Great app Just to let you know it works well on my HTC mini 2 I would give it 5 stars but there is only one home screen an when I click on more apps it goes back to the HTC BlinkFeed which is ok but would be good if it could be I incorporated into the Facebook home launcher.

Greet app But from Facebook that just this month bought what's up I expected for an update for home, that will make it less consuming for the Battery and that will make the deal with what's up more worthwhile, if you will do this things I will give you the full respect and the 5 stars.

Great but bugs! Please fix! Love it! However, it keeps crashing Everytime I try and comment on something. Would be great to Akzo have the option to open the post on Facebook app.
Dominik Piaszczyk
Not working HTC One Max, constantly 'you need to update your Facebook app to use Home'. Latest Facebook app with no option to update in market,problem persists even after reinstalling both apps. If it works, I'll rate again.
Ben Volanz

Carlos Gonzalez
Bugged. Whenever i try to view comments, it crashes. Also, stuck on updating the feed. Aaalso, I miss being able to like instagram pictures; why did you remove that?
User reviews
Okay but... Cover Feed would be a GREAT concept if they didn't insist on making out into a Ken Burns documentary slideshow... It says "browse" items but that's not possible when it takes those items and applies stupid zoom-and-pan effects! Notifications on the lock screen would be nice to open with a single tap instead of tap and "tap again to open." Fix those problems and this would be a 5-star app!
Nice idea but... The concept of the app is great, unfortunately it consumes so much resources and drain your battery, plus sometimes it just doesn't launch when you wake up the phone and you see the classic lock screen. All of this on a nexus 4... This app in a low end phone must be a headache, anyway on a high end phone it's acceptable.
Solid lockscreen Update: Knocked off a star - the music controls lag and twice started playing music on its own after stopping the music, possibly due to the lag. This is a solid lockscreen. The images appear in good quality and it displays music controls as well as album art. Only issue is that it sits on top of stock lockscreen, so when you unlock this, you still have to unlock the other lockscreen, unless you disable the stock one entirely. Would love other image sources like 500px or NatGeo and built in security.
Great app still can do so much better This app provides a great way of staying connected with FB However it still has a lot of room for improvement It can be more pleasing ti the eye and can also provide added functionality along with widgets and ability to customise stuff It would be better if it went in sync with HTC's stock lockscreen
probably one of the stupidest ideas ever... This app basically allows anyone who has your phone (whether it was lost, found, stolen, or borrowed) able to see your friends facebook posts and comment on your behalf. all for the convenience of being able to see your posts on the lock screen. laziness is not a virtue. This app poses a serious security issue.
Love The lock screen, hate the launcher. I think it's a innovative idea and I like it, though just the lock screen. The Launcher it's simple awful. Plus, It would be nice if you can put a type of security when you unlock the device. Sure you can use the Android ones,but it just looks bad. And add a customize wallpaper that's not of photos from my Facebook.
What's New

• Swipe down to unlock

DashClock Facebook Extension
DashClock Facebook Extension is an extension for DashClock that allows you to quickly see your latest facebook notifications on your lock screen. You can either view messages or notifications or both configurable through preferences.
When you login, first I request the read_mailbox permission to get your inbox unread count, and then I request the manage_notifications permission, these permissions must be requested separate because one is read and the other is publish. My app only reads messages/notifications. I do not use these permissions to publish anything to your facebook feed.
Not Logged In
If after update you may see this message. If you do try to logout and back in via settings or also clear app data through the Android Settings. This should clear up this issue.
Open Source
Dashclock Facebook Extension has been open sourced and published on Github!

MB Notifications for Facebook
REALLY IMPORTANT: If you have any issue, things don't work as you expected or whatever else, please don't complain on the market since I have no way to help you out there.
Tutorial: http://mikebannion.altervista.org/tutorial.html
Let's face it, when it comes to Android, whether you like the official Facebook application or not it has one major flaw: no notifications! And this is even more true when you don't use any app for Facebook at all but just the browser, and yet want to keep updated. I frankly hate this: why would you have to check for updates yourself when you could get automatically notified whenever a notification from your Facebook account arrives, just as iPhone users do?
I decided to solve this issue for my own convenience, and so this is where this app chimes in: a lightweight and fast application to get notifications from Facebook, what you decide, at the interval you decide and reported as you decide. Nothing else, just as plain and simple as effective! Choose between general notifications, private messages, friend requests, events, birthdays, pokes, online friends and lost friendships and decide how to view the notifications:
* directly in the app, with the ability to like/comment/share/reshare/RSVP;
* open it in the official Facebook app;
* open it in FriendCaster (Free or Pro) if installed;
* open it in Seesmic, if installed;
* open it in Facebook Stream for Android, if installed;
* open it in the browser (full view, Touch or WAP version);
* or just open any other app you have installed (just opening the main activity of app, no custom behaviour)
The service can be started automatically at boot if you want, and a 1x1 widget is provided as well to explicitly request new notifications should you want to. 1x1, 2x1 and 4x1 widgets are also available to show counters of unread notifications. (NOTE: the widgets will NOT work if you move the app to SD). Notifications can be received in the notifications bar and as popup dialogs (by also unlocking and/or waking the screen, if necessary). Details on all the required permissions are at the end of this page.
Other features include: newsfeed, walls, pages, groups, checkin, photo/video upload and much more!
IMPORTANT: the app only gets NEW and UNREAD notifications, meaning it won't download, for example, all the notifications you already saw before launching the app or between refreshes.

Instantly reach the people in your life—for free. Messenger is just like texting, but you don't have to pay for every message (it works with your data plan).
Not just for Facebook friends: Message people in your phone book and just enter a phone number to add a new contact.
Group chats: Create groups for the people you message most. Name them, set group photos and keep them all in one place.
Photos and videos: Shoot videos and snap selfies or other photos right from the app and send them with one tap.
Chat heads: Keep the conversation going while you use other apps.
Free calls: Talk as long as you want, even with people in other countries. (Calls are free over Wi-Fi. Otherwise, standard data charges apply.)
Even more ways to message:
Bring your conversations to life with stickers.
Preview your gallery photos and videos without leaving the conversation--then choose the perfect ones to send.
Record voice messages when you have more to say.
Extra features:
Know when people have seen your messages.
Forward messages or photos to people who weren't in the conversation.
Search for people and groups to quickly get back to them.
Turn on location to let people know when you're nearby.
See who's available on Messenger and who's active on Facebook.
Create shortcuts to get to any conversation right from your home screen.
Turn off notifications when you're working, sleeping or just need a break.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.

Slingshot

Slingshot lets you quickly share moments—little and big—with lots of people at once.
Shoot a photo or video of what you’re up to and sling it to a bunch of friends. You can choose whether to make your shot locked or unlocked. If you sling a locked shot, friends won’t be able to see it until they sling something to you. Tap on a shot to react, or simply swipe it away.
• Keep up with friends: Sling a shot whenever you have something to share
• Send a quick reply: Respond to any shot with your reaction
• Enjoy it while it lasts: Once you swipe a shot away, it’ll no longer be viewable
• Get creative: Express yourself with captions and drawings
• Look when you want: View shots later if you’re busy
Download now and give it a, uh, shot.
