Twitterrific 52 brings push notifications, one handful of testers at a time

More than a few iOS-based Twitter users were happy to see Twitterrific 5 appear late last year with a fresh design, but were less than thrilled to go without the push notifications that many take for granted in other apps. Equality has come through Twitterrific 5.2 -- for some, at least. The upgrade at last pops up interactions as they happen, with a symbol to indicate whether it's a conversation, favorite or retweet. Push delivery isn't guaranteed at this point, however. Iconfactory is currently rolling out the beta-level feature to users in batches of 1,000 to avoid oversaturating its servers; you may have to wait awhile. The impatient still get some upgrades to sate their appetite, though, including user banners on profiles, discussion sharing through email and Droplr content thumbnails. If you're willing to pay $6 ($3 on sale) for more than what Twitter gives away for free, the new version may be a good excuse to try something new.

Twitterrific 5 for Twitter going live for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users

Twitter's API rules haven't exactly made life grand for third-party clients, but that's not stopping one of the larger names in the sector from pumping out a redesigned version of its famed app for iPhone 5 and iPad. The Iconfactory's Twitterrific 5 for Twitter (yes, that's the full name) is now available in regions where it's official December 6th, with the rest of the world expected to see it in the coming hours. It's a completely overhauled and redesigned effort, boasting a unified timeline, support for Apple's newest iOS devices, "robust" VoiceOver support, custom themes, pull to refresh, and plenty of other power options for those who'd be willing to pay for such luxuries. Heck, there's even offline support for posting, favoriting and following. Early adopters should be able to snag a copy for under $5, but the introductory fare is slated to expire at an undetermined point in the future.
