Google Play Store has hundreds of Twitter apps. Some are very popular with a great design and performance, but most other Twitter apps available do not have a good design or are very slow and have bugs. Since Google introduced Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) most recently, Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), we have seen a sudden increase in holo-themed Twitter apps for Android.
The new Holo design on Android is simple, beautiful and when combined with the new default Android font – Roboto – the overall app looks great and provides a very native experience to Android devices already on Android 4.0 ICS or Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Best Twitter Apps for Android with Holo Design
We always keep an eye out for the best Twitter apps on Android that are beautiful in design and great in performance. So here we are, with a list of the best Twitter Android apps with Holo design and those that follow the Android guidelines properly.

Tweedle is a client for Android which is free, ad-less, and simple. It was built out of the need for a better, cleaner, and faster Twitter client for Android. It allows the user to select whatever color scheme they can imagine.

Tweet Lanes – Pure Twitter, Pure Android. The native Android ICS styling has been shamelessly applied to Tweet Lanes, which makes for the most beautiful Twitter client available on Android.
