Light and fast. I can now stay logged into FB all the time without tying up my main web browser or using the worrisome official Facebook app. SlimSocial has all the common functions that I regularly use.

Minor bugs here and there, but still serves it purpose. Consumes very less space compared to facebook app. Once you get the hang of the interface, you'd start liking it.

I wasn't about to install friggin Facebook messenger. (Or the Facebook app for that matter) this is perfect. Thank you so much for posting your code, too. When I open an image full screen it won't let me go back with the back arrow. I have to press the home button. Thanks.

I love this wrapper. Unfortunately it still has the bug where you can't go back after opening a photo to full size. Even after today's update.

Love this app! Occasional FB-er so this is great without having to worry about FB snooping on my phone.

I've been trying apps for FB in the last few months and this is the simplest lightest and best by far. Grazie mille Leonardo!

Everything I ever wanted from an FB app plus a few more I didn't realise I wanted until I found them on this.

Justin Reyes September 14, 2017

Good and fast, but it seems that the home page takes too long to load, and has nothing to do with my internet. Please fix asap

Martin Kloos August 24, 2017

Small and messenger in the same app. All it needs now are message notifications.

Tommy Pelumy September 25, 2017

Very good but the only problem i have is that i can't download video

The best app for fb Keep it up

Jamie Borg September 18, 2017

Loved this on Windows Mobile... Love it here.

Tihomir Raicevic September 11, 2017

Works pretty good.

Ramesh Seth September 16, 2017

Good app

Nikko Esteves May 3, 2017

I've been using this open source app long time since first release. As CROM maintainer, I highly recommend this app as alternative facebook app cuz gives me alot of battery backup without wakelocks. We're looking forward for your continues support and update for this lovely app. Thank a lot! Cheers!

Great app. 5 stars for being fast and having a small footprint without sacrificing too much functionality. For those that can't exit a full sized image, try a double or triple tap on the back button. This works most of the time for me without having to go back to the home page. Hopefully the devs can fix this; it does really hamper the experience.

Bianca Davison April 2, 2017

I've only just installed this app and all I can do is post. I cannot comment, go to other pages or groups, and I cannot even report the problem...it just keeps saying 'no internet connection'. This of course is rubbish as I can still post on there. My internet is working just fine, the app isn't.

Danielle Voiculescu April 12, 2017

I miss the older and simpler Facebook that actually worked and didn't take up too much space or drain my battery. This app gives me that. I prefer the regular Facebook app for posting, but this one is good for viewing and for checking Facebook messages without the stupid, poorly functioning Facebook messenger app.

Michael Phillips August 15, 2017

Pretty good. But constant, nonstop messages to long press a photo to download it long after this has already been done, and even after you exit the app, are a major irritation. May ultimately prove to be what makes me uninstall for something better.

Russ Richer May 3, 2017

MUCH better than having to use the overbloated fb app & messenger, this lets you use the mobile fb site but it works around all the glitches that they won't fix (cause they want you to use the app) AND it lets you check your messages. And it uses hardly any space, unlike the fb app & messenger that use like half a gig. LOVE IT.

Belen Zuñiga April 13, 2017

Excellent alternative for low resources phones. No ads, really light and fast. It would be great though to have the option to save data compressing images, instead of just not downloading them. Thank you! :)

✨💖✨ ~The Only Three Minor Complaints I Have Are : 1.) It Takes A Bit Of A Long Time To Load...2.) The Animated Stickers And GIFS Don't Appear Animated For me... And 3.) When You Refresh Your Notifications It Takes You Back To Your Home Page.....Other Than That.. I Love It..!!! ✨💖✨😀😀😀

Absolute waste of time. Text entry doesn't work properly and you waste so much time trying to scroll to the write section. Add a photo and it states that it is adding video then doesn't complete. As the main Facebook app is so necessarily bloated and now censored, time to find an alternative social media platform!

Yves August 21, 2017

Useless. It was really great for a while, but it got even slower, crashes on a regular basis and is frustrating to use now. Into the trash bin with you!

Sir Laq May 31, 2017

Ok, it has been great long time but since I updated to Nougat 7.1.1 I can't add attachments to messages and if I choose "show in full size" from any pic I can't go pack. I have to return to front page to get out.

CJ Davis July 21, 2017

This is a great app. I would have given it 5 stars but once you view a full image you can't go back to the previous page. You have to either select message or the home button. If this feature was added it would complete this being the best Facebook alternative app.

William Braithwaite April 23, 2017

I was fed up with FB continually freezing. This is much better.

Vlad Jennings June 7, 2017

I have been using this now for quite some time. maybe around a year. this is by far the best stand-alone Facebook app out there. others will still run in the background. this app never runs unless you open it, that's the way it should work! that is the reason why I use this, to save battery and it does that very good. I recommend this app to friends and family all the time. keep up the work and thanks for a great app.

Gideon Funyufunyu April 8, 2017

Faster than everything I tried, smooth. I hate watching a loading page. I wish the developer can have similar app for twitter.

Mal Caporn May 25, 2017

Whenever I view a photo in full size now, I can't back out. I have to close the app and start again

Kevin Pease March 8, 2017

Seems to work better than the other web app program I was using. The settings part is awesome less ads!

Brett Michael Winston Te May 2, 2017

Keeps on saying no internet connection everytime i click the comments section. What's going on?

Andrew Beck August 15, 2017

this is without a shadow of a doubt the best alternative fb app out there... it may be basic but that's what puts it miles ahead of the many others i've tried... and i've tried metal, facebook lite, fast for facebook etc etc- and the small size of this app makes it much much less of a battery and cpu hog than the other alternatives and defo fb's official (cr)apps, which is what you want on a smaller mobile device... i'm tempted to make a generous donation when I get paid! keep up the good work!

You guys need to get rid of the caller ID add on, it gets in the way if my actual call software doesn't allow me to pick up the phone.

jeaHAvee jGRight May 6, 2017

I find it strange that when I check my notifications, click one, and go back from that notification; I end up at the newsfeed instead of back at the notification list. I think that's the only thing that bothers me. App is my main Facebook alternative for now.

Hanna Edwards April 4, 2017

Used it for a long time on my other phone happily and am installing it again on my new phone as i found nothing better. I like the integrated messenger and am actually happy that no one can call me via it.

K3 Note March 14, 2017

Great app but messenger doesnt work good and the hughe text is not big at all

MITCH LI May 19, 2017

Why "try to check the connection and refresh " pops out when I go back to original page after browsing link in Facebook

Robbie Noche April 26, 2017

I loved it. Had regular Facebook and then had this app. Noticed the difference within the first five minutes. Yes, loading pictures does take longer. But it is worth have the lighter version. Used this app for nine months.
