I've been experimenting with blaq on the playbook and find the app sluggish and a bit bloated (chews up lots of RAM). I'm now testing the official twitter android client (3.2.2) and find it to be much lighter and crisper. In fact, I find I'm using more and more android apps now that 2.1 has eliminated the single window lock up issues.
Question: What other twitter apps should I be checking for basic tweeting on the PB?

rkennedy01,
Dev for Blaq, here. Android apps (puzzled as to why RIM did this) have a leg up on AIR apps, so the memory usage *could* be better.
I've been working on getting the memory usage down to more reasonable levels. You should notice an increase in scrolling performance in the next update but I won't be pushing the update out until it's ready to go.

Hope you understand.
Indeed. And it's a shame because, visually, your app is quite stunning - though I'd recommend more readily available documentation since I had to Google just to figure out how to shorten a url automatically (space after it).
Again, if you can put it on a diet and make it a bit smoother to operate you'll have a winner. Here's hoping RIM can do something to accommodate you (perhaps by improving AIR app performance) in this regard. If not, maybe it's time to think Cascades?

I like the Blackbird app for tweeting.

I'm using Blackbird right now simply because Blaq does not refresh realtime. Hope the dev fixes that.

The app does refresh in real-time. It's the only one in App World that does. If it isn't, tap the real-time indicator on the bottom until its glowing (but only do it once per every few seconds until it comes on).

Cascades won't be ready for PlayBook for a while (after BlackBerry 10 smartphones). So, I have to make due with what I have.
From yesterday Blaq doesn't load the feed for me anymore, I've already tried all the possible actions including re-installing the app
Twitter is having issues on their end which is preventing the home timeline from loading. They're working to resolve the issue and the (supposed) ETA is "later today".
This issue is affecting other Twitter clients, as well.

Experienced the same issue.. OAuth (twitter's side) didn't worked anymore for everyone
Blaq is, IMO, the best Twitter app for the PB. The real-time works well (and I LOVE the glowing WHITE LED alert when there's a new tweet). Only additional feature I'd like is a "Nearby me" function, a la Wikitude or UberSocial.

Real time does not work on my PB eversince How often does it check for new tweets?
