Please report bugs via the crash dialogue or email aidan@boidapp.com. Also if you post logcat dialogues here, I will forward them to the Boid team.

Would look better if the background had the black ICS gradient (like in settings menu) with blue elements so it fits the looks of ice cream sandwich more.

Looks promising, I'll be sure to check this as soon as it goes stable. Now I'm on Twicca, which is already good, but if Boid would be better I'll consider switching.

I've never used Twicca. I'll try it out though.

A few of you will be happy to see that Boid will soon come in a new, dark theme!

Hooray! A dark theme! Now all I need is reply and ability to add media. Starting to look promising!

I don't develop this app, I just wanted to share it with everyone because I think its awesome.

I believe the icon is white because its still in the alpha stage. Once the full version is released, I'm sure it will be the standard Boid light-green.

Same here! I seriously need that feature to use it on a daily basis. It looks awesome, but please add this feature. Without the ability to open links and media a twitter client is very much useless. Please add it! :)

Completely agree. I still have to use the official Twitter app for my real tweet browsing. Can't wait till this is added.

    Yeah I preferred the text at the top of columns rather than the new icons. It looked a lot better and more ICS-like.

    They're going to give you the option to change back to text in the next update.

    I will look into the problems you guys are having. It's most likely something to do with the Market (for marcosius) or for barrist, it may be a internet problem. Any how, I've listed them in our private support document.

    If any of you have Twitter, you can tweet us to get support, one of us is on there most of the day :)

    Phil, Team Boid
