Night Owl App Reviews

The three tabs were better, and the converstaion button is confusing to get back to your own tweets. Update lost all my settings.

This is a great twitter client. Its feature-rich, its simple, and highly customizable. However, I beg of the developers (with great appreciation) to allow us to use custom fonts/font sizes for the Twitter timeline. Also, I would like an option where we could hide the "Reply" and "Favorite" icons from each tweet, allowing us to further simplify the timeline. Other than my feature requests, I highly recommend the app — it is the only one that I use.

You can use the space bar to go through your unread tweets, and it will mark the tweet read in any tab it shows up in. Space bar will go to the next tab with unread tweets once youve read all the tweets in the currently selected tab. If you put your lists in tabs, you can see unread count for each list. Oh and it has keyboard controls for just about everything. YoruFukurou beats all the big name twitter apps if you ask me.

Yorufukurou is ugly. Theres no denying that. Timelines are one utilitarian list, little time is spent prettying up mouse control and it lacks all the fancy inertial scrolling/rubberbanding of most twitter clients. But it is fast and the UX makes sense. Nearly every action has a (reasonably) sensible key command. Actions are responsive. I have two twitter accounts and what I need from a client is the ability to read a unified timeline (this is default, but not required), quickly see conversations and post tweets using only the keyboard. In that regard YFs better than Twitter for Mac, the web interface, Twitteriffic and a number of other third party clients. Oh and you can build custom tabs and searches. And you can filter tweets by user, keyword, application (!) or regular expressions.

I have used many different twitter apps on my macbook pro and this app is my favorite out of all of them. It is lightning fast on TL refreshes and visually customizable like no other client Ive used. Theres a bit of a learning curve on some of its other options like tabs and hotkeys, but nothing too difficult. Try this app for a few weeks. If you are a twitter addict, this app will deliver your fix.

this is probably my fave mac twiter app. the autocomplete is siiiick. doesnt have issues displaying twitter images like the stock twitter app does. What it needs: -more coloring. links and @usernames and hashtags need highlighted in tweets

For a free app, this client is alright. Theres still A LOT that I would add, but that would warrant a price tag. Anyway, I only got it because I refuse to pay $20 for Tweetbot, which I find to be the best Twitter client available across the market - for both iOS and OS X. Tweetbot spoiled me a bit, so I wont even go down the endless list of things Id add/change in this app, or the very few things I think I like about it. But to be fair, Im rating it a 3 becuase it is pretty decent to be free.

Works great since moving from Tweetbot latest beta. Just need some time to learn all the new shortcuts

Things that are important to me in a twitter client: TweetMarker, j/k scrolling where I can see forward and back some, regex filtering, clean UI. Tons of other nice stuff like coversation views, etc. I stopped using this app a while ago because of the lack of TweetMarket support, so glad I came back to it.

Its easy to use and no glitches as far as I can see. I have it installed on a Macbook Pro and my IMac.

Finally, its working again!! My favorite Twitter client fixed the "follow" problem when clicking on a link in a Tweet. Im back to 5 stars for this software . If youre an advanced Twitter user and want a client thats excellent, YF is your choice. IMHO, YF is much better than Tweetbot because it allows you to construct your Tweet in the order you want. Links are not automatically shuttled off to the last part of the message, as happens in Tweetbot. My only criticism is that support for this software in nonexistent. The problem of YF going haywire in the last version when a link was clicked was impossible to report, and it took months to fix. (This release returns the client to its original functionality.) If you can live with that, and I have, this software is second to none as a Twitter client.

YF doesnt look & feel much like any other Twitter client, and thats good. YF is uncompromisingly a MacOS X desktop application, not a mimic of the Twitter website or a smartphone app. As such, it has a highly flexible and functionality-focused UI that is not (at least by default) as cute as it might be, but which works well. If you *want* a flashier look, it has an amazing depth of configurability, easily found in the Preferences dialog where it belongs. YF also offers a rare wealth of functional features (such as versatile types of "muting" and user-defined tabs) that compare favorably to most commercial Twitter clients & outshines Twitters own clients (including TweetDeck.) The only caveat for YF is that Twitter has made it quite clear that they dislike the idea of 3rd-party clients, and are particularly opposed to clients like YF that provide tools for users to shape the content of their tweetstreams and the ways tweets appear. YF would be an obvious first target if Twitter actually starts enforcing the UI rules they have published for client apps using their API, and the way their API works provides them the power to disable YF (or any client) unilaterally.

This is by far the best twitter client for MAC

Overall this is a really good Twitter app. The layout is clean and pleasant, the app is straightforward to use, and it does everything I need it to (which is not much, disclaimer) in a way that is not difficult to figure out. However. As other reviewers have mentioned, the font in each tweet is one color no matter what the text is - mentions, links, and hashtags are all the same color as the plain text, and there is no way to customize this. Even hovering over linked or hashtag text doesnt change the color or even underline the text, unless the tweet is selected. Theres no scrolling through your timeline to find a link, they all blend in. If they can fix this issue, this would be my Chosen Twitter App, but until then Im looking for an alternative.

I really love this app. When I first got it, I wasnt so impressed. Now I use it all the time.

5-Star if it comes with image preview and icon only tab bar.

This is the Twitter app I have been looking for. It is easy to use, fast, allows you to quickly mark tweets/DMs are Read and provides a nice detail view of participants via its “drawer” window. Toggling Conversations is simple and easy to read. I am tossing the other dozen or so Mac Twitter apps I have purchased in the Trash. Someone actually sat down and thought about what the user does and not what Twitter does with its app. Score on for the U/X guys. If there was one thing I could change on this app it would be to have it highligt the next DM in a list on delete. There is a key combination to delete DMs and if this were in place I could finally discard all these DMs.

I love this nifty little app - its my go-to Twitter app, but it would be nearly perfect if it would support a tab for retweets - now that Twitter doesnt consider an official retweet to be mentioning you, they never show up in Yorufukurou, and I like to thank the folks who retweet things for me, at the very least I want to be aware of them at a glance inside this app instead of having to use a different service or utility to monitor that. Aside from that and the aforementioned issue with font color as it relates to links, hashtags, twitter handles, etc., its really a great app. I hope the developer will take some of the feedback into account when updating.

There’s nothing to dislike, for me, about this app. But I play with the others. What’s astonishing to me is that this is the only Mac Twitter app that lets you select text in a tweet and use the services menu. I.e., get a defintion, do a google search, etc. I do that all the time.

This app is the best „For Twitter“ app in all time, it do what every twitter app should do, but there’s some lack of support recently, i use this app since 2009 or 2010 idk, it makes your life easier and twitter more fun and trackable/readable, just need some more services support like Twitter GIF’s and Instagram Videos, Vines? i’m sure the developer is lazy lately but WAKE UP we use your app everyday so we’re expecting more from you :D thanks for making this great app for free all this time.
