If there’s one social network that’s certainly not short of third party applications, it’s Twitter. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, given that unofficial Twitter clients are effectively limited to a maximum of 100,000 users. While that might sound like a huge number, if you consider the size of Twitter’s user base and just how quickly a well made application can reach a high number of downloads these days, it’s really not.

Fenix by XDA Forum Member swanz86 is a simple yet effective Twitter client that (despite still being a very early beta offering) provides a clean and efficient third party option for keeping track of your timeline. Some of the application’s current features include:

Clickable links in timeline

Inline preview of images and YouTube videos

Two styles of inline media preview – small and big

The usual dark and light themes

Dedicated tablet layout

Quick access to lists and saved searches from the app left drawer

Optional internal web browser

Multiple accounts support

As already mentioned, this is a very early version of the application and the developer intends to keep adding functionality through future updates. For those who cannot seem to settle on a particular Twitter app, this is definitely worth checking out. Perhaps this will be the one to fill the TweetDeck-shaped hole in my heart.

Fenix is available from the application thread and runs on devices sporting Android 4.0 or above.
