Two words: Facebook app

• jasonlotito 17y ago
  I tried the Facebook App, and didn't like it much. I'm not a hardcore facebook user or anything. I mostly use it to share photos with my family. But I never liked the App. The website was generally a better experience. Couple this with the fact that I still haven't upgraded to the 3.0 version of the iPhone OS (Why? Because none of the features they were/are promoting are anything I'd use), and it makes a lot of the current breed of apps not usable.

    I had a similar feeling with the OS 2.0 version of the Facebook app, the OS 3.0 version is much better. Doesn't crash when opening large photo albums, for example.

  When people recommend an app that is just a substitute for a website, it confirms my impression that Safari is not that great on the iPad. I used to think this was the case on the iPhone solely because of screen size, but if apps are still better on the iPad I guess not.

    The Facebook app is able to do things the web interface can't.

    Mobile Safari is pretty decent. apps are a way to handle auth better etc...

    Using the apps nets you stuff like notifications, file uploading and chat.

      Why should file uploading require a dedicated application? That has been a standard browser feature since at least Netscape 3.

        Ask Apple, but probably because the iPhone doesn't have a user exposed file system.

  Safari on the iPad remembers passwords fine. Just because the author is too blinded to figure it out doesn't make it true.
