My Review 

LOVE this app. It takes Twitter feeds (your own and others from featured sources or those you specify) and creates little mini-magazine layouts that you can flip through, with pictures and more. Tap an 'article' to read more, see any related conversations, and click through to any referenced links from right in the app. Does Facebook too (I actually look at my personal Facebook page more with this than I ever do in my browser). You can reply and retweet any item too. The only thing it doesn't do (as far as I can see) is let you tweet new tweets from within it (retweets/replies only). But it's free and it provides a much more interesting visual format for tweets.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
