There is no direct way to do this, no. But you might be able to accomplish the same thing in an interesting way. Create a new Twitter account that exclusively follows users of your app. When you request statuses/friends for that new account, you will get current information and most recent tweet for all your app users with a single call. (Well, you are returned 100 users per page.)
