Howl

Twitter for iPhone and iPod Touch

Howl is a full-featured, blistering fast, easy-to-learn, and even easier-to-use Twitter client for the iPhone.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

I've discontinued distribution of Howl for the simple reason that I'm fully occupied with a contract that currently demands my full attention—my clients deserve nothing less.

But users who were lucky enough to have downloaded Howl continue to enjoy the finest geographical search available for mobile Twitter clients as well as all of the other features described below.

NEW IN VERSION 1.0.3

  • Push Notifications.

NEW IN VERSION 1.0.2

  • Simpler Direct Message creation.
  • Enhanced Tweet Thread view.

FEATURES

Multiple accounts

Manage multiple accounts easily. Switch accounts with just a couple touches.

Thread views

View tweet threads on one screen. Howl doesn't force you to navigate one-by-one through your reply chains.

View all of your direct message exchanges with another user on one screen.

Caching

Howl lets you read your messages anywhere you want to, whether you have an Internet connection or not.

Blistering speed

Howl loads your messages post-haste, and scrolls with blistering speed.

Unparalleled search

Search for messages by location, exact phrase, combinations of words, sender, and mention. No other Twitter client even comes close.
