iOS App of the Day: Twizgrid
So you’re a self-proclaimed Twitter maniac but wish there was a way to only see the photos people tweet? Well now you can do just that thanks to a brand new app. Twizgrid for iOS allows you to view Twitter in a uniquely different perspective. Instead of simply displaying a feed of tweets, the Twizgrid app showcases only the photos people have tweeted in a sleek grid-like designed layout. The app also offers up specific search options including geolocation, keyword, or hashtag. These search options allow you to actually discover interesting photos based on your passions or simply a geolocation you’re curious about.

How it works:
Twizgrid allows you the option to either view an assorted collection of photos from the entire Twitter site, or you can filter your own specific search down by the category. You also have the option to just look at the photos of the people you are following or just the photos of your set of followers. What’s cool is that if you are just looking for photos taken in a specific geographic location, you can filter out the images that way too. Twizgrid can access your specific location and present you with photos taken in your local area, or you can select a place on Google Maps and view photos within a mile from your chosen location. Criteria search is a great way to look up pictures of whatever it is you are interested in at that moment. You can search for pictures of wooden iPhone cases, bedazzled shoes, or sushi. Whatever you can snap a photo of and tweet, Twizgrid will let you search for it and find just that.
