Everyone knows the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Facebook To Iphone, nevertheless, thanks in big part to variation 3, has actually stayed a bright spot. But while some people are now gushing about the latest iPhone upgrade (3.1.3, the first upgrade in a while), I'm not one of those people.
Facebook To Iphone
To start with, Facebook has not yet released a native IPAD app. This is pretty absurd thinking about that, no doubt, a high portion of the countless IPAD owners have looked for a Facebook for iPhone in the App Store, and feature just replicas (that Facebook has required be taken down).
As I noted above, the initial Facebook application for the iPhone was released beside the store App Shop itself. Now we are up practically 3 months after the IPAD, and there is absolutely no word about when we can anticipate an IPAD application.
Second, while a lot of the finest Facebook for iPhone application designers have been to "negotiate" to get their apps IOS 4-ready (the new iPhone OS release on Monday), and lots of currently have IOS 4 apps in the App Shop, this upgrade does not add anything because Department of Facebook.
Couldn't even bother to switch on quick application (the most basic function 4 multitasking IOS) modification whether to update your application anyway?
Finally, this upgrade has at least one outright mistake interface. Obviously, mistakes belong of the game, but how Facebook is travelled through high East is incredible. If you have brand-new or demands for friendship on Facebook messages, loads up to the primary screen in the application.
There you will discover some locations badged to let you know of that have actually been upgraded so you can see-- but these plates have a dark upper location that clashes badly with the Fund clear of the main screen. I mean, it just looks horrible. Was to go through quality control?
On the other hand, as I have actually stated, many individuals are to speak marvels about the things that I've added Facebook with this upgrade. The ability (finally) so that you can see and write on walls event is definitely welcome. However, the huge addition is the capability to view videos in the application.
The only problem? It's really difficult to actually discover all the videos to view. While Facebook has a location in the profile of every one for images, videos are in any part to be discovered. One would think that if it is going to be an update of video concentrated 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 fantastic sigh to see this Facebook update. From developer Joe Hewitt moved away 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 promised that he would not do so. little modifications can be well or even well received by other business-- however Facebook utilized to pave the method in the advancement of the Facebook To Iphone. Now they are second-rate.
There are about 55 million regular monthly active users of Facebook To Iphone, inning accordance with Inside Facebook. They deserve a higher dedication to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
