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).

Great idea, and one we’ve got slated for a future update.

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.

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.

When hootsuite refreshes, it must keep my place in the timeline.
If many Android twitter apps can do this, your web and android apps should as well.

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.

Interact with Facebook as Page
The new Facebook Pages allows you to "like" other pages' posts and comment on them as your page, not just as your personal account. You can also view your page's "News Feed." For people who use Facebook Pages for businesses and such, this would be a great option.

Allow configurable notifications per Stream
At present, you can select "Notify when new messages" for each stream by long pressing on the stream on the edit streams page.
Please add the facility to customise notifications (LED on/off, Sound on/off, vibrate on/off) per channel. At present it always flashes the LED and makes a sound - I would require just the notification for the Home Feed. Other people might want different options.17 votes -

Make a way to display a unified feed for a tab
When I was setting up tabs, I was really expecting the various feeds I specified to be merged together. I created one for my newsfeeds on Twitter/Facebook and another for my Twitter direct messages.
Instead, they just seem to be ways of organizing separate feeds - there's no way to merge feeds that I could find.
Coming from Tweetdeck for Android where a unified feed was standard. To me, the whole point of using a single program for FB and Twitter and other networks is to integrate them - if I still have to change views, I might as well… more
