And I want to thank the developers who consistently work extremely hard to keep the app at optimal performance. I've been using this app for nearly 3 years. Instead of handing over most of ones cellphone privacy by using the official Facebook and FB Messenger iOS apps. There's no debating that this App is hands down a lot better option for smartphone users. If your app already has this ability please let me know how it works. And also only the go backwards swiping works but not the swiping forward.Īs you know every browser has both a ❮go backwards function and a ❯ go forward one. It was a nice run, but your updated look is not better than before.Ĭan you please add a “Forward” ❯ button or swiping function? Currently you only have a ❮ back button that appears when browsing. There’s a saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I definitely will not be downloading the official Facebook app, and I’m ready to delete this one. There are just so many things wrong with this and I’m so disappointed. After checking notifications, I get stuck there and can’t get back to the newsfeed. Trying to go back to the news feed after going to someone’s post and thread doesn’t always go back to the news feed, or it takes me so far such as back to the top of the feed. Now, it doesn’t take me to Safari- I have to copy the link, exit Friendly, then go to Safari and paste and go. I used to be able to click a link and it would take me to Safari. I like that I can personalize it by color and add other social media accounts. I liked that the news feed stayed on Most Recent and it was easy to navigate. I tried the official Facebook app many times but I always delete it and returned to Friendly. I’ve used it exclusively since it first came out, way back in 2010 or 2011. The app periodically cleans itself which is good, and while it's nice to have everything in one place, just keep in mind that their main focus is Facebook so if you have other social media you might be better off keeping the original apps for those. Twitter seems to work fine on here, I haven't noticed any problems, but I also don't use it as much.

There is also NO way to receive direct messages from Instagram- I just found out today that people had been messaging me months ago and I never knew about it. I've updated this app several times and it's never been fixed, I think they only care about the Facebook portion of it. While the photo filters do work, the editing tools do not show up at all- it's just a blank empty space where they should be. Just keep the instagram app because the Friendly version is terrible. If you are planning on also using this for Instagram, forget about it. The ads can be a little annoying but it's what you'd expect. There is also no way to upload video from your phone to Facebook, I'm not sure if they'll be able to fix that, but it would be nice. I always have to go to Facebook's mobile site and do it there. There's no way to upload photos into people's comment sections. This app is a fine substitute if you just want to get Facebook off your phone, but it definitely has its flaws.
