User Reviews From The App Store
Sparrow is a really simple piece of software designed to do nothing but update your location on Twitter and Fire Eagle. It succeeds admirably. It’s a beautiful, high quality app and much recommended.by plasticbagUK
I wish there were more apps like this one. Fast and easy to use. I just wish Apple would lose the “Allow” dialogue.by LocationW4R3Z
This is the perfect app for two excellent services. It’s easy to use and hits two of my favorite social networking services with one touch.by jonhenshaw.com
In the interest of full disclosure . . . I’m an engineer working for Yahoo! — the same company that built Fire Eagle. However, Sparrow is not endorsed by or affiliated with my employer. Neither are the views expressed on this website.
