      Your Facebook app should work for you. It should be light, functional and beautiful. It should look how you want it to be accessible everywhere, with lightning fast launch speeds. Metal does this. And more.

      And now it supports Twitter, too. Two social networks, one tiny app.

      What is Metal?
      If you're looking for a battery efficient alternative to the Facebook app, Metal is for you. It's a Web wrapper with some awesome enhancements you don't get from just a browser like Notifications, Floating windows and Themes.

      Love Metal? Upgrade to Metal Pro for Facebook. Download it here:

      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nam.fbwrapper.pro

      * XDA App of the week
      * androidplanet.nl App of the Week

      instead of leaving a 1 star review. It helps me fix the problem and make it worth 5 stars to you!



      METAL BAR + METAL EVERYWHERE:
      Access your messages, news feed and notifications from anywhere effortlessly. Swipe down the notifications bar and tap an icon. Metal Everywhere opens, allowing you to browse Facebook in a convenient floating window, while you wait for a game to load or a photo to download.

      COMPLETELY AD-FREE:
      Metal is for you, forever. Enjoy Facebook without any advertisements, anywhere. It keeps your data usage low and your experience the best possible.

      (Facebook may offer you sponsored content as part of your feed)

      FIXED TOOLBAR & FULL SCREEN MODE
      More content, less distractions. Browse Facebook and Twitter with ease using Metal's enhancements.

      NOTIFICATIONS:
      Get notified from those you care about. Easy to set up and easy to use. Metal automatically obtains notifications from Facebook allows you to customise ringtone and vibration.

      THEMES & DARK MODE:
      Browse Facebook your way. Dark mode makes everything dark. Or use White, a flat and beautiful theme. Or use the default Facebook Blue.

      ALL YOUR FAVORITE FEATURES:
      It's light (Just 3MB), and supports data-saving features and Orbot/Tor.

      Metal is an alternative app and is no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook. "Facebook" is a trademark of Facebook, Inc.

      Nice app with a few minor shortcomings :) Black theme is great. Chat is awesome (hope it won't go down the same path as Tinfoil's). Would be nice to be able to choose to just get message notifications. Viewing pictures is better on Tinfoil (in Metal they are too small and it's annoying to have to view them in full screen mode, particularly when looking at an album). All in all - highly recommendable and better by far than the official app.

      Faster than Swipe, and way less intrusive and battery hungry than the official Facebook app. Has been glitching a lot lately. It won't let me open groups from the groups button, I have to search for them, and if I try to comment in a group or event page, it crashes. It also sometimes only posts the first few characters of a status update, if the post comes from an external share.
      Good alternative to the official Facebook application! After using it for quite some time, I've discovered several quirks that prevents full functionality. For example, when attaching JPEG images in comments they are interpreted as a video upload. The video upload fails and the user is notified. Forcing the app to view the Desktop version of the website is the only way to curcimvent this.

      FINALLY a facebook app that's a small download, doesn't demand much from RAM, is fast (almost as fast as accessing facebook via a browser), and performs very well. Only one complaint - the darned pop-up that asks for a rating. I waited almost 24 hours to rate. Except for it, the app is great!

      Great app if you want to toss the official Facebook and Twitter apps from your phone. Gained almost an entire gigabyte of space getting rid of those nasty spyware apps. Once I get some more money I will buy the pro version.

      Passable application if you don't want to install facebork. Has lots quibbles, perhaps you could call them bugs, with regard to usability with facebook. Can't copy text which is annoying

      This app is good. It's fast, light on memory, and does what you expect. One problem is that the dark theme isn't designed well... In some cases there's white text on white backgrounds (such as during a search or during notifications and error messages) ... How is anybody supposed to read that? Please fix the dark themes to get the fifth star.

      This app used to be the best alternative to the power hog Facebook app but it has gone downhill in the last year. Lately it crashes multiple times per day and multiple features are broken.

      Got this app as an alternative to the clunky and laggy Facebook app. So far, it feels more fluid and consistent. Happy with it so far. Also makes better use of my phone's high resolution display.

      I liked the app before the last update. What's up with the videos. Now I have to download the videos to watch it? No thank you, I'm a little paranoid of downloading anything. Please fix that. Glad the back button is working for viewing pictures though.

      There seems to be bugs in the page that links to groups / on this day / pages. I press the links and they don't open. I've been having to use a browser to reach them.

      Great simple way to message and read Facebook and twitter. Messenger and Twitter take so much room on the phone for no reason, plus you get to avoid all of those notifications and Messenger chewing your data up.
