Everybody knows the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Iphone 4S Facebook App, however, thanks in large part to version 3, has stayed an intense spot. However while some individuals are now gushing about the current iPhone upgrade (3.1.3, the first update in a while), I'm not one of those people.
Iphone 4S Facebook App
Firstly, Facebook has not yet released a native IPAD app. This is quite ludicrous considering that, no doubt, a high percentage of the millions of IPAD owners have actually looked for a Facebook for iPhone in the App Store, and feature only imitations (that Facebook has actually demanded be removed).
As I noted above, the original Facebook application for the iPhone was introduced beside the store App Store itself. Now we are up almost 3 months after the IPAD, and there is definitely no word about when we can anticipate an IPAD application.
Second, while a lot of the finest Facebook for iPhone application developers have been to "work out" to get their apps IOS 4-ready (the brand-new iPhone OS release on Monday), and numerous already have IOS 4 apps in the App Shop, this update does not add anything in that Department of Facebook.
Could not even trouble to turn on quick application (one of the most standard feature 4 multitasking IOS) change whether to update your application anyway?
Finally, this upgrade has at least one blatant error interface. Naturally, errors belong of the game, however how Facebook is gone through high East is shocking. If you have new or ask for friendship on Facebook messages, loads up to the main screen in the application.
There you will find some locations badged to let you know of that have been updated so you can see-- however these plates have a dark upper area that clashes badly with the Fund clear of the primary screen. I indicate, it simply looks terrible. Was to go through quality assurance?
Meanwhile, as I have actually stated, many individuals are to speak marvels about the important things that I've added Facebook with this update. The capability (lastly) so that you can see and compose on walls occasion is absolutely welcome. Nevertheless, the huge addition is the ability to see videos in the application.
The only issue? It's really hard to in fact discover all the videos to view. While Facebook has a location in the profile of every one for images, videos remain in any part to be discovered. One would think that if it is going to be an update of video focused on the application, which would be a new area for these videos to highlight the function you added-- but not.
So you will forgive me if let me out a great sigh to see this Facebook update. From designer Joe Hewitt moved far from the job (above his dislike of some policies from the App Shop) last November, things have actually gone downhill. And that trend, sadly, continues-- while Facebook promised that he would not do so. small modifications can be well and even well received by other business-- but Facebook used to lead the way in the development of the Iphone 4S Facebook App. Now they are second-rate.
There are about 55 million regular monthly active users of Iphone 4S Facebook App, inning accordance with Inside Facebook. They are worthy of a greater commitment to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
