We are averaging around 3-4K downloads a day and have had well over 200K downloads since Tweetro launched on \u2018Release Preview\u2019.  Unfortunately, we\u2019ve been victims of our own success as it appears that the app is now being blocked by Twitter due to the new Token limitations.<\/p>\n<p>The app is now completely crippled and users cannot get past the OAuth screen as they are presented with an error \u2018Cannot connect to service\u2019.  We were under the impression that Twitter wasn\u2019t going to enforce the token limits until March next year (when all 3rd party apps are required to migrate to the new API\u2019s) however this doesn\u2019t seem to be the case.<br \/>\nWe have reached out to Twitter for confirmation however we haven\u2019t heard back yet.<\/p>\n<p>The future of Tweetro is uncertain at this stage but it\u2019s likely that it will be pulled from the Windows Store until we can figure out the best way moving forward.  At this stage, we are considering to add further polish to Tweetro and re-launch it as an exclusive \u2018premium\u2019 paid app.  We would have been more than happy to continue distributing Tweetro for free as the exposure we\u2019ve been receiving from it has been fantastic however being limited by twitter to a maximum of 100,000 users would mean we\u2019d have to justify development via financial means.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that there is a way around the token limitations, at least until the official Twitter app is available on Windows 8 however it seems that Twitter is taking a strong stance on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll aim to have further announcements in the coming days with regards to what people can expect from future iterations of the app.<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time, for those who are enjoying Tweetro we recommend that they refrain from uninstalling the app, removing accounts from within the app or revoking access from Twitter as there is no method accessing OAuth in its current state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsobserver.com\/2012\/11\/10\/tweetro-slams-into-twitter-100k-token-limit\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued
