I like the App and use it. I think it’s a great addition to the twitter landscape. I agree that upload times are sometimes long, but when I talked to the developers it made sense, they do compress the audio significantly but the problem seems to be carrier cell network upload speeds. WiFI is very fast for me and 3G speed are usually good depending on location. EDGE can be really slow at times and quite reasonable at other times. It seems to depend on location a lot and network congestion maybe.
My point is that it’s not really fair to ask developers to fix upload speeds on a carrier cell network, one should complain to your carrier about that sort of thing. Cell network uploads are slower than downloads like on home DSL lines and on EDGE they’re almost like dial-up modems as there wasn’t much to work with in download speed to begin with. I guess I’d rather have the ability to upload and wait outside WiFI than not at all. There is a warning in the app about cell networks to the App’s defense. But like you said, it’s for tweeting and the idea is always to keep it short on twitter, so keep I keep my big spiels to WiFI if I can :-)

Also see the app called twitsmart—it provides the same type of audio capability, but also includes a full twitter client, the ability to attach photos, and it’s FREE!
