Still buggy. Also, somewhere in last months having more then 1 account requires the premium version, without any announcement?! This and more settings are only paid now. But it's totally impossible to find out what you have to pay for premium. If I try to buy, I have to agree without seeing the actual costs. Really weird, don't understand why Play Store is allowing this. Bad.

It could use some work to fix the hangs and freezes, not every tweet shows up on my timeline, but I would have taken Albatross over the excessive amount of garbage the official Twitter app is pushing with promoted tweets in followed threads. At least this application works compared to the rest of the ones I've tried or looked at. Unfortunately, I've had to uninstall the application as it doesn't recognize when NSFW images are marked as sensitive.

I like how its minimal. I dont like that it has lots of bugs. Uploading photos doesn't work, viewing tweet replies takes ages to load / gets stuck, and when it does load, it sometimes shows the parent tweet instead of the reply, which is very frustrating. I dont understand how these very basic features arent working.
