Seesmic Twitter App for Android Needs a Bit More Baking

I’m a big fan of Seesmic’s twhirl. I don’t like Seesmic Desktop at all. If you have a BlackBerry or Android phone, you can try out yet another Seesmic Twitter app…

Seesmic for Blackberry and Android

…for your tweeting needs. I don’t own a BlackBerry device but I do have a Droid and installed Seesmic on it. Seesmic for Android seems unfinished. Here’s why:

1. It doesn’t seem to have a way to exit the the app. This is important on a multi-tasking platform. I want to be able to cleanly exit it without having to perform a Force Stop from Android’s app management window. The alternative Twidroid Twitter app is able to perform a clean exit from the app.

2. If I sign out of the app, it doesn’t remember my Twitter name forcing me to type in everything again for a second session.

3. The app doesn’t seem to support more than a single Twitter account. This is important to me since I would like to be able to work with both my personal Twitter account (@toddogasawara) as well as the Twitter account for this blog (@mobilecontent)

There are other app issues too like requring a long press on a tweet to retweet it (this is not intuitive).
