It wasn’t broken, why did you fix it?
This app used to work OK. I could check in several times a day, and every time I did, I would be looking at the last tweet I looked at the last time I was on. Now, if I am off the app or the device for more than a short period of time, the app just deposits me at the newest tweets, like I don’t care what has been going on. This makes the app, and therefore Twitter pretty much useless to me.
Twitter has also started pruning tweets, and giving them to me out of order. For instance, if I am off the app for 9 hours, doing something like working, and come back. After I have scrolled down to the tweets I last looked at, and then start scrolling back to the newer tweets, I will see some tweets that seem to be only relaying part of a conversation, then when I have almost caught up, I will start to see much older tweets that then fill in holes in conversations. It’s like Twitter is trying to decide what I should be looking at, rather than just showing me what has been going on in chronological order.
All of this is making it very hard to keep using Twitter, keep it up, and I’ll just stop using the service.
