Tweetbot released an update for iPhone and iPad this week that adds an option to mute tweets by keyword, location-based search, and offline support to favorite posts or read them later. Coming nearly a month after the Tweetbot 2.3 update that brought instant Storify conversation upload and Droplr support, version 2.4 focuses on letting you read what you want to, when you want to. With the option to mute tweets based on certain keywords, you'll never have to waste your time reading about your friend's disappointing salad again. And now you can favorite tweets or add them to a read later application even without an internet connection.

Here's a list of everything new in Tweetbot 2.4:

  • Updated Search view
  • View nearby tweets with ability to change location
  • Location-based keyword searches

  • Double-tap search tab to open search with keyboard
  • Keyword mute filters (with the ability to mute mentions)
  • Offline Favorite and Read Later support
  • Basic smart quote support when composing (ex: quotes become smart quotes, ... becomes an ellipsis, and -- becomes an em dash)
  • When viewing an image full screen on the iPad you can hold down on it for options
  • List views now show one line of a list or profile description on the iPad
  • Top tweets show up in search results marked with a silver star
  • Dismiss web and map views on the iPad with a 2-finger swipe down gesture
  • Can now swipe to the right on profile views to go back one level
  • Improved find location speed and accuracy
  • Sending to pinboard now marks items as unread
  • Muting a user automatically mutes mentions from that user as well
