■ Important points
* This app is designed for keywords that occur in an infrequent number of tweets per day.
* As it is easy to check the history from the menu bar, only the latest tweets are saved and displayed. Typically around 30-40 results are saved, however this can vary based on display and font size.
* If one of your saved keywords is "buzzing", or temporarily getting a higher number of results than usual, it is possible that these results can interfere with the updates from your other saved keywords. If this happens, you can change your search criteria, or untick that items checkbox on the left hand side of the list to temporarily disable it.
