Five Twitter clients on Windows 8 face to face

Twitter is a social network where, in addition to receiving the latest news in real time, we can also find out about current issues, both local and global. As a result, it has become a very useful tool for business, but also for sharing ideas or simply for having a conversation.

We analyze five Twitter clients for Windows 8 While some stand out for their simplicity, others do so for their elegance or great number of features they offer. If you use Twitter regularly, surely among the clients that we show you today, you will find the one that best suits your tastes and needs.

The Official Twitter App

The official Twitter app is available for Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Phone. It has a design similar to that of the web version, so both its aesthetics and its functions will be familiar to us. Allows you to set up multiple accounts and supports multitasking SnapView

But without a doubt, where this application stands out the most is in its perfect integration with the system, which even allows us to use the Share function of the Charms Bar If we wish, from the options menu we can configure the icon of the Start tile to show the notifications

Rowi, an elegant and practical design

Rowi is a very elegant Twitter client that stands out because thanks to its well-organized design, it allows us to have all its functions at hand .Its interface is quite simple which makes it a fairly fast application It is available for both Windows RT and Windows 8 as well as for Windows Phone.

Rowi offers us a high degree of customization by allowing us to choose from the background color, to the frequency of updates, or the how we want to receive notifications. It is one of the most comfortable Twitter clients when using it in SnapView mode while carrying out other tasks.

Tweetro+, comfort and dynamism

Because Twitter restricted the maximum number of accounts that third-party Twitter clients could have, Tweetro was forced to disappear, being replaced by its paid version Tweetro+ (€8.49). It is one of the best Twitter clients because it offers a large number of functions

Tweetro+ for Windows 8, also gives us the option of connecting multiple accounts, and has a minimalist interface that provides us with comfortable navigation both with the mouse and by touch. Its most striking feature is that loads the content of the links to one side so that we don't lose sight of our Timeline . To see this content in full screen, we just have to click on it.

MetroTwit, simplicity is not incompatible with quality

MetroTwit is designed as a native app for Modern UI, so it fits perfectly on Windows 8 computers and tabletsIts simple but elegant design makes browsing the different sections distributed by columns a very pleasant experience.

MetroTwit offers us all the typical functions of Twitter such as notifications, lists, trends or the possibility of making and saving keyword and tag searches. In addition to being compatible with SnapView, it allows us to block multiple columns to customize our home screen as we like.

Twitter HD, needs improvement

While the first four Twitter clients we talked about are examples of how to get things right, Twitter HD needs to improve in certain areas. As with the other clients, we have at our disposal all the features that Twitter offers but more integration with Modern UI is missing

To begin with, is not compatible with Snapview so we can't keep track of our Timeline while we carry out other tasks. Although on the left side we have the buttons to access the different functions, the main part of the application is displayed in a small area in the central area of ​​the screen, wasting a large spacethat could have been used for other purposes.

The free update Windows 8.1 has brought notable improvements in applications and their integration so from now on we will see the developers create software that will take advantage of all the features that the operating system offers. What features would you add to a Twitter client?
