Can't remember where I read it, but a shorthand substitution for "social justice" is "envy". I've found that it's pretty much accurate. Jack, your article buttresses that belief and gives me some additional firepower thanks! (You're pretty smart for a Tribble ... 8^)

I was really enjoying my freedom to roam using the iPhone and Facebook. However now I can't access some of my Facebook Apps from FBor from Safari. All I get is a blank screen. Frustrating, seeing as though it worked perfectly before the latest update. Is there a way to install the previous version? Can I pay to have it work properly?

By: Sally

Here is a totally weird issue: After this update, I let my friend use my iphone to check her facebook. So she logged me out and signed herself in. Then when she was done, I logged myself back in. Ever since then, I get ALL of her notifications "pushed" to me like text messages. It's like having two facebook accounts. I've deleted and re-installed the app, and STILL I get all of her notifications. I've turned off push, and STILL i get them. It's insane. And it's making me crazy to get notifications that complete strangers are having conversations.

My push works fine, but it's very annoying. If I want to see what's up on facebook, I'll log on. I turned push off. BUT I can't see ANY comments left on my pictures or other's pictures, I just get notified of said comments. Very annoying, angering, stupid. Makes me want to throw things.

Here's to hoping someone fixes this soon before I go back to being a regular person instead of a facebook one!

By: Brian Rubin

Brian Rubin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:53:04 +0000

Quoted from Bill - "My biggest issue: on the Facebook homepage, you can reorder your friend lists. I have one list (mine is called “Good Stuff”) which I moved to the top, above the Status Updates and the Live Feed.

In the previous version of the Facebook iPhone app, clicking on “News Feed” would default to whichever Friend List you had first. Now clicking on “News Feed” defaults to the Live Feed, and I have to manually change to “Good Stuff” each time. Definitely a step backward."

God damned right. I loved that the last version did it right. Now this new version pisses in my damned Cheerios. The sync thingy erased all my contacts too. Sad, really.

By: Fred CoolOut

Fred CoolOut — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:47:01 +0000

I turned off the "sync contact" feature because it crashes my Beejives app and I turned off the push notification because it's to inconsistent and I continued using Boxcar app for my Facebook Push, its much more reliable.. This update is totally useless for me and it's very disappointing that Facebook would release such a sub-par update..

@Sense of Entitlement, sure it’s free but does that mean they should release something completely broken? Personally I would never release something this poor. Free or not free I have too much pride to dump this poor excuse for an app on the public.

That’s just me though. Just like you have your opinion, I have mine.

By: Rick Maxwell

Rick Maxwell — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:16:13 +0000

I am getting pretty tired of the rebutle stating that we shouldnt complain because the app is free. just because the app is free does not mean we should accept the fact its broke and take it in stride. It should work, it should work properly, and it should be updated properly as well.

I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned this, yet, but there is a grand sense of entitlement on this website seeing that the app is still FREE. I understand it's broken now but cut these guys some slack! Their social networking website is FREE as well as their iPhone app, albeit malfunctioning at the moment, but when it is working, it's head and shoulders above even some of the more expensively priced apps in the App Store. Let's grow up a little more and be thankful for what we are currently able to do now and have on cellphones as well as other areas of our lives.

Wow, I've never seen someone miss the point as hard as Fassy! If it ain't broke don't attempt to fix it, if fixing it, don't break other stuff. And if you DO break other stuff, fix IT! This has NOTHING to do with app store policies lol

Mine is still doing random stuff. I get the gray comment bubble in pictures, and it takes about five minutes to update a status - I hit "share" an it sits there. I also hate the fact that it goes to the live feed instead of my groups. And this just happened last night: I was only getting about one push out of every six or seven notification. So I re-enabled Boxcar and turned off ALL my facebook notifications, and ever since then, I have gotten a push notification EVERY time from facebook!! Now I'm getting double notifications - from FB and Boxcar. Three, if you count the email notifications I also get. It's annoying, but I'm afraid to turn Boxcar back off and go back to no notifications!

Memory management - HORRIBLE

This app ruins the Facebook experience. I now check Facebook LESS because of it. I can't have my phone locking up and crashing, and this app is doing that.

Also, as mentioned above - the default to Live Feed every time, rather than the top Friend list is also a terrible update.

Facebook - FIX IT!!!!

@fassy, I suggested that point to Jeremy and I stick by it (I might even have suggested "left users in the lurch", don't remember, but I stick by that as well.

Hewitt took his ball and went home, as he's well and entitled to do, but it wasn't the App Store that suffered (they just hit 3 billion downloads), it was Facebook's app and more importantly, the users of it.

Most of that is Facebook's fault for releasing a buggy app after losing their ace developer (where was the QA? Should have been extra special given the change in teams).

Apple also looks to have significantly sped up approvals, one of the main points of Hewitt's contention. Facebook 3.1.1 came up ultra-fast. The irony should not be lost.

Many devs turn out stellar work with the iPhone SDK within the App Store. If the App Store were to blame, all the apps would be disasters. That's certainly not the case.

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I, as is Jeremy, but users are more entitled to great apps from companies the size and scope of Facebook. App Store certainly still has plenty of those. Facebook's is the one derailed.

(And the link to Hewitt contains the story for anyone curious).

@Jeremy

"Hewitt left and the app fell apart"

All the more reason to mention what he left (iPhone development, not Facebook as you implied in the post) and why he left (dissatisfaction with Apple policies, not mentioned at all in the post). The tone of your post "left you in the lurch" (erroneously, IMHO) casts blame upon Hewitt, without even scratching the surface of the events.

1) Star developer embraces Objective C after playing with iPhone SDK tools and the iPhone platform, which he describes as excellent.

2) Said developer creates one of the most popular applications on the iPhone, while occasionally blogging about problems with App Store policies

3) After several well-received and robust releases, said developer quits iPhone development, and, when asked, cites App Store policies as the sole reason.

4) Said popular app's first release after developer stops iPhone work is buggy, as is an immediate point follow up release.

On this very blog, most posts on App Store policies attract a large slice of comments essentially saying "if a dev doesn't like Apple policies, leave, and good riddance -- the App Store will continue on just fine without you." The Facebook 3.1 saga suggests this may not be true after all.

This chain of events certain suggests that App Store policies were at least one proximate cause of the problems with 3.1, and any story pointing fingers about this release without mentioning these issues is, at best, incomplete.

By: fassy

fassy — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:37:34 +0000

While you link to your old article, it should have been worth reiterating in this post that Joe Hewitt did not leave Facebook, in the lurch or otherwise; he only left iPhone development because he felt Apple's policies made iPhone development not personally or professionally rewarding for him.

Whether or not one agrees with App Store policies and any benefits it may have, it is an inarguable data point that those same policies led to the departure of a talented developer from one of the most popular apps on the platform.

THANK YOU GUYS for pointing this!!!! its been days I was writing every where about it!!!

Well, at list I discover the names of the engineers that we have to complain with: on the Facebook IPhone pages there are Owen Yamauchi and Chris Pan working (BAD) on this app... I want them spanked if we dont get some fixxx soon!

When uploading pictures from the camera roll, it doesn't work. But if you try to upload them from a synced album other than camera roll, it works just fine. But trying to view any comments on that picture will still result in error.

push seems to be working now, with no sound though, no push when someone "likes" something of mine, and no badge for a new private message, assume photo bugs and crashing etc is unchanged

I don't want it to pull down facebook profile pictures for everyone in my contacts that has a facebook account. If I'm not friends with them i don't want their picture and large number of them aren't even right or the same picture appears for everyone from a particular domain. Just sync with my actual friends.

Also, if the Facebook app is giving me hell I use Echofon for Facebook. It's a nice, simple app.

I never turned Boxcar off. The second I realized there was no sound for the push's I turned off Facebook alerts. And for the contact syncing, I had long ago downloading FriendSync and have stuck with that too. They just released a 2.0 update and it is a great app. So Facebook 3.1 be damned, I'm sticking with Boxcar and FriendSync.

The worst thing for me is that contact sync completely corrupts the address book to the point that it then crashes beejive. And "deleting" the synced data doesn't properly clean it up either as one has to manually go and select apparently empty contact pictures to redelete them before beejive will work again.

I deleted facebook.app this morning, seems like m.facebook.com is a better option for now.

It would seem Facebook read your blog. Directly after reading this post, notifications started working again for me, sound and all.
