Tweet Lanes: First Impressions

Another Twitter app bound to impress, Tweet Lanes. Tweet Lanes does not feel like a completely finished product, and rightfully so, as it is still undergoing many changes constantly.

Timeline of Tweet Lanes

Tweet Lanes provides a 'holo' theme creating a very clean and refreshing interface. There is a persistent status bar at the bottom for easy access to sending out new tweets. Another cool feature of this app is that there are picture previews on the side. These pictures can be from Instagram, Yfrog, etc. This makes it easy for you to view the pictures instead of clicking on the tweet, and waiting for it to load.

Loading times are very quick, as it has a minimal theme. I love the look of the app, and the usability is fantastic!

Here are the options

The menu button on your GB phone does not work in this app, and instead, one must press on their twitter name to reveal this drop down menu. Here, you can provide feedback and even get the app for free. According to the developer, new features will become premium, and cost money. As this app is currently in the start up stage, they are offering it to you for free once you click on that button.

Settings is currently not accessible. It would be nice to have the ability to choose how often the app is updated with new tweets. Also, push notifications have not been added yet to notify when someone has DM or tweeted you. 

Tweet Lanes also takes advantage of the volume rocker, giving you the ability to scroll through your tweets with ease. It's actually pretty cool to read through your newest tweets without placing your finger on the screen at all! This might be particularly useful with big phones such as the Galaxy Note.

So far, I like the app, and will be using it in conjunction with Scope Beta. Great idea, with a clean interface gives a promising future.
