Carbon (Twitter) Review
Developer: Dots & Lines ( +Carbon for Android )
Genre: Social (Twitter Client)
Platform: Android | iOS
Version: 2.1.1
Google Play Description
“All-new Carbon v2 with a new design and experience.
Carbon experience for Android Smartphones. No Tablet
support yet.
Simple, Dark, and a dash of elegance for your Twitter
day-to-day pleasure.
Carbon is a Twitter client, but unlike other Twitter
clients. All of your Twitter content on one screen. A screen that doesn't get
you drilling down to many other screens to reach to what you want. Timelines,
Lists, Favorites, Searches, Trends, Profiles, all there.”
What is it?
Carbon is a Twitter client for android that utilizes a clean
dark theme that will make most other clients turn green with envy.
What’s Hot:
-
Dark Theme
-
Free w/o ads
-
Ability to view YouTube, Vines, and Instagram
content in app
-
User name auto complete
-
Multiple accounts
-
Ability to edit profiles
-
Cool cover photo dolly out animation when
viewing profiles
What’s Not:
-
No form of tweet longer…
-
At times feels a bit buggy trying to reply or
retweet or view content
-
Can’t create or edit lists
-
Imgur images still show up as urls…
-
Not optimized for Tablets
 |
Summary:
Carbon is a pretty cool Twitter app. I remember before it
was originally released for android how people were anxiously awaiting its
arrival. It took over a year from when they announced development to when it
was actually released. Was it worth the wait…? Kind of and, and then again not
really. For a free app it is the best out there with the Official app in a very
close second.
Recommendation
I recommend this app to anyone who is tired of the
default twitter app and is looking for a free option.
How to Improve:
Tablet UI – Tablets are very popular now it’s only natural
to move with the market.
White Out Theme – Shockingly some people don’t like dark
themed apps.
Imgur Support – It actually surprised me that it wasn’t already
List support – You can view already made list but you can’t
make them.
Longer Tweets – some people can’t express themselves in
under 140 characters...
