Twitter Lite app review

Originally, the app only had basic features such as tweeting and a basic menu. However, the developer rewrote the whole code and included most features that you can find in the regular Twitter app. That is why, more people are downloading this app since it’s less storage hog than the regular one.

This includes features such as data saver and night mode. This lite version already has a data saver embedded in the code, but activating the feature will help you keep the data usage low. It is very handy when you have a limited internet quota.

However, the lite version is a wrapper from the Chrome web app, so it may accumulate a cache when you spend so much time in the app. The video player also isn’t as responsive as in the native app. Several users also complain about the lack of responsiveness and minor bugs in the app.

The app size is less than 3MB
It offers data saver options where you can choose which image and video to load
The app is for older phone models with 2G and 3G networks.
It has most regular Twitter app features
The app is based on the Chrome web app thus it may act like a regular webpage.
