Social media dashboard app Tweetdeck has been hit with technical problems with people around the world left unable to log in.

Those using Twitter accounts in the UK and the US have reported issues accessing the site after seeing the message: "Sorry, something went wrong" when trying to log in.

The platform is widely used by professionals in different areas of business and journalism to manage their web presence and monitor multiple streams of social media activity.

A string of Tweetdeck users posted complaints on Twitter on Monday afternoon.

Andreas Savvides, who describes himself as a "tech lead" at Twitter, said the company was "working on a fix".

It is not yet clear what caused the issue.

Update: Tweetdeck was up and running again by 5.30pm UK time.
