@bigzaphod @gedeonm @talosman I am crushed and have many many many bad words for the infant in charge over there.

@bigzaphod While I tended to find Tweetbot more my style, as a pre-SouthBy Twitter user, Twitterific had a tremendous impact on me — to the point I spent a lot of money on the kickstarter to rebuild the Mac app. And I still proudly wear my Phoenix Ollie t-shirt on a regular basis. Thanks for everything the IconFactory did for all of us! 🫡

@bigzaphod End of an era indeed 🫡

@bigzaphod first app I ever installed. 🫡

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod 🫡 Was my favourite for a long long time! Will using your app daily💙

@bigzaphod So long and thanks for the fish

@bigzaphod I am genuinely heartbroken right now. My first minute of my first day on Twitter was on Twitterrific. It *was* Twitter for me, for much of the next 10 years. This feels like losing an old friend.

Genuinely, thank you for all you’ve done with Twitterrific. I can’t wait to see what iconfactory does next.

@bigzaphod Holy shit. 14 good, ad-free, chronological years. What a waste.

@bigzaphod I can’t even imagine using Twitter without Twitteriffic. 🫡

@bigzaphod So very sad for all concerned. And so unnecessary by the person that caused it without notice.

@bigzaphod The app I started to use Twitter on. Thank you 🙏

If you all do a Elephant 🐘 focused app I am sure I will be there too ❤️

@bigzaphod End of an era, sorry that this is how it ended. Just downloaded Wallaroo. Thanks for everything!

@bigzaphod The one app I used the most through all these years. I could never quit my Twitter addiction, and Twitterrific being such a great app was part of that. It kept drawing me back in. So long to one of the all-time greats. 🫡

@bigzaphod 😭

@bigzaphod is there a way on your website we can put some final coins in the tip jar?

@bigzaphod thank you all for this pioneering app. What a shame it had to happen like this.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod

@bigzaphod Thanks, Muskyboy. If all the bullshit so far wasn't enough to drive users away, this is definitely the final nail in the coffin. RIP Twitter for real this time.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod it was a pleasure seeing Twitterrific grow and change over the years. May Elon’s windshield forever be covered in Ollie poo 🫡

@bigzaphod By the way, is there Twitterific merch available still, somewhere? It seems like a good number of people wouldn't mind buying stickers, or other Ollie merch?

@bigzaphod Musk is such a petty little bitch.

@bigzaphod 😔

@bigzaphod uff, always liked your apps. Greetings from former application systems Heidelberg employee!

@bigzaphod I wish I had the ability to send a tip or something. I hope there’s a Phoenix-like kickstarter project for whatever comes next.

@bigzaphod sad to see you go. Long time user of Twitterrific.

@bigzaphod It's hard to overstate the influence of Twitterrific -- it was one of the very first apps I installed on my iPhone, from those heady days before the App Store existed and was the first use of a blue bird icon to represent using Twitter. So long, Ollie, and thanks for all the fish.

@bigzaphod thanks for the years of support for a great app!

@bigzaphod thank you and the team for creating one of my favorite apps.

@bigzaphod It’s a sad day. Sorry Sean

@bigzaphod that was a hard sentence to read. Thank you for everything over the years. I wish you well with future endeavours 💜

@bigzaphod this is so sad :(

@bigzaphod another brick out of the wall that is #birdsite

@bigzaphod I'd be interested in a spinoff app that supports #Mastodon.

@bigzaphod I'm not on iOS, and this still feels like a major organ failure for Twitter.

@bigzaphod Thank you—though I never settled on just one Twitter app, Twitterrific was my first, and always remained one of my favorites. It’s sad that it and you had the rug pulled out this way.

@bigzaphod

@bigzaphod @Gargron This was the best Twitter client ever and I have used it for years. No refund needed, and good luck to iconfactory. Twitter is over.

@bigzaphod Elmo sucks 🍆

@bigzaphod so very sorry

@bigzaphod All my good memories of Twitter are with Twitterific. I'm so sorry it's ending like this.

@bigzaphod so sorry, it was one of my favourite apps and I was happy to subscribe 😟

@bigzaphod forever the best iOS Twitter app. RIP

@bigzaphod

@bigzaphod what a sad day today

@bigzaphod So long and thanks for all the f̵i̵s̵h̵tweets…

PS my sub runs (ran) through to July — didn’t and aren’t even considering a refund! All the best!

PS2 Fuck SpaceKaren

@bigzaphod I am not ready to remove Twitterrific from my dock. I think it will make me immediately cry. Twitterrific was Twitter for me and it hurts deeply experience a close friend dying. I bought an Ollie figurine, backed project Phoenix twice and will surely not request any refund. Farewell good friend, you will be deeply missed.

@bigzaphod this is sad. twitter is in shambles.

@bigzaphod this ends my use of Twitter. I had been still using the MacOS app but it seems to not work now

@bigzaphod this is a sad day. I feel like I lost a friend. I wish you all at the Icon Factory all the best and see you in many other great apps that you will make 🤗

@bigzaphod Salut.

@bigzaphod You may have grounds to sue. Just saying.

@bigzaphod 🫡

Such a shame, Twitterrific has always been a beautiful app. Thank you.

@bigzaphod Thank you for all the work you’ve done. Twitteriffic did not deserve to end like this.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod @bigzaphod So sorry to hear this. Twitterrific was my only reason for staying on Twitter, and I thank you, @chockenberry and Iconfactory for all your hard work, and wish you luck and success for the future.

@bigzaphod 🫡😢

@bigzaphod it’s just unbelievable, anyone still using Twitter is saying a lot more about themselves than they realize right now

@bigzaphod

@bigzaphod @barrowclift so sad 😥

@bigzaphod I used Twitterific for quite a while. Y’all had a great run, and were (in my biased but also correct opinion) largely responsible for the growth of #Twitter into the best of what it once was. 🫡

@bigzaphod i am so sorry that it came to this and doubly in this manner.

@bigzaphod Thank you SO much for everything. Your idea, your work, your commitment, your resilience and the way you have been standing. You are an inspiration for me. We will be next to your following steps.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod Aye. I’ve asked that they make a Mastodon client. Offered to pay upwards of $100 for the application.

@bigzaphod heartbreaking 😭

@bigzaphod @dgoldsmith

@bigzaphod RIP :( i never used any iOS twitter clients (i either was an android user or taking a mental health break) but looking in from the outside, it was lovely. if yall want, i would be happy to give permission to use some of my art in walleroo!

💬 @bigzaphod
Sad news about Twitterrific 😢
Consider trying Wallaroo to support the team - https://wallaroo.app

@bigzaphod
FML. The death of Twitterrific means the death of Twitter for me.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod Heartbroken. I can’t quite bring myself to delete the app. I might leave Ollie hanging around for a bit. Cos it’s one of the cutest little icons out there. Wish I’d left him on Spock though.
So sorry for all at Icon Factory.

@bigzaphod I’m sorry! I loved your app. I always kept yours & Tweetbot on my iPhone, Mac, & iPad. You guys didn’t deserve this. You deserve better. I’m sorry this has happened.

@bigzaphod 🫡 thank you for your service

@bigzaphod I could see this happening. Was reading a lot of Reddit posts about users having issues with the 3rd party Twitter apps. We can thank Musk for this

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod Twitterrific will live long and prosper in the history of the AppStore for decades to come, it was such a pleasure to use and also be part of the Testflight - getting a notification of a new build with cool new features was always something that would brighten my days. Thank you.

@bigzaphod thank you for making Twitter a better place with all the work you’ve done. It took me very long to realise what Twitter had become as I was only seeing it through 3rd party clients. You helped me and many many others preserve their sanity there.

@bigzaphod Elon really is an ass, I hope he buries himself in the Twitter-shaped hole he’s dug.

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod @glennf honestly, I’d be happy leaving my subscription up for another renewal.

@bigzaphod thank you, it was a great app. Good bye twitterrific and good bye twitter (I refuse to use their shit app).

@bigzaphod thank you all for making it 🫡 goodnight Ollie!

@bigzaphod 🫡

@bigzaphod
That was my first platform! It was easy to navigate and allowed some customizations. So long, good friend.

@bigzaphod The end of an era. I’m sorry it all went down like this.

@bigzaphod what won’t the narcissistic billionaires ruin… 🤬
