Press Release – iTweetReply 2

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Sydney, Australia — Application developer Syncode has today released a significant update to iTweetReply, version 2.0 [App Store]. iTweetReply was one of the very first Twitter-based push notification clients, and has now been rewritten and redesigned from scratch into a universal binary providing an application for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

iTweetReply 2 now focuses on push notifications, offering multiple account support, the ability to push Twitter search terms, unified push history, opening a notification in a Twitter client, advanced Tweetie 2 opening, iPad support and more.

In line with changes to the Twitter API, all interactions between Twitter and iTweetReply are now done through OAuth.

“With Twitter’s upcoming closure of Basic Auth one of the biggest reasons for developing iTweetReply 2 was to enable the use of OAuth (through xAuth), a token system of exchange where user password’s are not stored. The use of OAuth enables for better security and piece of mind all round.” said co-founder and Systems Engineer Matthew Lesh.

iTweetReply 2 is a free upgrade for existing users, providing a cleaner and smoother application that integrates with user’s existing full Twitter clients. iTweetReply provides one complimentary account and two complimentary search terms with further account and search packs available using in-app purchases.

Unified push history provides one view for seeing all incoming replies, direct messages, timeline and search that have been pushed to your account.

“iTweetReply has been totally re-written from the ground up, giving users exactly what they both want and need through a much smoother interface, and with its availability on both the iPhone and iPad, it redefines how 3rd-party Twitter push notification application function.” said co-founder and software engineer Matthew Roberts.

iTweetReply 2 is available from today on Apple’s App Store.

Press Release: Latest Twitter push app on the loose

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Australian iPhone development firm Syncode has released the latest version of iTweetReply, one of the rare Twitter applications that pushes @ reply tweets from Twitter straight to your iPhone.

The latest version of iTweetReply incorporates many new features originally planned for the next version of the app including Quick Push and the ability to choose a popular Twitter application to open your Tweets when they’ve been pushed to your iPhone.

The great thing about QuickPush is that “it instantly pushes @ replies and direct messages between iTweetReply users,” said co-founder Matthew Lesh. “This ability should push iTweetReply to a true replacement for those expensive SMS messages,” he said.

“You can even change the notification sound for when you receive a new @ reply,” Lesh said. “You can even customise @ replies to sound like an SMS.”

As well as the general user interface getting a makeover, and subtle changes to the logo, splash screen and timeline, Syncode has made it easier for users to read their Tweets.

The ability to retweet another use has also been added to the app.

“We plan to implement lots of new features of the coming weeks and month,” Lesh said.
