I found an interesting app today on the iTunes app store. It's a Twitter Photo viewer and discovery app. Like Twitter, it helps you discover photos in twitter trends, public timeline, friends timeline, favorites and open searches.

It's one of those apps that you can hardly put down after loading it up and it's detrimental to the health of the battery life. They have thought about how to present and navigate the photos quite well. I like they way it is organized and it's close to how twitter is organized.

I really like the fact that I can discover photos that were tweeted by my friends that I might have missed out when I was not watching the Twitter timeline. With the search function, I can easily search for photos of an event like the #openhackday in Bangalore or the time I decided to tweet a few retro photos of mine with the hash tag #retromikef.

The photo view is very well designed with scrollable tweets, swipe and even selectable in-tweet links. Other functions include the ability to retweet, reply, email and save the photo to the camera roll. Because it's a discovery app, it has a nice follow feature that allows you to follow anyone interesting that you might have discovered.

It also has a filter capability that filters out retweets, replies and duplicates. Which quickly eliminate the duplicated photos that could be quite annoying sometimes. However I must warn that by filtering retweets, you might miss out on discovering some new photos as your friends will be retweeting other twitterers.

I only found 1 minor bug, when you @reply, the app don't indicate that you are replying to another tweet, so will might miss out on the conversation view because it does not reference the previous tweet. In fact when reply a tweet, the title of the app shows retweet instead.

Overall I love this app. Now i can keep track of all photos on my timeline. So the 600 or so people please don't send a pic or twitpic all at once ok?
