:+1: nice work. The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API.

• The model classes look good. I mentioned Mantle already for the Week 1 assignment as an example of another technique that some developers use for mapping JSON to models.
• NSDateFormatters are expensive to instantiate, so you can instantiate it once and use the same one, as long as you're using it from the same thread.
• In the Tweet model, in the toggle favorite/retweet functions, you should toggle the properties immediately instead of waiting for the network request to complete. That way, the user won't see a delay between their tap and the property changing values. If the network request fails, you can toggle the value back.
• Header files look good, nice encapsulation.
• In general, Auto Layout constraints look good. Generally, you shouldn't set a height constraint for labels, or it'll be too sensitive to the font. You can let the intrinsic content size drive the label height.
• Nice work handling the retweet label by dynamically modifying the constraint. Alternatively, you could have use a stack view to handle this case.
• Delegate properties should be weak to avoid memory cycles.

Overall, the other classes look good.
