TweetCaster is the #1 Twitter app for Android and the ONLY app with Search Party – revolutionizing Twitter search for everyone. TweetCaster boasts a bright & clean UI, lightning fast speed, and more features than any other Twitter app. No wonder millions of users have downloaded it worldwide! Optimized for both phones and tablets, TweetCaster is the perfect app, no matter what device you are using. TweetCaster Innovations: * Search Party – Searching among the millions of tweets on Twitter can be like finding a needle in a haystack. But with Search Party, you can narrow down your search! For example, just search someone’s timeline. Or mentions. Or favorites. It’s how Twitter search was meant to be! * SmartLists - Organize the chaos of your Twitter stream by grouping people into Lists, simply and easily (phones only) * Zip It – Zip annoying tweeters or Twitter trends from your timeline without unfollowing *Smart Filters – Display filtered views of your timeline that allow you to look only at tweets containing photos, links or videos (tablets only) Plus the most features: * Facebook – Simultaneously post to Twitter and Facebook * Multiple Twitter Accounts – Manage multiple Twitter accounts, post to both * Instapaper – Save long stories to Instapaper to read later * Color Code Tweets – Choose a custom color for your Tweets and mentions * Multiple widgets – Two different widgets allow you to bring TweetCaster to your home screen * Advanced Retweeting – Retweet with or without comment * Customization – Customize your visual theme, font size and notification frequency * Long Tweets – Use Twitlonger service to tweet over 140 characters * Replies and Conversation Threads – View all replies and conversations related to a tweet * Who to Follow – Suggests people to follow Editorial Reviews: “Excellent Twitter client.” – TUAW “Contender for best Twitter app. 5/5 bars.” – Appolicious “Nicely designed… Colorful but clean.” – CNET

Accessibility Rating:
4 - The app is basically accessible, though there are some minor improvements that would make it more usable

Most of the controls can be accessed

Some buttons, edit boxes, and controls are labeled
User comments:
The one problem I have with this app, apart from the unlabeled controls, is that long pressing on a tweet opens the same menu as selecting it. It may be that the two menus have recently been merged or that it doesn't work correctly on my phone. If that's the case I'm missing two useful options: Block User and Report As Spam. I would think these options are available in this client, but as usual, please correct me if I'm wrong.

2 - The app can be used with practice, but there are many accessibility issues

Few or no buttons, edit boxes, or controls are labeled
User comments:
I'm rating this higher than my experience merits simply because the other review indicates that I may be missing something or it may be that my combination of Mobile Accessibility and Samsung Epic doesn't work as well as something else might. i was not able to use the app. once installed, I could not get to all of the icons and using enter to select them didn't do anything. i had to touch with my finger. I never found the timeline at all. I uninstalled the app. So, the best advice i can give is try it and see what happens.

The timelines are easy to navigate. There are some radio buttons at the top. First one is timeline, second one is mentions, third one is DMs. I haven't checked the others, but the first three are all you need. To get to the radio buttons quickly, press the menu button and select "Jump To Top." To post a tweet, just go to the top over the radio buttons to the normal buttons, and press the second one from the left. Then arrow around until you find the edit box and start typing, then find the send button. To reply to a tweet, retweet a tweet, or for more options, press enter on the tweet you are currently looking at. For even more options, longpress the tweet. I like this app because it doesn't slow down your phone like Seesmic.
