This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m really liking the new version.

I find this quite hit and miss though. Most of the time it works perfectly, but other times it doesn’t work at all.
I’ll keep a look out. What does not working look like?
There’s obviously a thread (e.g. 1/15 or /1 in the tweet), but when you swipe, it only shows replies to the original tweet, it doesn’t show you the author’s follow up tweets

I see the same, but I have always assumed it’s down to how the tweeter accomplished it. It may be down to the client they are using.

I found it hit or miss, too, whereas when you go into the discussion in Twitterific, you can choose to see replies, or see the thread. I otherwise prefer Tweetbot, but that was enough to get me to switch.
I’ve purchased at least three versions of Tweetbot so far and, while I’m not a fan of subscriptions, didn’t hesitate to upgrade to v6.
OTOH, I’m finding less to like about Twitter every day, so my continued use of it is by no means certain.

I am a Twitterrific user myself, also since day 1 and when they went subscription model, I subbed as well. The same $1/month sub allows me to also use the Mac App Store version as well as the Universal iPad version, so it’s a no brainer for me. Also, I like the Twitterrific and Iconfactory team. They seemed to be very down to earth (at least from their tweets) and pleasant people.
Tweetbot’s Paul Haddard, though, does not seem like a nice guy. He can be quite arrogant at times and while his Tweetbot does look good and beautiful, I’m more willing to support the Twitterrific guys. I am, however, surprised at the popularity of Tweetbot in Apple-verse.

Well 6.0.1 just came out. Admittedly it’s just a bug fix or several. But at least it shows they don’t think they’re done with 6.0 - so this is mildly encouraging.
BTW, I asked about the Mac app and this was the reply.

Maybe they can then decide whether to SwiftUI or Catalyst it.

Might be hard. I believe they still use Objective-C instead of Swift?

Is the subscription iOS only or does it link to the macOS version also?
The Mac version is standalone.
