Twitter's sudden decision to ban third-party apps leaves developers begging customers not to demand their money back
The developer of third-party Twitter app Twitterrific is pleading with customers not to ask for a refund after the company was forced to pull its app.
A sudden change to Twitter’s policy means that third-party Twitter clients are now banned. Consequently, Twitterrific and other popular apps – such as Tweetbot, Echofon and Talon – have effectively been rendered useless overnight. “We are sorry to say that the app’s sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter – a Twitter that we no longer recognize as trustworthy nor want to work with any longer,” reads aThe Twitterrific app has been pulled from the iOS and Mac app stores, and ongoing subscriptions will be automatically cancelled.
“Finally, if you were subscriber to Twitterrific for iOS, we would ask you to please consider not requesting a refund from Apple,” the blog post reads. “The loss of ongoing, recurring revenue from Twitterrific is already going to hurt our business significantly, and any refunds will come directly out of our pockets – not Twitter’s and not Apple’s. To put it simply, thousands of refunds would be devastating to a small company like ours.”Problems with third-party Twitter apps began to emerge last week, when several such apps suddenly stopped working.
