Twitter ditches controversial QuickBar from iOS client

Software

Oh QuickBar, we hardly knew ye. Just one month after its debut, Twitter has remove the controversial feature from its iOS client. “Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today,” reads a post on the company’s official blog. “For now, we’re going back to the drawing board to explore the best possible experience for in-app notification and discovery.” If you’re just itching to get rid of the that pesky bar, the update is waiting for you in the App Store.

    The bar sorta grew up on me but I’m glad it’s gone. They need to put back tweet/URL shortening capabilities though.

    I love an app-maker listening to feedback like this; wish it would happen more often.

    To be clear, no one but Twitter called it the “Quickbar”. We all called it the “Dick bar”. Their CEO knows why.
    Yeah, Where the hell is the URL shortener? Who releases a social media software update and takes away a sharing feature? Duh. Clearly the founders are all out playing golf.
