Are you saying that some other clients allow to see the timeline in chronological order? I'm a Twitter noob but started to use it more recently - still using the web client.

Yes. Give Tweetbot a try (if you’re on an a Apple platform). It’s great.

And if you're on Android, I'm a big fan of Flamingo.

Flamingo is fantastic, but just got discontinued due to hitting the infamous token limit. It's infuriating.

Can one not input an own API token?

No, the way they did it the tokens are granted to the app makers on behalf of the users. And each company was limited to a certain number of tokens based on how many users they had at the time the policy came out.

This means that apps that had already been out and had a ton of users like Tweetbot it hasn’t been as much of an issue, but anyone wanting to start a new Twitter app today is basically doomed to a low ceiling of users.

In the days of old all tweets were chronical. The official Twitter app orders your stream of tweets based on popularity and some other metrics that it thinks will appeal to you. It also slides ads in amongst them.

yes, but do other clients (twiterrific, etc) order the tweets chronologically?

Tweetbot does this, yes.

Twitterrific does as well.
