Ratings and reviews

Compared to the iPhone version, the android version leaks an important feature. Facebook market chat, it does not show the price of the item or anywhere to view the link. Especially for someone like me who sells multiple items. Sometimes people message, and I have no idea which item and the price I set. I have to go on the laptop or pc to check. It's very annoying. Update Facebook seems to have fixed the above issue. Fingers cross, next update does not break it.

The latest update is so glitchy, lost some features, won't open some chats and has sent messages to the wrong people! This has been a huge step backwards for what was a great App. Luckily nothing too sensitive got sent to the wrong recipient!! Not impressed! It's still quite good for chatting, video or just voice. But please rectify these issues. I have always enjoyed using this app before, but have lost trust for it now.

The new update has ruined this app. Messages keep dissappearing or being sent to random people. The app crashes multiple times and I have to restart it always. Marketplace listings do not show the price of the items and clicking the listing in the chat does no longer allow to open the ads, which makes it very difficult to keep track of what I am selling/buying. Utterly shocking.
