About this app

Your social media app should work for you. It should be light, functional and beautiful. It should look how you want it and 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.

If you're looking for a battery efficient alternative to the official 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.

Ratings and reviews

Waaaay too keen to refresh when you scroll up. If you're editing a post, be prepared to lose it without warning as you try to scroll to the top of the text you've entered, only to be summarily redirected to a blank page because the app thought you wanted to refresh. The editing box itself also needs to be twice the size. Apart from that it's a good app.

It worked fine for a long time. Then suddenly, a few days ago, when I opened it, it appears they forced an update- despite my having turned off autoupdates. Which is weird, b/c the page here claims the last update was 2018. But my app looks totally different. Now I have no ability to make separate lines in direct messages. Every time I hit the enter key, it sends the message instead of just going to the next line. Even if I hold shift then press enter, it still just sends. It's maddening.

It's way more buggy version 9.0, maybe partly because FB keeps changing too. But none of the photos I save actually save. It shows "saved to downloads" but is absolutely nowhere to be found. Saving on a browser still works so I don't know what you developers broke? And now the app jumps all over the place while navigating between pages and scrolling, and sometimes the reaction buttons don't pop up. The header on every screen except the home screen blocks out the icon bar on top and the menu button, so I can't share the page or anything. It's either FB and/or the developer fell off the wagon, but since it works better in the browser, it might be time to ditch this thing.
