Everyone is raving about Twinkle, Twittelator and Twitterific for iPhone but I have uninstalled all of them. I try every Twitter app for iPhone and quickly remove them after poking around their interface for a few minutes. Each of these are crippled by the lack of features and Apple’s stance on not allowing background apps also makes it hard.

I have used PocketTweets for the longest time but it was buggy and slow. Lately, it’s been all about Hahlo. Hahlo is a web-app for iPhone. Here’s the advantages of Hahlo.

1. It’s always running. When I open Safari, Hahlo is exactly where I left it and hitting “refresh” shows me all of the latest tweets.
2. It supports deletion of tweets. No one else does this.
3. I can search Twitter (formally summize) right from Hahlo.
4. I can see all of my followers and people I’m following as a list or grid of their avatars and search that list.
5. I can see replies and direct messages to me and respond to them.
6. Click on a user’s name and you can see their tweets / profile.
7. The interface is dynamic and loading of various pags is inline with no complete reload of the page.
8. Hahlo tells me when Twitter is at fault. If Twitter is down, Hahlo tells me.
9. It works on your computer’s browser! Open up your browser and try it out. It works seamlessly.

I love this application for iPhone and nothing can beat it. I challenge every iPhone developer to step up and kick Hahlo’s ass. I’ll pay $9.99 for an iPhone client can do what Hahlo does.
