Cons: Works well only with Twitter

With a very cartoony look and feel, is an excellent app for Twitter fanatics. Tweetcaster comes in a free version and a $5 Pro version. Though the two editions perform the same, the Pro version omits a small, annoying ad at the bottom of the Newsfeed. If you use the free version, you can manually close the ad or pay to upgrade to the non-ad-supported version.

One of the best features of Tweetcaster is its ability to “zip” tweets. Zipping tweets allows you to hide the tweets of specific people, without having to unfollow them. I use this feature a ton whenever a friend begins tweeting like a madman and floods my feed; instead of unfollowing him, I just zip his tweets until the storm subsides.

Tweetcaster supports making updates to Facebook--but in order to connect your Facebook account to Tweetcaster, you must first add a Twitter account, compose a tweet, and then tap the Facebook icon that appears, thereby signing in. A little odd, but at least the option exists for anyone who wants it.
