Micro blogging social network Twitter has been growing in size over the last few years and this has seen the use of the site move more onto smartphones and tablets, with users being able to quickly communicate with their followers no matter where they are. Today we have news of the Twitterrific 5 iOS Twitter app that comes at a discounted price for a limited time.

The application is now available via the Apple App Store and the new version provides users with a new user interface that has been re-built from the ground up. Users have the option of modifying the style of the app to suit their own needs that includes text sizes, colours, and fonts that can all be altered to suit the user.

Avatars can even be removed and the app can automatically switch between light and dark themes for nightime and daytime. Users can easily switch between accounts and view in-app notifications about tweets, and simply pull to refresh. There is also added support for VoiceOver and if you are the owner of an iPad using the application you get a pinnable sidebar, and the app can be easily time-synced to the iCloud service.

The app will even automatically translate any tweets you receive in a foreign language to whatever your default language is, and the developer, The Iconfactory, is offering iOS users a limited time offer of a fifty percent discount to celebrate the launch, which brings the cost down to £1.99/$2.99.
