Using the Twitter app on Android? Today, your microblogging app is sporting a new look, no matter where you reside in the world. The new Twitter for Android has taken user feedback to enhance the user design and to simplify the user experience. As seen below, the design has swipe functionality to move between screens, such your Home timeline, Notifications and Direct Messages. Users can also access the Navigation menu which slides from the left side to give them easy access to their profile, Highlights, lists, to connect with friends and to access Settings or Help. A round floating button remains on the bottom right hand side of the screen so that users can easily tweet at their convenience.
There’s more where that came from, too. When you use the app, you’ll discover that Direct Messages are given a new perhaps more appropriate name, “Talk privately” as discovered by Louis Gray (and which has apparently been something iOS has had for awhile):

The initial sentiment is that the new design looks cleaner and more white, which is also an adjustment to some. But lists are now being supported, which is something that users have wanted forever and are embracing with open arms. Overall, the update has gotten relatively good reception among Twitter users, with one so far showing his enthusiasm in one appropriate animated GIF:
