Tweetbot, as you may probably know, is a massively popular Twitter client for iOS and Mac. Going by latest reports, on viewing a video in full screen/landscape mode, as soon as the video ends, the app tends to freeze and doesn’t allow users to jump back to the homescreen or timeline. Killing or force closing the app is the only way out.

A quick glance at the following selection of tweets will give you more clarity:

If you are also facing the above stated issue, then worry not. This problem – which reportedly plagues the app’s current version 5.0.5 – is being looked into and should be fixed in the next update. Here’s the official confirmation that came through Twitter:

Currently, I am pursuing Ph.D (Psychology), and have been teaching the same for past four years. Coming to PiunikaWeb, I know it was a complete switch over, but the idea was appealing enough to put in all the effort it called for. My work primarily involves research.
