Twitterrific 5, The Iconfactory’s freemium Twitter client for iOS and OS X platforms, has received its iOS 9-focused update this morning.
The app is now fully optimized for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices running iOS 9 and supports new Slide Over and Split View multitasking modes on compatible iPads. If you own an iPad Air 2 or an iPad mini 4, you may now run Twitterrific and another app side-by-side in iOS 9’s new Split View mode.
This is a great feature as you can now pin Twitterrific on the right and configure it to use Safari as your browser instead of in-app. In addition to iOS 9-specific support, this edition of Twitterrific includes other changes and improvements listed further below.
Quick Reply and more
Taking advantage of new APIs in iOS 9, Twitterrific now supports Quick Replies directly from the notification banner for alerts with @mentions. Support for sending and receiving long Direct Messages has been implemented as well and you can now quickly change accounts by swiping up or down on your timeline with two or three fingers
