Simple
The app has just 5 tabs - home, replies, direct messages, profile and search. That's it.

repo doesn't work. Project hasn't been updated in years.

•••
Limited configuration options
The tradeoff to Birdie's simplicity is that if you don't like something about how it presents the information, you most likely won't be able to change it.

Good looking interface
Birdie has paid attention to details - cohesive icons, functional typography, color scheme that's easy on the eyes, layout and letter spacing that makes reading the feed comfortable, etc.

Elementary OS focussed, might not work properly on other distros
The dev has decided to continue development based on Elementary OS APIs, entirely dropping support for other ditros. https://www.birdieapp.eu/building-our-future-on-elementary-os/

Plays movies and shows images in-line with the tweet(s)
Even movie types that chrome-based browsers on Linux do not play are shown. Images of retweeted or liked tweets are shown in-line too.

Borderline outdated
According to the installation: Warning: runtime/org.baedert.corebird.Locale/x86_64/stable is end-of-life, with reason: Vital Twitter API endpoints have been retired and as a consequence, Corebird is unmaintained and will not work in the future.

Notifications include details
Most clients use notifications only to inform you of the fact that there's a new item that needs your attention, but Polly also includes the item in the notification, allowing you to decide with a glance at the notification if you wish to take action.

TrustingVoluptas's Experience
One of the only client I know where you can display at the same time your feeds, single out a feed and a search.

Can't view full-sized images in within the app
While the app can show previews inline, to show full images, they are opened in a browser instead of being opened within the application.

Highly configurable
Turpial offers a plethora of confugration options. Within settings you can customize notifications, services, what happens on startup, how filters behave, the integration with the web browser, how to set up an API proxy, etc. And all of those categories of options go into great detail. For example, you can set the refreshrate on a per-column basis.
