About Tinfoil for Twitter

This is a wrapper for the Twitter mobile site (or desktop, if you'd like) and as such, any issues with the site itself can't really be solved by me. This is just a fork of Daniel Velazco's app Tinfoil for Facebook (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danvelazco.fbwrapper) for use with Twitter's mobile site, it allows you to use Twitter in a dedicated app without giving up all of the permissions of the official Twitter app.

This requires the internet permission and course GPS, but the GPS info is only used if you Allow Check-ins in the preferences, which will enable location data to be sent with your tweets. You can find the source code at https://github.com/tuckervento/Tinfoil-Twitter

Very very light and working fine.

It's a great app, a good and lighter alternative to the main Twitter app. Bue I have had this constant problem that I can no longer download pictures from the apo, it just says that the image couldn't be saved. I think it should be fixed as soon as possible. Apart from that it works incredible.

I recently bought a new basic android phone to be used mainly for gaming, unfortunately it didn't have that much of internal mem. Then I found out about this, now I can still tweet without the need to worry about space! Even replaced main twitter app on my main phone because i hated how it ate too much space. I only have one twitter account anyways so, this does the trick☆☆☆☆☆

S70%
by S####:

Wanted a small app with as little permissions as possible. This app does it with only one or two but it forces tweets from paid people / advertisers into your feed. Confused me the first few times and isn't right. I understand an ad but forcing someone's tweet on me seems different.

E70%
by E####:

The performance of mobile twitter has had its share of ups & downs over time, but this app does exactly what it says it does. I've had a very positive experience, and that's likely due to the developer first, and having a great device with a fast connection online. And I think it's a shame that others don't understand the reasons they had any problems. I wants to thank the developer for making this app available for free, with no ads, and for caring about our collective privacy.

Only issue for me is the "download the Android app!" banner on every page - if there's a way to configure the WebView to hide this div, please do so!

I've used Tinfoil for Facebook for a while and was delighted to find I now could replace my annoying official Twitter app also with this excellent lightweight alternative. Only problem is I use two Twitter accounts and the official app lets me switch between them. This app only asks for one account at install. Will multiple accounts be a future possibility?

I'm so frustrated! Half of my posts never actually get posted, they just disappear!

B70%
by B####:

I'm on a 5.7in note 4 and the tweet box you type in is bugged. It cuts off the top half of the letters, and the second line only comes into full view when you get half way across it. I would suggest bringing the whole box down maybe 5% so the top bar doesnt intrude. Also theres an issue with force closing when you tap the app when its been open in the background. To beat it ive to open running apps and go in that way otherwise i just start it again once it closed. Plus i would make the tweet button larger.

by F####:

Random button issues is all I see. Works fine with minor glitches.

S70%
by S####:

Great concept, but tapping links from my newslists, and then returning to app crashes it everytime. Can't browse my newslists anymore with this app. A real bummer.

S70%
by S####:

This app does almost everything I want it to do. I chose it rather than the Twitter app because it requires a lot fewer permissions and respects my privacy. What would make it 5 stars would be the ability to share Tweets with other apps on my phone such as Telegram so I can send links to friends.

O70%
by O####:

This is almost better than twitter. Only problem is when I try to upload photos it force closes. Fix that and I'm definitely uninstalling twitter for this.

S70%
by S####:

This app is almost perfect, it doesn't need many rights and doesn't consume much battery. But recently I can't play videos inside the app anymore.

Article sharing doesn't work and overall lacks functionality. Just a browser extension.

I seldomly use Twitter, and this app is the perfect approach to it. Don't need an app constantly running in the background and spying on me.
