TweakDeck
100,000 - 500,000 downloads
Pros
- New iconography and theme color
- Galaxy Nexus support
- Optimization
Cons
- It drains bit more battery than the original Tweetdeck
It must be said though that this app isn't affiliated with either Tweetdeck nor Twitter. It's an independent Twitter client that is based on Tweetdeck interface and appearance.
However, its developer, Modaco, wanted to enhance the original Tweetdeck app in some regards. First we've noticed is the new iconography: the icon is blue as well as the unread bar and the highlights, just like the Chrome version looks like. It includes deck.ly (same as original Tweetdeck). What has been fixed is the bug with t.co URLs and the Galaxy Nexus support. Modaco says that it was also optimised and compressed for a better performance. We've noticed that the app runs smoothly, it takes shorter to load the Time Line. The only catch is that it seems that it drains a bit more battery than the original (1%-3% more, not really important.)
We recommend you to give it a go if you are already using Tweetdeck. Test it a couple of days and check by yourself if the improvements are worth enough for you.

Lightweight, fast and simple. Best Twitter app available and potentially one of the better Facebook apps. Facebook support could be better but is nothing to be laughed at either. If you use both Twitter and Facebook take a look at this app. If using jus
