iPhone App Review: Twinkle

Twinkle Icon

First post, I decided to do an App review.

This one is Twinkle. A useful social Networking Application that links with your Tapulous account, and if you have one, your Twitter account.

The really nice thing about Twinkle, is it shows people around you, narrowed down to anyone within 1000, 100, 50, 25, 10, 5, 2, and 1 miles of you. You can also set it to people everywhere. However it doesn’t show people who use other twitter apps such as Twitterific, however this can be forgiven.

It can be looked at as a very useful app or a useless app. I choose to think of it as a good thing, because it can help in any number of ways. From meeting up with friends, meeting new ones, learning about things happening around you, or even for support with something you have an issue with.

Right after the App launched, Amazon S3 had some issues, causing a lot of problems with the App, however they are working hard to recover from that and will be back to normal soon. So ignore any crashes over the next few days, and try it out!

Bottom Line: If you like Twitter, you will love Twinkle. If you dont like Twitter, or are in-between, at least give it a try. I didnt like it right away, but now it is my favorite App. It can be used often, or just once in a while. It is a solid app, which has so far only had issues because of Amazons S3 Accident.
