A comment on the problem "Tweetie2 shows read DMs & @replies as unread after restart!" in atebits:

Totally agree Atebits needs to admit this app is flawed and inform those that purchased when this solution will be released. Clearly our only value to Atebits is our money and not our loyality and ongoing support. In an already crowded market I would suggest Atebits consider the long term impact of screwing with loyal supporters for future products when there is now a good variety of choice especially regarding Twitter apps. Tweetie2 is under tougher competition now and this version is a mess. – Derek Hall, on November 20, 2009 19:19

A comment on the problem "Tweetie2 shows read DMs & @replies as unread after restart!" in atebits:

Paradoxa, my approach changed when Ashponder decided to close this thread as solved when it clearly was not. Like you I have supported Atebits product, using Tweetie for Mac and loving Tweetie1. Both these two products I've encourage others to purchase and stuck with when new products came on the market. I was truly disappointed with the bugs in Tweetie2 and I honestly expected Atebits to release a new version ASAP! Instead they treated us as if the app was a free trial version and we could just suck it up. Well if its solved where is the new version? And why are they treating us with such disrespect? – Derek Hall, on November 20, 2009 19:15

Paradoxa, Birdhouse is another amazing app. But what we need here is clear answers or our money back. Tweetie2 is not living up to the product it claims to be and therefore we are entitled to demand a response or our money back.

Same here no Jailbreak.

The truth is this app is not finish! This problem has not been solved! We are not a Beta Testing Group.

Either admit the app is bug ridden and give us a date when the fix will be available or give us all a REFUND.

But pretending its our problem and that it been resolved meaning nothing to us, accept to further piss us of and force us to other apps.

After all there is many other options for the iPhone. The problem is we paid for an app that does not work properly and you know it!

Tweetie 2 keep repeating my tweet all by itself.

New problem occurring with Tweetie 2 - Now it has decided to repeat posting the same tweet over and over again. People now think I'm Re-tweeting my own post. Seriously this app is flawed badly. Its still does not remember my read-unread messages. Avatars don't ever come up and it never remembers where I left off and goes back to the same page no matter what.

As I've said in other posts, we should not have been paying to be part of a BETA Testing Group. This app was not ready for release and this version is getting worse each time I use it. Come on Atebits, sort this out while we customers can still be bothered with it.

Jasper & Antihero, you guys said it. How can this problem be considered solved when we all still have these issues? Further there has yet to be a reply to my question of when will 2.1 be available through the Apple Store?

From what I read here we are feeling ripped off being sold an bug ridden version that clearly was not ready for release. We are not a Beta Testing Group, we paid for this app. Mark it solved ONLY when its ACTUALLY solved!

Paradoxa, you hit it on the nail! Its not a finished product and we have all paid for the pleasure of being part of the BETA testing.

Its very annoying to have purchased this app when I could have got Echofon Pro which is getting rave reviews and does not appear to have these issues. Instead I thought if we are paying for the Tweetie 2 it must be a major leap forward in comparison to Tweetie 1. I didn't expect the glitches to have me thinking of going to another iPhone client.

That is why I'm looking to know when the update is due, as I might switch to another app and mark my experience with Tweetie 2 as a mistake. As Paradoxa says I dig Atebits software but this not a finished app and its rubbing salt in the wounds of loyal supports of Tweetie 1.

Ashponders, if you have good news it would be good to hear it.

Ashponders, do you know when we can expect an update to fix these bugs. I'd like to say that Tweetie 2 is brilliant like I have always said about Tweetie 1, but to be honest the shine was taken off it with these persistent bugs. It feels like a Beta version rather than a finished product.

Snip, I'm currently still using Tweetie 1 as Tweetie 2 is full of bugs and glitches. Love the new features, but no push notification is a big draw back. I'd be happy if they fixed these bugs quickly.

Derek Hall started following the problem "Tweet Notification Using Auto Scroll" in atebits.

Derek Hall started following the problem ""Dim previously selected tweets" doesn't dim enough" in atebits.

Derek Hall started following the problem "Tweets remain marked as unread in @ feed after reading in timeline" in atebits.

Totally agree with you. If you get a Beta or Free app you put up with problems, but we paid for this app on top of Tweetie 1 it should work or at the very least be address urgently. No replies, no advice and it would seem no interest from Atebits.

They need to get this sorted and stop counting the profits.
