Today Tweetbot just stopped working on my iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.3 (12B466). It failed to connect to Twitter and started telling me that I needed to update to version 4. Supposedly (or so it said) I could go into the app store and go to "Updates" and then to "Purchased" to finally click on Tweetbot 3 to upgrade it, but when I do all that the app store just spins and spins, struggling. Grrr. I could just buy version 4 for five dollars, but who cares? I don't see why I can't just use Twitter's mobile-friendly web site at my iPhone instead of Tweetbot. Tweetbot is no TweetDeck after all. (I miss you TweetDeck.) You know, I work with someone who has a Windows Phone and when I've asked him about dealing with the lack of apps for Windows Phone he has just sort of shrugged as though it were not a problem and responded by saying "I just go to the web" or something similar. I'm starting to know how he feels. Who cares about smartphone apps? Open your eyes Tom.
