*its
They don't want to make a decent app. They've bought great apps and shuttered them. They want you to use the web client.

I use the web app version exclusively -- based on that I don't agree.
Both the Twitter and Facebook Android/iOS web applications constantly push you to download the native client. They even get demanding sometimes. They want to be able to send you push notifications.

It's become slightly boorish to correct grammar and spelling. It signals pedantry, and sets a tedious tone for the rest of your comment.

They're not dead, they just can't offer push notifications, or automatically update your timeline when there's a new tweet. Nothing else in Tweetbot will have to change.

So that kills a lot of the point of the app?
Why can't twitter make a decent app on it's own? This shouldn't be complicated...
