This week was definitely a good week for making me feel Christmassy. Yesterday, I saw the Coca Cola advert, which as everyone knows, indicates the start of Christmas. And Tweeterena Christmas Edition was released.

To start this review, I will ignore the Christmas aspect of the app and look at the core features. Tweeterena has all the features you would expect from a Twitter app including timeline, @replies, DMs, Photo and Video (3GS only) upload and support for drafts. Tweeterena is simple to use with all of the different sections navigated to with the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Refreshing your timeline is as simple as pressing the refresh button at the top of the screen and turning on magic scroll will take you automatically to the earliest unread tweet. Unread tweets are highlighted to make sure you don’t miss anything important. You can also customise the background when tweeting which is a nice feature to have if you like the theme but don’t like to have an image whilst typing. Which bring me nicely onto the Christmas aspects of this app.

The first thing you will notice in Tweeterena Christmas Edition is the Christmas sounds when it starts up, as well as once it has loaded new tweets. Tweeterena also has four beautiful themes to choose from (nativity is my personal favourite) so you can change the entire look of the app. The themes are polished and it shows a great amount of effort on the developers part. Another special feature is a Christmas soundboard, accessed by pressing the ‘treat’ button. There are nine sounds to play here including fireworks and santa. I could play with this part of the app for hours without even checking my Twitter feed.

Tweeterena Christmas Edition is a fantastic addition to the suite of Tweeterena apps and is fantastic app for anyone who loves Christmas (who doesn’t?). I would also like to mention that the developer of this app, Andrew Weekes, is one of the most helpful developers I have dealt with and he is a credit to the developer community.

Score:
9 out of 10
