Everybody understands the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Iphone Facebook App, however, thanks in large part to version 3, has stayed a brilliant area. However while some people are now gushing about the most recent iPhone update (3.1.3, the very first upgrade in a while), I'm not one of those individuals.
Iphone Facebook App
First of all, Facebook has not yet released a native IPAD app. This is quite outrageous considering that, no doubt, a high portion of the millions of IPAD owners have sought a Facebook for iPhone in the App Store, and come with only imitations (that Facebook has actually demanded be taken down).
As I noted above, the original Facebook application for the iPhone was launched beside the shop 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 number of the very best Facebook for iPhone application designers have 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 upgrade does not include anything in that Department of Facebook.
Could not even bother to switch on quick application (one of the most basic feature 4 multitasking IOS) change whether to upgrade your application anyhow?
Finally, this update has at least one blatant mistake interface. Naturally, mistakes are a part of the video game, but how Facebook is travelled through high East is incredible. If you have brand-new or requests for relationship on Facebook messages, loads up to the primary screen in the application.
There you will find some locations badged to let you understand of that have actually been upgraded so you can see-- but these plates have a dark upper area that clashes badly with the Fund clear of the primary screen. I suggest, it just looks awful. Was to go through quality assurance?
Meanwhile, as I have actually stated, many individuals are to speak marvels about the things that I have actually included Facebook with this upgrade. The capability (lastly) so that you can see and write on walls occasion is absolutely welcome. Nevertheless, the big addition is the capability to see videos in the application.
The only issue? It's actually difficult to in fact find all the videos to view. While Facebook has an area in the profile of each one for images, videos remain in any part to be found. One would think that if it is going to be an update of video focused on the application, which would be a brand-new area for these videos to highlight the feature you included-- but not.
So you will forgive me if let me out a fantastic sigh to see this Facebook upgrade. From designer Joe Hewitt moved far from the task (above his dislike of some policies from the App Shop) last November, things have gone downhill. And that trend, regrettably, continues-- while Facebook assured that he would not do so. little modifications can be well or perhaps well gotten by other business-- but Facebook used to lead the way in the advancement of the Iphone Facebook App. Now they are second-rate.
There have to do with 55 million regular monthly active users of Iphone Facebook App, inning accordance with Within Facebook. They should have a higher commitment to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
