Twicca is a Twitter app for Android that’s loaded with features, such as support for Twitter lists, image-upload resizing, color-coded labels, sharing to other apps. Among other helpful functions, it offers reply history, reply auto-complete, saved searches, recent hashtags, quoted retweets, G location geotagging, notifications, Bit.ly link shortening, image previews. You can also use the app to edit your profile change your avatar image, you can adjust the font size in Settings.

One of Twicca’s most interesting features is its support for a wide variety of third-party plug-ins that add functionality. Some of my favorites include UR, a link shortener on steroids; Filckr, which helps you upload images to Flickr embed the link in a tweet; the Tumblr plugin for uploading media or other files to Tumblr embedding the link in a tweet, the Image Download ugin, which lets you download save images embedded in tweets.

Twicca is in many ways the best Twitter client I have tried, except for two shortcomings: It does not support multiple Twitter accounts or scheduled tweets. You may have no need for those features, however– if that’s the case, I highly recommend that you give Twicca a try.​

You might also like Mustard, a Twitter Identi.ca client app that supports multiple accounts, or HootSuite, which supports scheduled tweets.
