When it comes to downloading apps, i am very selective, unlike my brother who count’s no. of Screens he has filled with apps and compares it with other people.

So, i’ve got a Handful of Twitter apps whose Awesomeness makes me include them in my Hit list for the best free twitter apps for iPhone / iPod Touch made till now. And this time, not just names or Pics, but strong reliable reviews too 😉

1.) TwitBird : Well, this name might be unheard but, once after checking out the app, it wont be. This is a Must for people who love organized Stuff and are not much behind a programs User Interface (Are there any?).

You can Handle Multiple Accounts with this, so Unlike some Twitter Apps, you won’t need to Log out and log in again while using two or more twitter accounts. It’s also got Extra Tools like Nearby Tweets, which locates people nearby your location using iPhone’s very own GPS and shows their tweets in the timeline.

Wait a Minute. I did tell that it’s not for those who go behind User Interface, but there’s something which anyone would surely like. Just adding a BG to your twitter app would make your app more nice to use, this app supports this and allows you to add a Background from Twitter’s Very Own Collection or your own albums too.

You can also Filter Your Tweets according to the messages present state, if it’s read or unread.

2.)  Twitterena Lite : Well, its another simple app for twitter. Personally, i have never faced any problem with this app like sudden freezing, although it hasn’t been pretty well with other twitter apps.

Another thing i like about this App, is the Bird sound which pops in and i like it pretty well 🙂

3.) TwitBit Lite : Supports Multiple accounts. Has a Good User Interface 🙂 I don’t know why, but when i compared it with other twitter apps, this one seems to load the new tweets fastest and the refresh rate is awesome.

Also, You can BookMark Some tweets and certain profiles or further reference, which i don’t think any of the twitter apps do provide 🙂

4.) Twizzle : Ah. Neat things, i love them all. And when it come’s to Twizzle, it’s got everything i need. A very simple twitter app, free from useless stuff, and instead of making a mess, it shows all important features. It includes a Search Bar on the home screen.

The icons which you can see on the Tweet Page, Send Message, Reply and Retweet just rock. The timeline design is good too! It’s worth giving a try if you really, want the Main Content rather than just some other stuff.

5.) TweetDeck for iPhone : All time Favorite and is the most popular iPhone Twitter Client. Best User Interface, and the ability to add columns is more explainable, by you (Shouts to Readers).

Provides, nearly all features needed by one twitter user, ability to upload images to twitter via twitpic. But in midst of all this, i’ve read lots of cases and complains about tweetdeck users, that they are sick of the crashes they are facing.

So, Have you tried any of these apps? Would you like to see another app over here? Mention it in the comments!
