Will you be including the option to retweet with a comment in yr next update? Vital when retweeting tweets looking for referrals or similar. I would be using Hootsuite as my app of choice if it had this feature.

How do I track my stats? Every time I click on the stats button, a screen comes up saying to track my stats I need to use the link shortener. I don't really understand why this is necessary. Please help, thanx.

Hi, I'll be not same as Landscape browsing mode as preview on this page image style. (e.g.: "Streams" tab column, Feed and mentions from left to right.)

Previous version has like my image because uses iPad portlate mode are sometimes. Mainly uses Landscape mode and I'm not a lot of contents column on a single screen (like my two accounts timeline as single tab).

Have you unlock 3 columns landscape view and integrate "Streams" tab column into screen when iPad is landscape mode.

My desktop is grouping some timeline, mentions and so on in two columns view because another contents are not importants.

Repeatly, have you back to previous version hootsuite GUI for iPad?

Thanks,

I like the app but I wish I could get notifications sent to my iPhone also I wish you could turn off the setting when it tells you how many new messages you have it gets in the way but notifications is the biggest issue I have.

Cool stuff!

Have you guys worked out how to keep your Android app from constantly running on my phone? Other apps only start and stop when it's time to sync data, at whichever interval I choose. Hootsuite runs ALL THE TIME, on my phone, even if I have it set to just sync every 2 hours.

Thanks!
