Everyone understands the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Facebook Iphone, however, thanks in big part to version 3, has actually stayed a brilliant spot. But while some individuals are now gushing about the current iPhone upgrade (3.1.3, the very first upgrade in a while), I'm not one of those individuals.
Facebook Iphone
First off, Facebook has actually not yet launched a native IPAD app. This is pretty outrageous thinking about that, no doubt, a high percentage of the countless IPAD owners have sought a Facebook for iPhone in the App Store, and include just imitations (that Facebook has demanded be taken down).
As I kept in mind above, the original Facebook application for the iPhone was released beside the shop App Shop itself. Now we are up almost 3 months after the IPAD, and there is absolutely no word about when we can anticipate an IPAD application.
Second, while many of the best Facebook for iPhone application developers have actually been to "negotiate" to obtain their apps IOS 4-ready (the new iPhone OS release on Monday), and many already have IOS 4 apps in the App Store, this update does not include anything because Department of Facebook.
Could not even bother to turn on quick application (the a lot of basic function 4 multitasking IOS) change whether to upgrade your application anyhow?
Finally, this upgrade has at least one outright error user interface. Obviously, errors are a part of the video game, but how Facebook is passed through high East is shocking. If you have brand-new or requests for friendship on Facebook messages, loads up to the primary screen in the application.
There you will find some areas badged to let you know of that have actually been updated so you can see-- however these plates have a dark upper area that clashes severely with the Fund clear of the primary screen. I indicate, it just looks dreadful. Was to go through quality control?
On the other hand, as I have actually said, many individuals are to speak wonders about the things that I've added Facebook with this update. The capability (lastly) so that you can see and write on walls event is absolutely welcome. However, the huge addition is the ability to see videos in the application.
The only problem? It's truly hard to really discover all the videos to watch. While Facebook has an area in the profile of every 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 new area 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 designer Joe Hewitt moved far from the task (above his dislike of some policies from the App Store) last November, things have actually gone downhill. Which trend, sadly, continues-- while Facebook assured that he would refrain from doing so. small changes can be well or perhaps well gotten by other companies-- but Facebook used to lead the way in the development of the Facebook Iphone. Now they are second-rate.
There have to do with 55 million month-to-month active users of Facebook Iphone, inning accordance with Within Facebook. They are worthy of a greater commitment to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
