I loved this update. The Graphics are now amazing and the implementation of some huge missing features (such as built-in web browser and possibility to view and become fan of pages) made me much happier with the Facebook app. I’ve also written a pretty enthusiastic review about it. Here you’ve the link, in case you would like to read it: http://www.iwikiphone.com/review/32806/social-networking/facebook-facebook/facebook-30-even-better-web-version

Just one question about it. It was work perfectly for me until the bug-fixes came out.

Yesterday I downloaded the bug-fixes and the chat is not working anymore …. why?!? had someone experienced my same problem?

Cheers, Nico

Is it me or does it lately feel like owning an iPhone and anticipating anything new for the iPhone seems like a drawn out dissapointing waiting game?

think somebody got my hopes up that it would soon be in the UK store if it was in the south african store

Yes, it seems the icon disappeared a while back. I just made a duplicate of the app’s icon and put it up on clipalizer.com to launch the full site. Even the mobile site has too many issues for me (unless they’ve fixed it recently) and I’ve just become tired of jumping between three Facebooks that all have different ways of working.

So now, whatever I can’t do on the app, I just open the full site and do whatever I need ー even if that means scrolling and zooming.

I have high hopes for this app, even though I rarely even use Facebook.

First off, I’m not complaing about Facebook. They’re a free service and one guy took his time to make what looks like a killer update.  I’m more critical of Apple.

I’m not here to say they should hire a million reviewers so that Apple can push through every app in record speed.  Facebook though is a pheneomenon, maybe one of the most popular apps globally.  One of you said, “Apple is a business.”  Businesses compete for a share of your wallet.  With Blackberry, the Pre and Android all out there, iPhone has one of the worst versions of one of the biggest apps (worse than the mobile site).  It makes business sense to have all 40 of their reviewers working on this one app because of the sheer scope of it, if that’s what it takes to compete.

Lastly, I’m not sure that our 40 App Store reviewers are “saving” us from buggy apps.  That’s not their mission (and surely not what they’re accomplishing).  Their purpose is to make sure that content in apps doesn’t conflict with Apple’s interests.  Period.  That’s it.  They’re not serving as a debug service for developers.

So am I complaining?  Yeah, a little.  I’m excited by what looks like a great update to an important app and I’m hoping Apple is too.

One other improvement that I read is that you can also upload photos to any album now. Awkscum!

Lastly I think facebook sucks for assigning one engineer to design an app that had been on the top download list since the launch of the App Store. Poor guy, all these selfish bastards constantly hounding him for an update.

btw, is anybody else having problems adding the mobile facebook site to their homescreen? The icon won’t show up anymore.

and you expect me to believe something written by an illiterate? Right.

Funny how that is, eh? For minor updates to..

And.. Dexter.. I find that to be pretty racist and offensive. Chinese people do not eat cats, neither do Koreans or Japanese people. No animal was meant to be domesticated, anyway. So stfu.

Also, “updates” of high-profile apps should be rushed through approval

and yes, Apple should hire more people. their system for approving apps sucks.

i agree that is a smart system u came up with. That is a really good idea

I completely agree. I’d rather wait for an app than receive a buggy one. People here are so f-ing impatient.

Oh, I forgot to mention: Apple is a business. That’s b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s. They won’t hire a thousand app reviewers just so you can get your precious app within minutes of submission. Stop being greedy and start being thankful for what Apple already does.

I do the same thing, yet iSniper gets a weekly update like anti-virus software.

Ya know, the guys at iPhone have busted butt to get us the apps we want with little to no faults. I see a lot of people on here complaining about the release but once it’s released I’m gonna hear about what’s wrong. Stop being so imaptient and relaaax. It’ll be worth it. I have yet to be let down by apple and if you’re an iPhone user you’ll understand. We have such an innovative piece of technology in our hands.. Show a little appreciation and thanks to the guys at apple.

Agreed. They should push through trusted developers or they should look at volume. Facebook should get a different priority than the “Are you a hottie?” app or random garbage-ware-game. By the week+ it’s taken so far, it doesn’t look like that’s the case…

I keep clicking on the App Store, like a kid on Christmas morning, just to see “All Apps are up to date”. It’s like Santa dying on the way to your house…

you can edit your profile stuff right now by going to facebook.Com on the iPhone then go to full site. i made my facebook on the iPhone.

the news feed displays just like the desktop with comments. It’s awesome!

I also forgot to mention the ability to add your own photo albums too.

The app is “so big” with changes, it is hard to keep track of then all!

Standing vigilant to protect us from aps we want. Its a selfless and thankless job protecting people who don’t want protection. Sigh. If only we knew what was best for us.

Like fastlane, I’m also wondering if I get taken to the actual comment or post someone made when it shows up in my Notifications (they posted to my wall, posted a comment to my post or link, etc), rather than to their profile, which is never what I want it to do.

Do we still get taken to a friend’s profile instead of being able to comment on something they’ve posted on our walls?
