Falcon Pro's Timeline screen shows off ample-sized avatars and easy-to-read typeface. And along the top are counters for new tweets, mentions, and direct messages.

Profile

The User Profile screen in Falcon Pro displays Twitter avatars and header photos. And just like on the Web site, the overlaid text from bios and locations can sometimes get lost.

Compose your own

The Compose window makes it easy to attach photos or location tags. Unfortunately, though, there's no autocomplete function, which means you'll have to remember the Twitter handle of anyone you want to mention.
