Review: Gravity – Twitter App For S60

Mobileways released Gravity on Monday and I’ve been using it on the Nokia 5800. One of the most common questions I find on Twitter from people who mention Nokia, is what app to use for Twitter? Look no further because here it is. Gravity is an app you can download and install on your phone, however there are mobile sites accessible through the browser like Dabr that offer the same features. What’s the difference? Gravity looks pretty.

Features

One thing I noticed immediately on Gravity is the scrolling. Mobileways need to give Nokia some lessons how to implement this throughout the phone because it works great! You can go down the list slowly or flick to go faster.

You can view your friends’ tweets, replies, direct messages, and favourites, follow, unfollow. All these features are also auto-updated, so no need for a refresh button.

Another useful section includes the multiple Search tabs. You can choose to follow certain keywords on Twitter.

Gravity also lets you send existing photos from the phone to TwitPic, but I recommend doing that with Shozu’s one-click instead. Nevertheless, it’s good to have that option.

The Good

A lot of people are looking for a good Twitter App and I think this is the answer. The interface looks great and it includes most if not all the features available found on a desktop app for Twitter.

The Bad

Gravity closes randomly at many times. It’s really quick to re-open the application, but it gets annoying after a while.

Leaving this application on for too long will drain your battery fast. My Nokia 5800′s battery was full in the morning, but gave me a low battery warning by 2PM. I usually see the warning at night after my typical usage.

Yay or Nay?

Let us know how Gravity is doing on your Nokia phone. Do you like it?
