For the most part, these clients were introduced because of the amount of adware, spyware, and untrustworthy software found in the official clients.
Animated GIFs don't display in most Twitter apps, including the official clients for iPhone, Android, and Mac OS.
Apparently most users just use Twitter's official clients and supposedly will never notice if Twitter bans most third party clients.
Instead, following a small update in 2012, its features have slowly disappeared or failed to keep up with those on Twitter's official clients.
People whose phones don't have official clients, for instance, or who can't upgrade to the latest version of an OS, and must access via the web.
This should give some comfort to heavy Tweetbot users who prefer this app over official clients, especially given Twitter's ending of support for its Mac desktop client, announced earlier this year, with the intention of pushing desktop users to the web.
It got a small update in late 2012, but since then has seen features slowly disappear or fail to keep pace with features that were added to Twitter's official clients.
It's not there yet though, with its current focus being on sharing not buying individual articles, and only a handful of U.K. newspapers are supported by its system so far (namely: The Times, Independent, Metro, The Guardian, the London Evening Standard and City AM — not all of whom are official clients of Peekster).
