Chances are you're using one of X's (formerly Twitter's) own mobile apps for your iOS, Android, or Windows Phone. But is it the best mobile X app out there? There are plenty of third-party apps out there that offer different layouts and features, all of which may or may not be useful to you depending on how you plan to use the social media platform. Check out the following mobile X app alternatives to see how you can take your tweeting to the next level when you're on the go.

Tweetbot is one of the most highly rated and popular mobile X apps out there. The interface simplifies almost every function, even allowing you to create multiple timelines and easily switch between viewing each timeline. You can customize your navigation and take advantage of the smart gestures for even easier functionality.

It's not free and a bit more expensive than your average app, but it's definitely worth it.

For X power users running on Android, Plume is a great option. It’s fast and has an excellent refresh rate, with the ability to support multiple X accounts. You can make it look and perform exactly the way you want with robust customization options, including the ability to change tweet colors, hide avatars, or switch between themes.
