Updated Facebook App Optimized for New iPad Coming?

Maybe if they fixed the bugs while they were at it I'd get excited.

I don't care about Retina support when the app itself is just abysmal. Terrible interface and functionality. It's better to just open Safari instead.

It's ridiculous how the Facebook app, that is to 90% an app wrapping a web browser (you can compare the similarities at http://touch.facebook.com yourself), can still have so many bugs.

For example, if I browse photos on Facebook for iPad, I can only "like" or comment the first one. After that, I need to exit the photo viewer, and re-open it again. It's also unstable when viewing photos in the first place. Sometimes it just crashes. Also, no timeline, and missing tons of Facebook features on the website. Not sure you can even remove friends from the app, or subscribe to people, or arrange friend lists... It isn't even translated properly - the localized version I use is a mix of my native language and English.

In short, an utterly horrible app for having Facebook's resources. Companies with five iOS developers have done better than them.

Retina support is far from the greatest feature it's missing.

I hope they get a move on. Retina support will make viewing photos really nice on the new iPad.

They *should* be adding Timeline support to the iPad app in this update as well.

I love my iPad 2, but Facebook on iPad has been one of the major disappointments; especially considering how damn long it took for them to roll out the app; and how many subpar experiences I had prior to the app's release, using both paid and free 3rd-party facebook apps.

In a typical week, or even a typical day, i probably have to...

A. use the Facebook app to do SIMPLE things iOS Safari can't do on Facebook.
B. use iOS Safari to do SIMPLE things i can't do on the Facebook app.
C. give the f#%+ up, and use Splashtop (amazing app btw) to run Safari on my iMac to view Facebook.

i mean... what the...?!!

Where is the Tumblr app for the iPad?

For such an innovative company, it's stunning they don't get the power of native apps, and are trusting crappy 3rd party apps with their brand experience.

Probably someone on their Board or management team has some ideological issues and still doesn't get that native apps are going win, at least in the short term.

I don't want a better spyware app from Facebook.

Come on Tumblr. Get with this century.

Maybe if they fixed the bugs while they were at it I'd get excited.

Yeah hope they re-wrote the bloomin' thing. It's terrible. You'd expect something better now from a company as big as Facebook.

Well it's about time as the current version is completely outdated, timeline doesn't work, live chat doesn't work as well, since timeline introcution...

Maybe if they fixed the bugs while they were at it I'd get excited.

Second that...

FaceBook is the worst app ever designed for iOS. Take your pick, the iPad or iPhone versions, they are both completely rubbish. How about they get off their asses and make a decent app!
