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.

This app has become unusable. I can't look at events, pages, I can't search, it randomly switches to a whole different language, it sometimes just won't let me tag anyone, and now it's doing this thing where I'll comment something and it will only shows the first letter of the comment and everything else disappears when I post it. This used to be a great alternative to the official Facebook apps, now it's trash. And the creator doesn't seem to give the slightest care. Been months of no change.

Latest update: FB has changed stuff and so SlimSocial also had to change. The display is not quite complete yet but it's still better than FB itself. Slim full display has details missing, and Slim Minimal has more complete details of items and choices, though more difficult to work with. FB on a cell phone is just awkward. Previous install: This does FaceBook, and does it so much better! Lets me choose how I browse and shows just the right amount of details.
