Hey! I'm one of the developers who worked on this project (the other being @JaredTMoskowitz). We made this at a Hackathon quite a while ago and decided to ship it. Our next steps are trying to use the unfollowing information to eventually recommend twitter accounts we think you'll like. We're also currently building a Facebook version for unfollowing old fb friends. To address the iOS 8 question, we built most of the code base in the first 24 hours, so it was hard to know what exactly we would end up with. Thanks for addressing this, we unfortunately forgot to reevaluate that decision! Happy unfollowing!

Since @cwrichardkim is super modest, I'll just go ahead and post the link to one of his Github repos for making a card-based iOS app. Helped me get off the ground- I appreciate it and I love the application of the cards in this app https://github.com/cwRichardKim/...

Automatic Selfie App

That might be useful tool for traditional twitter account reach building strategy (follow a lot, unfollow later, repeat). Was that the genesis of this product? Awww crap. iOS 8 is required and I'm still on 7.x

@grzaks Honestly, it started mostly as a joke to make fun of the whole "my twitter ratio is higher than your twitter ratio" culture. Of course, the roots of that phenomenon come from what you're talking about

This looks very cool, but curious why it's iOS 8 only. Which iOS 8 specific functionality do you need for the app to work?

@forestmars Just addressed this in my post, it was basically poor planning on our part

I really like the fact that you see a few of their most recent tweets gives you an idea if that person is offering any true value. The design is really clean. One question, does the app tell you which people are following you back? When I was using the app I didn't see an indicator.

@lipmanb Thanks! Funny, we just had a few other people suggest that so we'll build it into the next version

Whoa. Looks like another paid app with the same idea and even the same name launched five days before this one launched. This app - Jan 16. Twindr - Clean Up Your Twitter Feed by Ruben Martinez (paid and January 11) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

@objective_b yup! we contacted him because we thought he ran with our idea. We built this in a hackathon in october, shelved it for a few weeks, then picked it up again. Turns out he built it completely independently and just happened to release it at the same time. Not surprising though, it seems quite a few people in this thread have had a similar idea

Nice, I made something similar a while ago: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/... ... less cool though. I'm going to give this a try!

It keeps crashing on my iPhone 4S, but I'll definitely try it again later this week - I love the idea, it's something I've been needing for a while!

@abracarioca this is a known issue, and we think we've found it. Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait until the next update for it to be usable for you =/ I'll respond here when it's up and running!

@abracarioca We may or may not have fixed the issue: https://appsto.re/us/7S_U3.i we unfortunately weren't able to replicated it so it's just been a bunch of guess work.
