Doesn't show any tweets

Laurence Cope on

United Kingdom

I bought this to show tweets near but but it shows No Results all the time. No matter what I search. All the other results seem to be directory listings. Can't see any local social posts.

Was once very good but seems to be neglected

Newbie 70 on

United Kingdom

I've previously rated this app at 5* but it seems to be drawing data from less sources. For example I now get "failed" instead of feeds from YouTube and Instagram. Shame as this was a firm favourite of mine.

The pulling together of disparate data sources generally works well. The Google results can be skewed by Googles _own_ attempts at “being helpful’ but this is being worked on by the developers. The data sources are varied and can be sorted to allow you to choose the priorities of the sources displayed. Whilst the resulst can sometimes be a little at variance with the reality on the ground, this is a nice app that’s being actively developed & maintained. Well worth the small “price of admission”.

Tired old app

Was such a great app but lack of recent updates, failing Wikipedia and p*** poor google results its a goner. Shame.

Gone downhill

Used to be much better and easier to use. Changes have made it much worse!! Not happy!!

I'm enjoying this

William Gallagher on

United Kingdom

I like the new look and version, especially how I can winnow out results sources that don't seem to work for me. There is a display issue that means a line like "100 yards" is shown as "100 vd" - note, vd not yd which confused me for a moment. It's a tiny, tiny thing and you know it's only that the descender on the y is being hidden somehow. It's the kind of teeny detail you wouldn't mention in a review, you'd just email the makers. Except that I just tried that and their email form refuses to accept that I've entered their validation code correctly.

What happens when u fix something that ain't broke

What a stupid update. Was perfect before this. Shame I only discovered this a few days ago and was loving it till the update came along. Ah well deleting it now. Just a waste of time now.
