Friendly Social Browser App Reviews

BEST APP EVER INVENTED!!!!!! Prevents so much hassle, merges all of your social media into one single app and allows you to use Instagram and Facebook including Facebook messenger all in one! With a security passcode too??!!! AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH! So glad someone thought of this.

I used to love this app but for the past three days this same annoying video ad keeps popping up every 3 minutes. Ive never minded the ads but an invasive video ad that pops up at full volume so frequently is too much. Its become so annoying Im going to stop using the app :(

I would buy the ad-free version in a heartbeat if the app actually gave me notifications. I have them set to on in settings. Instead it will randomly notify me when there isnt even a notification.

Ive been using Friendly instead of the official Facebook app for a couple of years. I greatly appreciate its small footprint, efficient use of my phones resources and its integrated messenger feature. However, it now seems to be vulnerable to a form of ad spamware called mobieblitz that comes through the 4G connection in Australia. I hope the developers find the code loophole and close it. Otherwise, I highly recommend trying it. You may like using it too.

Edited rating after using for a week or two... Great concept but it is so glitchy that it really takes away from the experience. Errors loading, posting multiple times, notifications dont appear correctly, freezing, crashing... bah. Horrible.

This is a great app. So far so good!

Pros: - defaults to Most Recent news feed view, something the true fb app refuses to implement. - gets less newsfeed data at a time, which can be good if you have a limited data plan. Cons: - if you enter a status update and scroll too far up to review it, it will assume you want to refresh, thus losing your post. - changing orientation usually makes the app unresponsive, you have to kill it and start over. - does not support alternate keyboards.

Its a good app, just needs more work. It gets buggy when trying to play video in full screen. Also, if you turn it sideways, it stays that way and wont turn back.

I paid for this hoping it will start working better but that was a big mistake do not pay for this notifications totally not working and the app crashes many times

I dont purchase apps but I did purchase this one because it worked so darn good I couldnt believe it. Like it says, all in one. No more facebook AND messenger app = no more collection of all your phone data by the Facebook spys. No more running you phone battery dead, Etc....

I love the back to top no need to scroll all the way up. I alsolike ad removalsby the app. I would like to see improvement on browsing multiple pictures. Currently i dont see a way to swipe to the next photo, i have tox or swipe down the photo to close and then tap on another photo to enlarge the photo. It has gotten better andfaster. Pls continue improving. Need to have a messenger app interface as an improvement. Like the color theme, cool.

The free version has built-in ads that are blatantly designed to obstruct the tool bar so you cant see if you have new messages, notifications or friend requests. These advertisements often cause the app to freeze. It is not uncommon to have to close the app completely and reopen it six or seven times in an hour. And yes, youll be on there an hour. Just to make one comment sometimes. The main reason the app freezes so much is that every time you click any link it opens a new tab. Click a notification, you have a new tab. Click the next notification, you have a new tab. Click another notification, another tab. Youll have sixty tabs open before you know it. And each one is trying to update itself constantly. Then one of those advertisements pops up and the whole thing just dies. You also cannot view "live videos" in this app. It will pop up saying they are not supported. Another problem is that uploading photos does not work. You can select photos, it will upload them but then you click the blue "PREVIEW" button and it doesnt do anything. The button changes colors indicating it was pressed, but it makes no effort whatsoever to load the next page in the process where you can add comments. There is only one reason to get this app: because Facebook, in a blatant act of hostility towards its users, requires a separate app for messages. You cant even use Safari as a work around anymore. That said, the functionality of the free version of this app is so bad that the paid version cannot possibly be any better and I will not be spending money on it. As soon as a better alternative comes along, Ill be getting rid of this. On a side note: it is amazing to me that with all these people out there complaining about corporate greed and insisting that good stuff be made for free that none of them have designed an app for this that is 100% free...

I downloaded this to try it out because the facebook app irritates the heck out of me. Well, this one with the incessant popups is even more annoying. With the features it has, it really has promise, but I only used it for 2 minutes before I decided to go back. Id be willing to pay for ad-free if it didnt blast me with 10+ ads in under 2 minutes of initial use. If your business model is to irritate me into paying, Id rather just use the official fb app and deal with its issues.

I like this app. Its easy to use and you can link FB and Instagram.

I gave it a try for a few days, I liked the idea of having it all in one app but I kept missing my friends messages without the alerts. Ive also tried viewing video streaming but I was told I needed Facebook to view them. Im going to uninstall this app.

Battery life is good and I can use messenger. Only issue, and its not big to me, because facebook is a huge bag of dicks, is I dont get notifications. Banners or badges.

Used app for a bit, lots of good things, but I do everything necessary to receive notifications for example turning on background refresh and still not receiving notifications. Please fix or lower the price of your app. Thanks.

Have been using this app for years and overall and excellent app. Some of the bug issues are happening with the updates. Please fix: - on scrolling and tapping a post to continue reading the full screen, it automatically takes me to the top of the screen and I have to scroll back down (super annoying if it is 20 scrolls down to find it again!) Same situation happens if I want to tap a post to comment. Please fix! - Would love to edit my comments on posts!! I can edit my own posts but not on other people/pages post. Please fix. Thank you!

Ive been using this for a couple years with no big problems. Today I go to open it, and it looks like a web site that has bad code. Nothing but links for notifications, and no newsfeed to speak of. Please fix this!

Its an overall great app except when Im on my newsfeed or log out i dont get any notifications. Other then that this app seems to be pretty useful.
