Ratings and reviews

Update, spring 2023: the latest version, though, is a dumpster fire. Messaging won't work; dark mode is white text on a white background; I can't post from the app anymore because it loses focus somehow and instantly erases what I had typed. The display is now too large for my screen, and won't scroll. Ads are not suppressed. Waiting for another update, I guess. The history is solid. . Previous review: I first gave this app 5 stars, years ago. Subsequent versions are still just as good.

Dark mode is iffy, but glad it exists. Being able to increase font is a great thing. However, trying to join a group, and the submit button just doesn't work. Haven't tried messages, because it's not important to me. I wanted a client that would enable me to keep separate for joining groups, but seems this is not the one.

I like this app, but having trouble posting pictures to Facebook from my gallery. I can browse, I select a picture, but post button is grayed out. Also, having troubles accessing one of the pages I manage, and messages for that page. Just keeps loading messages page asking me to search for messages from friends, with a list of friends to click on, as suggestions, below. Confession, I do have an older android phone, but everything else works great.
