Frustrated Tweetbot and Twitterrific users say they're prepared to quit Twitter after their access to Elon Musk's platform via the 3rd-party apps was revoked
, citing internal Slack messages from a Twitter engineer. The publication also reported that there was speculation Twitter may have cut off the third-party clients because they failed to boost ad revenue.Thomas Schmidt told Insider he used Tweetbot several times a day to get updates from friends and check the news. He preferred Tweetbot to Twitter because of its"pleasant, usable experience." Since the suspension on Thursday, he's joined Mastodon.
"The total lack of communication from Twitter and that it happened with absolutely no warning is highly unprofessional and anger-inducing," Schmidt said, adding that he will likely quit Twitter if he's forced to use its native app. Adrian Jenkins also said he was thinking about leaving Twitter because being blocked from Tweetbot was"hell." He told Insider he didn't like Twitter's app and rarely opened it, whereas he would use Tweetbot multiple times an hour.Meanwhile, users on Twitterrific were also impacted by Twitter's suspension of third-party apps. Paul Wilke, who said he's used Twitterrific for around ten years, said he was disappointed about the news.
"If Twitter continues to go this route, it will definitely curtail my Twitter use and it may be the straw that motivates me to finally quit Twitter once and for all," Wilke said. Twitter didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of US operating hours.Subscribe to push notifications
