I have used both but I like tweetbot a lot better. It's easier to use and very customizable. I adore the iPad version too. IMO it's one of the best twitter apps out there.

In my opinion, Tweetbot is to iPhone what ÜberTwitter was to Blackberry.

I like both for iPhone and iPad, but love Tweetbot more. The triple tap to reply is one of my favorite things about it.

I'm using the official app. I've considered Tweetbot, but I absolutely cannot stand the icon and that alone has been enough to keep me away. (I could theme it, yes, but...)

A question for you Tweetbot users: how well do third party Twitter apps tie in with iOS 5 integration? Can you still use all the usual built-in tweeting functions from bookmark menus, etc, with Tweetbot?

I keep seeing everyone choose Tweetbot which I agree with but if I was a normal user and not a power user, I'd choose the official Twitter app. Just depends on what type of user you are.

I really like Tweetbot, BUT, I can't stand it when it fails to post a tweet. And, it always seems to be when I'm trying to post a photo!
