Everybody understands the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Facebook App Iphone, however, thanks in big part to version 3, has actually stayed a bright area. But while some people are now gushing about the newest iPhone upgrade (3.1.3, the very first upgrade in a while), I'm not one of those people.
Facebook App Iphone
To start with, Facebook has not yet released a native IPAD app. This is pretty ludicrous thinking about that, no doubt, a high percentage of the millions of IPAD owners have actually sought a Facebook for iPhone in the App Shop, and feature just replicas (that Facebook has demanded be taken down).
As I noted above, the original Facebook application for the iPhone was introduced next to the shop App Shop itself. Now we are up practically 3 months after the IPAD, and there is absolutely no word about when we can expect an IPAD application.
Second, while much of the very best Facebook for iPhone application designers have actually been to "work out" to obtain their apps IOS 4-ready (the brand-new iPhone OS release on Monday), and many already have IOS 4 apps in the App Store, this upgrade does not include anything in that Department of Facebook.
Could not even bother to switch on quick application (one of the most fundamental feature 4 multitasking IOS) modification whether to upgrade your application anyway?
Third, this update has at least one blatant mistake interface. Obviously, errors are a part of the game, but how Facebook is passed through high East is shocking. If you have brand-new or requests for relationship on Facebook messages, loads up to the primary screen in the application.
There you will discover some areas badged to let you know of that have been updated so you can see-- however these plates have a dark upper area that clashes terribly with the Fund clear of the main screen. I suggest, it just looks dreadful. Was to go through quality assurance?
On the other hand, as I have actually stated, lots of people are to speak marvels about the important things that I've added Facebook with this upgrade. The ability (lastly) so that you can see and write on walls event is certainly welcome. However, the huge addition is the capability to see videos in the application.
The only problem? It's actually hard to in fact discover all the videos to see. While Facebook has a location in the profile of every one for images, videos remain in any part to be found. One would think that if it is going to be an upgrade of video focused on the application, which would be a new space for these videos to highlight the function you added-- but not.
So you will forgive me if let me out an excellent sigh to see this Facebook upgrade. From designer Joe Hewitt moved away from the task (above his dislike of some policies from the App Store) last November, things have gone downhill. Which trend, regrettably, continues-- while Facebook promised that he would refrain from doing so. little changes can be well or even well received by other business-- but Facebook utilized to lead the way in the advancement of the Facebook App Iphone. Now they are second-rate.
There are about 55 million monthly active users of Facebook App Iphone, according to Inside Facebook. They deserve a higher dedication to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
