HootSuite is finally flying its way over to Android to drop off its mobile version for all to enjoy. This Twitter client comes in two flavors: Lite and Regular, and will offer some features not common to mobile clients.
For starters, the lite client will allow you to use up to three accounts at once. Also, you can arrange different streams for different accounts and set them up in tabs. To navigate through the tabs, simply swipe back and forth across the screen. Sounds pretty convenient, right? Well, it gets better. On this version you can even schedule tweets for the future (that’s right, I brought up THE future). In order to do this, you’ll need a HootSuite account, but those are free, so it’s no biggie.
This app will also feature an in-app browser, list support, and the ability to view a conversation when you can’t tell what someone is responding to (I use this all the time guys, it’s so handy!). Additionally, HootSuite for Android will allow you to open links from Twitter emails in the HootSuite browser. This is for when you get a new follower, instead of their username in the email linking you to the phone’s browser, it will link you to the Twitter client.
So what’s the drawback to the lite version? Simple: ads. But that’s where the regular version serves as a remedy. The regular version of the app will display no ads, allow more than three accounts signed on at once, as well as some interesting stats. These stats will include clicks per day, total clicks, and the like. A little owl told us this app should be available in the Android Market starting tomorrow.
