Freezes A LOT!
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...
