Latest release of the official 'Twitter' app. A perfect lesson in how NOT to design an app! An inexcusable shambles!

@stop Feedback? Okay, tweeting in of itself is a simple concept, texting for the new ages. It is not necessary to overengineer it! Tweetbot!

@stop It is full featured but not overwhelming. It's colour scheme, buttons, choice of fonts are inviting. It maintains uniformity.

@Seal I'm creative director here, and lead the design team. Thus why your comments about the design caught my eye.

@stop ..r hand is the complete opposite of your iPhone app. Uniformity, consistency and doesn't require relearning with each update.

@stop For example, why on earth have you moved the DM tab? I'm sure it's in a more space efficient place but it wasn't broken to begin with.

@Seal To be honest, it's likely optimizing for more mainstream users, not more advanced/power users like you.

@stop Hmm...I wouldn't call myself a "Power user" in the least. However I cannot argue with you, on the assumption you know your market.

@Seal Well, you may not a power user (yet). Anyone with over 1k followers ends up using Twitter differently than those with fewer.

@PapaCl1ck @stop I'm talking about the simple DM section. I shouldn't have to think about where it is. I'm not saying things cannot change..

@Seal @papacl1ck Right. Don't assume this is the end state. This is just the beginning. We'll continue to listen to feedback.

@stop @papacl1ck Up until last week, I didn't even know what hash tagging did. I'm your typical entry level user and even I used DM a lot.

@Seal By the way, in the Twitter app, swiping up from the Me tab will bring up DMs. A glow there indicates new DMs.

@stop Thank you. Redownloaded Official Twitter app and a public apology is in order. It's great now that I understand it. I was wrong.

@Seal The design of this version of the Twitter apps was all about simplifying. Removing less-used features, reorganizing to clarify.

@stop Fair enough—I assume he's referring to the whole experience based on his other tweets. I'm not faulting you, it just seemed cornering.

@stop I have to agree. I was gobsmacked at the new twitter iOS. Completely featureless. Instapaper buried. NO LIST management! DM’s hidden
