A (discontinued) Twitter client built on modern a Windows interface with unlimited scrolling.
MetroTwit is a small and now discontinued Twitter client for Windows. It was available as both a Windows 8 Metro app and a Windows desktop client, but has since been removed from the Windows store.
The program is effectively a Windows-based Twitter client which accesses Twitter with an API. Unfortunately due to access limits imposed by Twitter, the developers of MetroTwit discontinued it. With that said, the current version still works and provides a way to interact with Twitter without having to use their web site.
Entering tweets with MetroTwit is pretty simple and like regular Twitter, is limited to 140 characters. You may also use MetroTwit to manage and tweet from multiple Twitter accounts.
The layout of MetroTwit is an interesting one and it fits with other modern Windows apps. Text is clear and readable. The icon scheme follows that of other Windows 8 apps.
All-in-all, the application can be useful and is very easy-to-use.
