The updated version of the official Twitter app has just been released on the App store. Available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, version 3.3 features a number of improvements all around, including a cleaned-up design, location-based trends and a new Quick Bar that lets you cycle through trends without leaving the timeline. Word of warning though, while some people like the “cleaner” layout, a lot found the quick bar a bit obtrusive. Do you need to know more? It’s free, and if you regularly tweet, you probably already updated. If you’ve been ignoring your app update notifications, the link and full change log for version 3.3 is available after the break.
