- Because we can't have nice things: As of January 13 some third-party Twitter apps like Tweetbot, Twitpane and Twitterific appear to be experiencing an outage.
- Developers haven’t received any communication from the company about whether the issue is caused by a bug or something else.
- Some speculate that this may be a move from local man to shut down third-party clients altogether, however other apps (like Fenix 2 or Albatross) are still working.
- No statement from Twitter or local man himself yet.
Tweetbot and other clients are experiencing problems logging in to Twitter. We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details, but haven’t heard back.
We’re hoping this is just a temporary glitch and will let you know more as soon as we know more.

We’re aware that Twitterrific is having problems communicating with Twitter. We don’t yet know what the root cause is, but we’re trying to find out. Please stay tuned and apologies.

These apps suspended suddenly by Twitter.
I wanna know why the app is not working. https://t.co/7SOUmaTIys
