Windows 8.1 Official Twitter app not working!


Recommended Posts

Hi to all.

 

I'm new to the community. I'm a huge fan of neowin and every day visit the site to stay informed about technology.

 

I have a very strange issue with my system running Windows 8.1. Every Metro App I have works with no problem, but every time I install and want to use the Official Twitter App from the Windows Store, I cant.

 

I open the App and enter my user ID and password, but It never works. It shows an error message that it can't Access and try again later.

 

I tried to use this App since It was available in Windows 8 and never was able to use it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, with no success. Even with a fresh install of Windows 8.1 I cant still use this App. I have my twitter account linked to the Contacts App and it's working fine. Going to Twitter in my web browser Works too.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance..

The Twitter app works flawlessly for me and works faster than any other Twitter app I find.

 

SInce this has been an ongoing issue for you, I agree what Dot Matrix said above, it sounds like a permission issue which you must have a setting in Twitter itself preventing certain apps from accessing your account.  Or it maybe a firewall related issue, but I doubt that.

Honestly Twitters Official Windows Store app is garbage for a lot of people. I do however suggest making sure your Graphics driver is up-to-date. As well as any other OEM(Acer, Dell, Hp, Lenovo etc) provided drivers

 

I use Tweetium as a great third-party app, Tweetro+ is OK as well(these are Paid apps), Another new entry I'm fond of is Mevy. Search them in the Store. If you can't find them in your Windows Store Region, Change your Region
