The company’s app for the Mac has never received that much attention and was lacking in feature compared to its mobile apps and its web solution. Last September, Twitter decided to remove their app from the Apple Watch, as it was presumably not gaining as much user attention as they originally expected.

For those who still want an app for Twitter on the Mac, you can checkout third-party solutions such as Twitterrific or Tweetbot.
