The Good:

La Twit is a very good aplication for the iPhone, packed with useful features. Ease of use is primary with La Twit. It even has a transparent post box so you can view prior posts while composing one.

The Not-so-Good:

Of course, we always want every app to do everything for us, and complain bitterly when it fails. La Twit has bitten off a lot, and some of the features (although all useful) take a while to get used to on the iPhone. Support contact is only via “form” (as opposed to phone or email), and we aren’t sure about the turn-around time.
