The amazing thing is how much memory the app can take up. Forget the UX issues, it is urgent to fix the outrageous memory usage first. For example, my old phone had just about 100M available for user apps.
Facebook uses about 121M. That's even after disabling all notifications and clearing data. 121M is more than all the rest of my apps combined.
Google+ is also a relative heavyweight at 31M. Android's most used app, Google Maps, uses a svelte 8.9M.
On older phones, just running Facebook alone will make the entire OS experience slow and frustrating. Now with the latest update, it prompts me to sync my contacts every open. It is shocking how badly they have managed this.
