Ratings and reviews

The Lite version of the app is better than the full version. But Facebook itself is so bloated it's practically unusable. The worst part is that notifications seem to be completely broken. I only want notifications from a small, select group of my actual friends and groups that I care about. I can't get notifications for those. Instead I constantly get bombarded with nonsense notifications that I can't even disable properly because they're all mislabeled as Updates from Friends.

This app seriously pisses me off. I can't even begin to count how many times on numerous brands of phones, I have been in the middle of posting a reply to something, and it will just randomly restart, and everything I was about to post is lost. I would use a notepad app to mitigate this, but of course, it also doesn't let you run it in split window, and due to its annoying behavior, if you actually close it and open it up again, you won't have the same feed in front of you either. Grrrr!

The interface is better (cleaner, more visually appealing) than the full Facebook app, but it has issues. One of the biggest is that the "show most relevant first" option can be turned off in settings but the app still only displays a subset of comments, which can make it very frustrating and confusing when there's back and forth dialog in a thread of comments... they are out of order and maybe a third of the conversation is even visible. The post toggle for relevant vs all is missing entirely.
