The app is still ridiculously slow for me on WiFi.
Start up takes ~10 seconds to bring up the Facebook logo/splash screen. Then another 3 - 5 to bring up my feed and load the images.
Scroll is laggy and there are only ~5 articles before I have to refresh.
I end up using the mobile version because it isn't as laggy and doesn't require location services and the potential to track me as easily.
The Facebook app should be like the Google+ app if they want to make Android users happy.
- WrkInProgress 14y agoWhat phone/tablet are you using ? I'm able to get into the pictures loaded feed under 5 seconds on 3G and under 4 seconds on WiFi. And I get about 10 articles before I have to refresh (which takes less than a second) to see more. I'm using a HTC One X.
- nickpresta 14y agoI am using a Galaxy Nexus. I was able to bring the loading times down to something reasonable but it isn't consistent. Out of 10 times, only 30 or 40 percent were < 5 seconds. There are anywhere from 5 to 10 articles at any given time on the first page of my feed. It still takes a second or two to reload and after about 6 pages, the scrolling is so laggy so I can't be bothered to use the app. It's a shame, really, that a platform that popular with all the resources, still has massive performances problems and still has legacy stuff lying around (like the three dot menu in the bottom right on 4.0+ devices).
