This weekend has become the weekend of App Store sales. Tons of apps have been placed on sale in celebration of the App Store's birthday, and we can now add the newly released
Boxcar to that list.
Boxcar is a push-enabled Twitter app, at least in a sense. The app is able to push Twitter mentions and direct messages straight to your iPhone or iPod touch within minutes. Since
Boxcar isn't a full featured Twitter app, there is a setting that allows you to open your favorite Twitter app (
Tweetie and
Twitterrific are the only supported apps) straight from the push notification itself. This way you can just place
Boxcar on the last page of your device and forget about it. It will do its job without ever having to access it again.
Boxcar is originally priced at $2.99, but it is on sale for only $1.99, which puts it on par with another push-enabled Twitter app,
iTweetReply.
Boxcar and all other push-enabled apps can be found on our
Apps That Push You AppList.
