Everyone understands the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Facebook On Iphone, nevertheless, thanks in large part to version 3, has remained a bright spot. However while some people are now gushing about the current iPhone upgrade (3.1.3, the very first update in a while), I'm not one of those people.
Facebook On Iphone
First off, Facebook has actually not yet released a native IPAD app. This is quite ludicrous thinking about that, no doubt, a high portion of the countless IPAD owners have sought a Facebook for iPhone in the App Shop, and feature only imitations (that Facebook has actually required be taken down).
As I noted above, the initial Facebook application for the iPhone was launched beside the shop App Shop itself. Now we are up almost 3 months after the IPAD, and there is definitely no word about when we can expect an IPAD application.
Second, while a lot of the finest Facebook for iPhone application designers have actually been to "work out" to get their apps IOS 4-ready (the new iPhone OS release on Monday), and numerous currently have IOS 4 apps in the App Shop, this upgrade does not add anything because Department of Facebook.
Couldn't even trouble to switch on quick application (one of the most basic feature 4 multitasking IOS) modification whether to upgrade your application anyway?
Third, this upgrade has at least one blatant error user interface. Of course, errors belong of the video game, but how Facebook is gone through high East is incredible. If you have brand-new or ask for friendship on Facebook messages, loads up to the main screen in the application.
There you will find some areas badged to let you understand of that have actually been upgraded so you can see-- but these plates have a dark upper location that clashes severely with the Fund clear of the main screen. I imply, it simply looks terrible. Was to go through quality assurance?
Meanwhile, as I have actually said, many people are to speak wonders about the things that I've included Facebook with this update. The capability (lastly) so that you can see and write on walls event is certainly welcome. However, the huge addition is the ability to see videos in the application.
The only issue? It's actually tough to actually find all the videos to watch. While Facebook has an area in the profile of each one for images, videos are in any part to be found. One would think that if it is going to be an upgrade of video concentrated on the application, which would be a brand-new space for these videos to highlight the feature you added-- but not.
So you will forgive me if let me out a fantastic sigh to see this Facebook update. From developer Joe Hewitt moved far from the project (above his dislike of some policies from the App Store) last November, things have gone downhill. Which pattern, unfortunately, continues-- while Facebook guaranteed that he would not do so. small modifications can be well or perhaps well received by other business-- however Facebook used to pave the method in the advancement of the Facebook On Iphone. Now they are second-rate.
There have to do with 55 million month-to-month active users of Facebook On Iphone, inning accordance with Inside Facebook. They are worthy of a greater commitment to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
