Tweetie 2 was released yesterday afternoon. This update (sort of) has been anticipated for quite a while now. I had been looking forward to it because I loved the original Tweetie application so much. So when I heard the news I decided to give it a try. There were a few things that caught my eye but a few things that I didn’t like.

The biggest downside of this update is the fact that it’s not actually an update. This is a whole new application that has to be re-purchased even if you had already purchased the original Tweetie app. This seemed a bit ridiculous to me. It would be okay as long as there was a substantial amount of things added/changed in the new version, but there really wasn’t that much different about it. There are a few interface changes and some new features but not enough to make it a whole new app.

The second thing that I didn’t like was the fact that they Atebits decided to take away the multiple themes. They now limit you to the old default theme. I was personally a fan of the chat bubbles theme in the old Tweetie and was very disappointed to see that missing in the new version. Aside from those things, Tweetie 2 has some great new features and still gets a 5/5 star rating from me. Leave a comment and let me know what you think about it.
