The people have spoken, new Twitter app sucks!

After 24 hours of being on the App Store, the 5.0 update to the iPhone and iPad Twitter app has received many complaints. Mostly that Twitter now makes the iPad look like a giant iPhone.

The main offense people are having is that it does indeed look like a giant iPhone app. The panels are removed so you can't view your Twitter feed and a specific linked website anymore. And the ability to (obviously) quickly switch accounts is also removed (it's still there, just not obvious). Now the obvious method requires 3-4 taps, the more direct route is not obvious at all and it's as simple as holding down the "Me" button until the account switcher pops up. But this is not at all as convenient or obvious as it was in the old version of Twitter for iPad.
