This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Well...it works, but without much flair. Tweets are displayed in a tiny font that is hard to read. Sending tweets is a mysterious affair, with no submit button and no apparent way to shorten urls.
I can't imagine why anybody would use this app instead of the web client. It is less attractive and offers no extra features.
The search for a decent client continues.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Version 2.1.2; Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
Selecting Preferences from the Syrinx menu does nothing -- thus I have no way of increasing font size, which defaults to tiny. Also the icon becomes invisible once new messages arrive -- all you see is the message badge.
About the only positive thing I can say it that this program works under Snow Leopard -- something that can't be said about Nambu.
Works Very Well!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Very nice and clean UI without allot of the clutter and superfluous bells & whistles that many other clients are bogged down with.
I've only used it for a month now, but it has become my default client.
Thank you for this rock solid app!
Does what it says and quite well.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Syrinx is my favourite Twitter app. Well designed, not overloaded with options and OSX native. Integrates well with Twitter's webapp if you need more. The "pause" button is a nice option as well.
Two things I would like to see added is tinyurl support and the possibility to have a separate window for replies and direct messages. But I'm not complaining.
PS. The name is nice - maybe not for people from the medical sector, but life is larger than that. They should check the classics. Read up on Hermes, for example.
