Because Tweetbot IS Twitter for many people on iOS? The service isn't nearly as interesting without it. Twitter loses much of its appeal to me (and clearly others) if Tweetbot is not involved.
Tweetbot for Mac should be dropping today.

Look a few pages back for a post I made about what makes Tweetbot different from other clients in terms of functionality.

that doesnt make sense. What about the CONTENT!? and I don't think that is true. I think content matters more than UI
If the UI is designed with precision and intuition, many people find that consuming the content is more desirable (as evidenced through the success Apple products, Flipboard, etc). The UI essentially becomes an extension of the content and the two work interchangbly.
If I can't access the content in an acceptable manner then I don't give a shit about it.

either works, but I prefer the former. I own both. the later does videos, music AND photos. the former is easier to configure for remote access and always felt a little more reliable...but ONLY streams video.
they're cheap, why not get both.
Is there something better than Reeder? I hate that it doesn't have any functionality to mark as read as you scroll or to to mark all articles older than this one as read.
Some of my feeds get big and I can't read through all the headlines in one go. If I back out of a feed and go back in, it makes me start at the beginning again.

Way better for following conversations and for muting annoying bullshit.
Sold! I made the mistake of following my 14 year old cousin and good grief a muting feature would be great.
Also WAYYYY easier to switch lists (if you use them) and read articles/links thanks to readability integration.

this is my personal opinion but I use it for content. I love tweetbot but only as a UI but I am also comfortable with twitter.com for content consumption

River of News or something similar does that mark as read while scrolling.
I contacted the developer behind Newsify and he said that he will be adding the scroll to mark as read feature in the next update which will hit in the next couple of weeks.
Once it has that it will be fucking awesome. Like I told him, it combines the elegance of the shitty Flipboard with the utility of the ugly Feedler Pro.
I've been using Feedler Pro for like three years now, looking forward to using something a bit prettier.
New Reeder update out that finally brings back the previous behavior where the navigation bar stays fixed when scrolling. As much as I liked the gestures to go back to the article list, it sometimes wouldn't register properly because I did it at an angle.
Here's a screen where I'm scrolled down in an article but the top navigation bar is still accessible. No longer need to scroll back up to hit the Readability button now too.
There's also fixes for those of you having trouble with Fever.

Didn't fix Fever for me. reeder still just says syncing and never loads new posts with Fever

Fresh install and a hard reset. I dunno.
At least the bold part is possible since the last big update: In the feed list, put two fingers on an entry and drag them up or down to mark as read all articles above or below, respectively.

this podcast app from apple is either shit or I just cant get it figured out..
- it wont sync with iTunes on my mac.
- it wont sync with music on my iOS device (ie if i listen to a podcast there it wont show up as listened to in the podcast app
- it cant be controlled by siri
.. what am i missing here, it seems like absolutely no advantage over using the traditional method.
and a question if i turn on automatic download for a podcast will it only do it via wifi or where ever whenever it pleases? - i would prefer only wifi in order not to overly stress my bandwidth

Apple's podcast app is shit. if it weren't made by Apple it'd be ridiculed far and wide for not adhering to Cupertino's UX guidelines and for its general shittyness.
Downcast and Instacast are still the best of the best. even Android-UI-ish Tunein Radio handles podcasts better.

Now this isn't great, but I've noticed iOS 6 allows for flagged folders to come up as a new folder within mail.app
Not great, but a stop gap

Is there an app that is a combined social media viewer, I tried Streamified but that was quite slow and kept crashing.
Is it any better on the 4S?

it's ok, but still a bit slow. Just spend the extra dough on downcast.
Downcast master race checking in, friendo.
I try every new thing that comes down the line and nothing is close to downcast.

Can I somehow use iTunes without having to use iTunes? Is there an app that lets me view more than three words in a title, subscribe, queue and find stuff through iTunes easily? Can't believe how shitty iTunes is.

Wow had no idea. Thanks, this should make Reeder a lot more usable for me now.
Is there a PDF reader which syncs the current page with an associated Mac app?
I'm gonna read some programming books within the next days. I'd like to read them on my iPad, but if there's sample source code to try out it would be nice if I could just open a OS X PDF reader showing the same page so I can copy it.

Sorry if this has been answered numerous times but what's the best podcast app?
Apple's is probably the buggiest POS app I've ever used.

Downcast. Best $2 you can spend that isn't Tweetbot.

Downcast or Pocket Casts or Instacast.
Currently downcast.
I used to like and use (the original, not Apples [they stole the name]) Podcaster app but it got a bug that made it not delete played podcasts.
Instacast is ok but the interface is bad.

Just piling on at this point, I tried Apple's podcast app for a week, and have since switched back to Downcast.
In addition to all the previously mentioned shortcomings of the Apple app, I found that I really missed the gesture controls to rewind or skip ahead.

Considering Apple make some fantastic hardware and software, their apps pretty much suck, don't they?

Are all pretty shocking...
GameCenter, Camera, Photos, Maps etc are so so... but generally, I don't understand how they manage to get it so wrong so often, and seemingly make little to no effort to improve them
