Fantastic update!
-
Stopped using all these third party apps after Twitter updated their app.

As a power user no Twitter client fully satisfies me, but the official one is the worst. No polls, no gif button, no photo tagging (the older 8.1 app had this), user profile doesn't show if that user follows you... Until it's feature-complete I'll stick with Tweetium.

Tweetium is a glitch fest.
-
It works better for me than other clients, once again including the official app. It's the only app I've tried with decent notifications and an *extended* notifications tab (Connect+). Totally worth the Pro subscription despite its UI being a bit outdated and some weird issues/glitches on the Redstone builds. My 2nd favorite would be Fenice but I don't like some UI decisions (full-screen composer on PC/tablets, really)? Gonna give Aeries another try. Sent from my laptop on Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview

If one is only a very light Twitter user, would the official one be ok IYHO versus all the others?
-
The official one is pretty good so you'd be fine with it. You might not even use the missing features at all. :) Sent from my Lumia 830 on Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview

Back button doesn't close it now :/ but, it doesn't refresh when I get to the top anymore! #firstworldproblems

Which is better? Third party or official
-
Third party
-
Official app is more stable and reliable with notifications, but Aeries has cool stuff like better list viewing, landscape mode and an excellent Continuum experience.
-
I tried almost all 3rd party. So far I am switching between Tweetium and Aeries. I would like Fenice but cant stand that links are always shown compleatly.
-
Have you tried Aristea? Among all others, it's the prettiest.
