Ratings and Reviews
Working again, yay!
A short while ago, all the "good" features stopped working because of the greedy service providers, but the Friendly developers just fixed it and all is well, good work!
As bloated as official FB apps are, I keep coming back to them
I keep returning to this app every version, but unfortunately, some issues keep it from being great:
Pros: lightweight, less energy consumption, adblock
Cons:
- Notifications. There are no push notifications, so the app has to pull them. Unfortunately, even with background app refresh and the faster notifications setting turned on, the app often notices a fb message only after a couple of hours, and only after I manually open the app and it refreshes itself. Sometimes it doesn't even sync the message I just sent without me manually refreshing.
- No setting to automatically open all links in Safari by default is a big minus for me (something this app shares with the official one). Even after I use “Open in Safari” button in the built-in browser, it first goes to some other browser, where I have to use another button to open the link in Safari proper.
It’s a pity, because I really would like to get rid of the bloated official apps.
Uninstalled
Very rarely do I give negative feedback, and yet: have to uninstall this after 2 weeks, I am not too impatient in general, but I just didn’t have the nerves. Very slow, some functions are modified in unintuitive way... still okay of sorts, but what was unbearably annoying was the messenger - that was just one big mess. It just wouldnt load latest messages when I was in the conversation, you’d have to go out to list of conversations and reenter the convo again so they’d show up. Not always, but most of the time. Things like ad free mode are premium version anyways. Very disappointing, it seemed to have good potential. But no.
