Everybody understands the Facebook Android application is a shit. The Iphone Facebook, however, thanks in big part to version 3, has stayed an intense spot. However while some people are now gushing about the most current iPhone update (3.1.3, the first update in a while), I'm not one of those people.
Iphone Facebook
First off, Facebook has not yet launched 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 Shop, and feature only replicas (that Facebook has actually 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 nearly 3 months after the IPAD, and there is definitely no word about when we can anticipate an IPAD application.
Second, while many of the finest Facebook for iPhone application designers have been to "negotiate" to get their apps IOS 4-ready (the brand-new iPhone OS release on Monday), and numerous currently have IOS 4 apps in the App Store, this update does not add anything because Department of Facebook.
Could not even bother to turn on fast application (the a lot of basic feature 4 multitasking IOS) change whether to upgrade your application anyway?
Third, this upgrade has at least one blatant error interface. Obviously, errors belong of the game, however how Facebook is travelled through high East is staggering. If you have new or requests for friendship on Facebook messages, loads up to the primary screen in the application.
There you will discover some locations badged to let you understand of that have been upgraded so you can see-- however these plates have a dark upper location that clashes badly with the Fund clear of the primary screen. I imply, it simply looks dreadful. Was to go through quality control?
On the other hand, as I have stated, many individuals are to speak marvels about the important things that I have actually added Facebook with this upgrade. The ability (finally) so that you can see and write on walls event is definitely welcome. Nevertheless, the huge addition is the ability to view videos in the application.
The only issue? It's truly difficult to in fact find all the videos to see. While Facebook has a location in the profile of each 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 focused on the application, which would be a brand-new space for these videos to highlight the feature you added-- but not.
So you will forgive me if let me out an excellent sigh to see this Facebook update. From developer Joe Hewitt moved away from the task (above his dislike of some policies from the App Shop) last November, things have actually gone downhill. And that pattern, sadly, continues-- while Facebook assured that he would refrain from doing so. small modifications can be well and even well gotten by other business-- however Facebook used to lead the way in the development of the Iphone Facebook. Now they are second-rate.
There are about 55 million monthly active users of Iphone Facebook, inning accordance with Within Facebook. They deserve a greater dedication to this platform (like Facebook Android users do).
