Over the past decade, Twitter has evolved from a simple microblogging service to a giant that - whether we like it or not - has an impact on the course of history (for example, Elon Musk's tweet about Dogecoin). Twitter is used by actors, corporations and singers, as well as gossips and jokes..
Despite the fact that Twitter has an official app that does its job, there are more decent alternatives. Some third-party applications have functionality that the original version does not have.
Plume
Plume app has a lot of settings. It allows you to change the color of your tweet or individual users' feed, add multiple accounts, share messages to Facebook, and even broadcast videos directly from the app..
A smart discussion viewer highlights conversations that interest you (based on word searches) or conversations you participate in, and a set of widgets makes it easy to send tweets from your phone's home screen.
Plume also has a large set of additional options, including support for the bitly.com link shortening service, switching between tabs using a swipe. The app is only available for Android, iOS users will have to look elsewhere..

If you list all the functionality, it will take several pages. Just look at the last screenshot - there are not so many settings in any other client.
It lets you upload multiple pictures or GIFs at once, reply to multiple tweets, search for tweets, view trends, edit lists, and more. The interface cannot be called the most beautiful, but the application is one of the fastest and, most importantly, it is free.
