Yatca Twitter App For BlackBerry Updated With Favourites, Geotagged Photos, Pause And More!

The free Yatca (Yet Another Twitter Client App) for BlackBerry has been updated to version 1.7.1. It’s been a while since this app was last updated, so I’m sure all you Yatca fans will be happy!

Warning: This release will erase all your previously saved settings and you will have to set everything up again.

That being said, here is what is included in this update:

• The most useful new feature is the ability to mark/unmark a favourite. This means for example that you can flag any items you need to come back to when you’re back at your computer. To mark something as a favourite simply click the button or use the ‘v’ shortcut.
• Geotagged photo uploads. This is disabled by default for your privacy and security. If you want to enable it go to Yatca Options and set ‘Use geotagging’ to ‘Yes’. Note that geotagging will increase your power consumption which will run down your battery a little bit quicker. Note also that on device models which default to obtaining ‘assisted fixes’ you may incur additional carrier charges.
• Changed the default image storage service for Yatca to TweetPhoto.
• The ability to pause/resume Yatca refresh finally sees the light of day in this release. Users have been asking for this for a long time. When you’re at your computer and using some ultra-slick desktop Twitter client you don’t want to be getting the same 147 tweets to your BlackBerry too. So just invoke the ‘Pause Yatca Refresh’ command. Then when you leave your computer invoke the ‘Resume Yatca Refresh’. Too easy. Note that the resume is from ‘now’, i.e. the exact instant you resume.
• Twitter recently introduced the concept of verified accounts for famous athletes, entertainers, politicians, etc. Yatca displays a little white tick on a blue background next to the name of any verified account. Note that they are still working on this feature so if you suddenly stop seeing the little tick next to somebody who previous had one you’ll know why.
• Other tweaks and minor improvements…
