Tweetbot 2.3 for iPad brings new tweet detail view, gestures and Storify support

The best Twitter app for the iPad just got better, as Tweetbot has been updated to version 2.3 with a number of excellent new features in tow.

The most impressive of the bunch is a new tweet detail view, which has taken over the ‘right-to-left’ Replies tab. Instead, both Conversations and Replies have been incorporated into the ‘left-to-right’ movement, which makes a lot more sense since very few tweets have an overwhelming number of both.

Tapbots have added another long-requested feature in the ability to mute an individual user’s retweets, a common occurrence for over-ambitious Twitter users. Both Storify and Droplr, two popular services that have been built around easy sharing of conversations and images respectively, have been added to Tweetbot 2.3.

The app is $2.99 and is well worth it if you have an iPad and use Twitter as anything more than a passing fancy. Full change log after the break.
