After promising Windows 8 users that a native app was on the way, Twitter has finally delivered. Twitter for Windows 8 has just hit the Windows Store<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Twitter first announced<\/a> that they were working on an app for Windows 8 back in October 2012, saying that Windows 8 “needs a great Twitter app.” Twitter, who is all about user consistency and uniform experience, simply couldn’t let the Windows 8 experience on Twitter be controlled by a handful of third-party apps. <\/p>\n

Twitter for Windows 8 features many of the things that will make it familiar to Twitter users (of any kind), like the home, connect, discover, and me tabs. But it also sports some app-specific features that makes it a truly Windows 8 experience. For instance, the app has a snap view, which lets users adjust the size of the app and run other apps beside it. <\/p>\n

The app also has landscape view for photos and two new charms, share and search, which let users tweet and search from any app, respectively. <\/p>\n

And as you might expect, there are also Twitter live tiles and notifications which will display no matter which app is running at the time. <\/p>\n
