Icon Factory released their, much anticipated, update to Twitterific. It’s fifth major release, the whole app was redesigned from the ground up. It’s fast, it’s beautiful and simply powerful.

No notifications (which isn’t a bad thing, really, considering the amount of apps that send me notifications) and no ability to mute hashtags or users (which just means I shouldn’t be following them in the first place). But the Twitterific sets the bar pretty damn high for all apps – not just Twitter apps. And no wonder, Icon Factory set the bar for Twitter clients when it first released Twitterific in 2008 after Apple first created the App Store.

Between Letterpress and Twitterific, I’m excited to see how the iOS ecosystem reacts to catch up.
