Twitter rolled out sweeping updates to all of its mobile properties this week, mostly to support the new Twitter Cards, but unfortunately, those who are using the service on Android aren?t so happy.
The app has always been a bit buggy on the Android platform, but the issues that are being reported are more than just a little problematic. Users have experienced not being able to open the ?Me? tab which allows you to access your DMs and switch accounts, important parts of the service. I?ve experienced this bug from the second that the update was released, and I?ve heard that Twitter is working on the issue. It?s not affecting all devices, but this tweet search shows it as being pretty widespread.
You?re presented with a blank screen and a small spinner, with no information or message that says that the service is having any problems. At first, I thought that I just had a poor connection, but after using the app with WiFi turned on, it became clear that this was a big ol? bug:
Since Twitter has been streamlining all of its apps, and site, it?s a glaring issue when one of the four tabs don?t work.
While no timeframe is being offered, and Twitter hasn?t made an official statement on the issue, it?s safe to say that the beautiful redesign that the Android app received is overshadowed by these issues. If you?re having the same issue, you might have to revert to using the mobile version of the site, as I?ve done. Or, you could search for yourself and get to your profile that way.
The nice part about Google Play is that as soon as Twitter updates the app with a new build, it will go live for everyone to grab without any submission process like Apple?s.
Hurry up, Twitter, people are cheesed off about not being able to get their DMs from cute girls and stuff.
