intrigue you, but the lack of a native Mac app was holding you back, the new Mac Catalyst app is worth a look. If you prefer third-party Twitter clients like Twitterrific or Tweetbot, I don’t expect Twitter’s Mac app to change your mind. After all, this is a port of Twitter’s iPad app. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well the port works on the Mac despite some rough edges.īefore going any further, it’s worth noting that if you don’t like Twitter’s app on the iPhone or iPad, you won’t like it on the Mac either.
