Today we are before the new victim of the token limit imposed by Twitter for third-party apps.
Talon for Twitter disappears from the Play Store for this reason having reached the limit of Tokens. The developer has made this decision so that no one can acquire it and find themselves with the limit of Tokens and the impossibility of being able to use it. Another interesting and well-created app that passes away due to the limits of Twitter, as happened to Falcon Pro by Joaquim Verges.
Following in the footsteps of Falcon Pro
There are many users who avoid the official Twitter app for Android relegating others like Falcon Pro or Tweet Lanes.
It is true that the official Twitter app has improved a lot on Android in the last year, but even so, many prefer to use other alternatives, which are usually more focused on the most important aspects of this social network of micro-messages than what Twitter itself usually does, more focused on its own news.
As happened to Falcon Pro, although it has more problems due to the tricks that its developer tried to carry out to continue having it in the Play Store, the developer of Talon for Twitter has decided to remove it from the Play Store to even make it open source.
From Falcon for Twitter to Talon Plus
The limit imposed by Twitter is 100 authorizations per application which has resulted in the end of Falcon as well as the aforementioned Falcon Pro.
To anticipate reaching the limit, Luke Klinker has been planning an evasion maneuver, and this same one is creating Talon Plus as a standalone app and separated from the original. It now has 100 Tokens ready to be acquired and a few months until at some point it reaches the key limit again. Although yes, it is for Android 5.0 Lollipop hence its new interface that you will see in the previous image.
Will I be able to continue using the removed version from the Play Store?
Still you will be able to access the app perfectly although new users will not be able to access it from the Play Store. And as long as you continue to have it active on your Twitter account, in the authorized apps section, Talon can be used on all your devices.
Klinker has said that will continue to update the original version of Talon so that it is on par with the release of the new version of Android 5.0 Lollipop.
For the others, there is the Plus version that will allow Klinker to continue developing its apps for Twitter. You have to thank him since other developers have stopped updating their apps when the client had reached the limit of Tokens. Although Falcon Pro continues to be updated from time to time by Joaquim Verges.
Fenix for Twitter, an alternative to Talon for Twitter
Un cool third-party Twitter client is Fenix for Twitter. Well full of options, it has a better interface than Talon and at the moment it is the best alternative available as an alternative to the official Twitter app.
Su speed and its well-kept and well-designed interface are its two biggest features, so if you find yourself lost in finding an unofficial Twitter client, Fenix for Twitter may be the one you need.
