Friendly Plus for Facebook 12+

I love the small footprint of this app. I’ve had no problems accessing any Facebook features when using the Friendly app. A hint about enlarging your newsfeed, be sure that you’ve clicked on “follow” for each of your friends that you want added to your newsfeed page.
The ad blocking feature and screening posts by keyword are features that I really like. I’ve read some reviews saying that videos won’t post, trying to copy comments doesn’t work, it’s glitchy, and it’s slow. I’ve experienced none of these problems. In fact, I’ve found it much easier to locate older videos that I posted years ago, copying photos and text isn’t a problem, and Facebook Messenger functions great, without having to download an additional app.
My real only complaint would be that the app doesn’t grab the profile photo I use on Facebook, despite my contacting the developer, and getting assurances that this problem would be addressed in the next update. It remains an unsolved glitch. Note to the developer, fix the profile photo problem, and I’ll change my review from 4 to 5 stars.
Would I purchase this app again, or recommend it to a friend? Absolutely!

Might have been 5 stars if you could actually hear your notifications without having to physically look at your phone. And even when you do get a messenger notification, after tapping on it, it shows nothing but the last message. You still have to use the actual messenger app to read new messages. Also, even after setting your feed to “most recent”, you get posts that were made hours and hours ago showing at the top. Sorry guys, great concept but I should have never paid for this. Until I can use this app exclusively to check facebook and messenger, and actually see and hear my NEW notifications, I’m uninstalling. Enjoy my 2 bucks. 👍

Anytime you’re editing a post you need to scroll up by swiping down to get to the top in order to press the post key on the upper right corner. But, if you scroll a little bit too far the page your on refreshes and you loose everything you wrote. The same thing happens when you type a long post and try to add photos to it; I’ve had so many thoughtfully written posted get deleted because of this bug that I’m deleting this app and going back to Facebooks app. At this point I don’t care what anyone does to me or my data, or who they sell it to; I just want to be able to post anything without loosing everything I wrote over half the time. How is it that this bug persists? Why didn’t I uninstall this app a long time ago? If you’re precise enough to scroll without causing the page to refresh before click the post button, then you’ll probably be really good at gold cause that’s what it feels like I’m playing. But the difference is if you don’t scroll a hole-in-one every time, you loose everything you’ve written!
