Twitterrific has updated its universal iOS app (i.e. for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) to version 3.0.1 with a slew of new features and improvements. So many in fact, that we’d thought we’d just list them below from the release notes.
That said, the biggest improvements include replying by double tapping a tweet, triple tapping to favorite, link shortcuts in iOS 4, and tap and hold to perform actions (including Instapaper!). A great free app just got a lot better.
The app is currently available in the Apple App Store.
