Overview:Get fully immersed in your
Twitter with this beautiful, feature PACKED Twitter client with a design that actually makes sense!
Created with Android 4.4 (KitKat) in mind. Includes full screen (translucent) layouts, stunning animations and more! Of course that doesn’t mean earlier versions of android get left out! The only thing that wasn’t able to be recreated in Android 4.3 and below was the transparent navigation and status bars… Sorry! It just isn’t possible
Beautiful, up-to-date layouts, designs, and neat animations isn’t the only thing
Talon has going for it though! The list of features is enormous as well, doing everything you could ever want from a Twitter app right off the bat. Even though it is new, I have added every single
major and minor Twitter feature that I think is absolutely essential plus a ton that most people wouldn’t even think of. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of its features:
Twitter features:
- Live streaming support
- Support for 2 accounts
- View your timelines (main, mentions, direct messages, links, and pictures)
- Favorite users
- Update your profile picture, banner, location, and user description
- block, follow, and add users to lists
- Attach locations to your tweets
- And the list goes on
Customization features:
- Extremely powerful developer theme engine (https://github.com/klinker24/talon_theme)
- Choose between either “Talon” or “Hangouts” layouts
- Choose from 3 beautiful base themes (light, dark, and pitch black)
- Custom text sizes
- Night mode
- Auto-Refresh options
- Custom notification settings
- And many other goodies in there as well!
App Features:
- “Talon Pull” to be always listening for tweets/interactions
- Expandable, actionable, and dynamic notification system
- Full app popup
- Full emoji support
- View in-line Twitter and Instagram pictures
- View in-line YouTube thumbnails
- Native YouTube player
- In-app browser
- Complete landscape and tablet modes
- Advance to new pages in a “windowed” viewing mode
- Never leave your timeline with in-line replies, favorites, and retweets
- Hiding action bar
- “Do not disturb” mode
- Widget for main timeline
- DashClock Extension
- Google style pull to refresh for quick refreshing
You will never go back to your old Twitter client again!
