'Twitter failed time and again to keep its Mac app up to date with the service's latest features — it took the company more than seven months to bring 'Moments' which launched in October of 2015, to its Mac client,' The Verge report added. Twitter users are unlikely to mourn the loss of the Mac desktop app for long, given its paltry user rating of 1.7 out of 5 stars. Tweetbot, one of the most popular Twitter clients for iOS and Mac, is currently available at a 50% discount on the App Store. The Twitter client is usually priced at $10, but thanks to the discount, you can grab it for $4.99 only. The discount is valid for both iOS and Mac versions of the app.
Did anybody really use that thing anyway?

In an effort to make its product more efficient across platforms, Twitter has decided to discontinue its Mac desktop app altogether.
The company announced on Friday that it’s pulled the application from Apple’s App Store and will end Support for Twitter for Mac in 30 days. Given the app’s paltry average user rating—1.7 out of 5 stars—it’s unlikely this decision will disappoint many people.
Bongard soleo oven manual instructions. We're focusing our efforts on a great Twitter experience that's consistent across platforms. So, starting today the Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download, and in 30 days will no longer be supported.

Part of this dissatisfaction comes from the fact that Twitter repeatedly failed to keep its Mac app up to date with its latest updates. For example, Twitter introduced its Moments feature in October 2015, but it didn’t become available on the Mac app until May 2016.
Third-party apps such as Tweetbot and in-house dashboard apps like TweetDeck consistently provided a more user-friendly experience than Twitter’s own Mac app. This should come as little surprise, considering Twitter outsourced the development of its Mac app.
Twitter’s deletion of its Mac app should allow the platform to focus on improving its web and mobile experience, proving that sometimes, less is more. Hopefully, this means it can continue purging white supremacists from its midst, and the rest of us can continue to share memes and dog videos in peace.

My favourite Twitter client on iOS is TweetBot. It is there on both my iPhone and my iPad. I simply love it. There can probably be no comparison between the Twitter for iPhone/iPad (or any other third-party Twitter app) and TweetBot. The only little downside is that it is not free. It has to be bought separately on both the iPhone and iPad. But, it is a small price for an awesome piece of app.
Naturally, I wanted something as good as TweetBot on Mac. TweetBot wasn’t for Mac, and Twitter for Mac became a pain to use. I tried TweetDeck but couldn’t stand the sight of it. And then, TweetBot for Mac came along. It came as Alpha first, and remained Alpha for a while and was free to download and use. It then turned to Beta, and finally, it was released. There was a price tag on the final version, and I happily bought it off the Mac App Store. There were bugs here and there, but overall, it worked solidly. It was every bit as good as its iOS counterparts.
iOS has an “Auto Correct” functionality–which can be turned off from the settings, but which you shouldn’t do if you want to be able to type/tap text at ease on your device–which is smart enough to automatically detect what you’re typing that isn’t correct, suggest a correction, and then correct it. It is so unbelievably good that once you get used to, which takes very little time, you cannot simply live without it. At all. The same auto-correct feature is available on the latest OS X versions on the Mac as well. However, unlike the auto-correct on iOS which pops up a visible suggestion giving you an option to select or discard it, the auto-correct on Mac isn’t so effective because when you are typing fast on a keyboard, and as you type away, the auto-correct applies the suggested corrections without your really noticing them. The end result is that you end up with text with certain words that you did not remember typing at all and which, while are correct, don’t really make sense in the context. This becomes really very annoying.
While it is possible to globally disable “auto-correct” on OS X via settings, a lot of the apps unfortunately still override the setting. For those apps, the setting can be manually disabled from the “Edit > Spelling and Grammar” menu.
The same is the case with TweetBot for Mac. With one catch: you can manually disable the auto-correct from the menu bar, but not permamently. Every time you open a new compose tweet window, the setting is overriden once again. That’s annoying as hell.
Not having found any solution, I wrote to Tapbots (the authors of TweetBot) about it. They confirmed that indeed it was a bug in the current version and that it would be fixed in the new release. However, for the meantime, they suggested a temporary fix for the auto-correct that requires running a command on the Terminal. It’s pretty easy. All you have to do is open up Terminal, and run the following command:
defaults write com.tapbots.TweetbotMac TextAutoCorrect -bool NO

That’s it! Auto-correct will be permanently disabled for TweetBot for Mac. Bliss!
I would like to thank the Tapbots guys for kindly providing the fix and acknowledging the problem.
