    1. make a widget for android

      Many people that use twitter on android don't bother with opening an app; they use a home-screen widget. Please create one!

      Multiple sizes would be best; I would LOVE to use a complete sliding homescreen for a twitter widget. (In android parlance, this is a 4x4 widget on the G1).

      • Automatically sync tabs with hootsuite web dashboard

        Right now you can import your hootsuite web dashboard tabs and settings after setting up the Android app for the first time, but if you change something in your tabs or add new ones it doesn't seem to sync this with the web dashboard and vice versa. It would be great if you guys could sync these settings at any time after changing something.

            Honeycomb has proven to be a bit of a dead end, but we’re looking closely at Ice Cream Sandwich. Some of this may be back-ported to Honeycomb.

          • Longpressing a tweet gives access to a menu with all functions to choose from.

            I would like to get access to all functions (RT, DM, follow, unfollow, friends, followers, blocking, settings, GPS on/off, ...) by longpresing on a tweet. Longpressing should show a screen/menu with these options too choose from by a tick.

            • add a "Jump to top" button

              because it is a nasty thing to scroll to the top of the list manually again and again

                • Offer a dark theme in the Android app similar to the one on the web.

                  Blue is nice but dark is better, at least for some people.

                  • Android version needs option to NOT run at system startup.

                    I see that it is running as a background process when I restart my device. This should be optional.

                      The app currently runs as a service. We’re looking into adding options to better manage this.

                    • Add Ping.fm integration

                      As on the web version.

                      • Color code @mentions and your own tweets

                        I would be great to be able to do a quick skim of your main messages and see a separate background color for @mentions of you and another color for your own tweets. Offsetting your picture is a help, but it still needs to stand out faster.

                        • Adjustable font size in streams

                          I have a large, beautiful, hi-res display on my EVO, but I can see only about five Tweets at a time. Would love a choice of font sizes so that I could make mine teeny-weeny tiny.

                              If many Android twitter apps can do this, your web and android apps should as well.

                                It would be very useful to be able to post video via the Hootsuite for Android.

                                    We don’t have any immediate plans for this feature, but if there continues to be interest we will consider this at a later date.

                                    faster refresh rate like 1min intervals

                                    • Remove "The owl doesn't sleep" service.

                                      The hoot suite service constantly runs in the background and needs an option to disable it.

                                        • update the timeline automatically in the bg

                                          Make sure that the timeline stays on time even if Hootsuite is not running in the foreground. The app is useless if it just tells us, that there is a gap in the message list...
