Updated social networking app adds more features, but still isn’t perfect
In my review of Facebook 1.1(
), I was pretty impressed with the iPhone version of the social-networking site. With Facebook 2.0, the company has addressed some of the shortcomings of the first version, and added some additional features.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:
Wonderful!
Very nice integration of a web service onto the iPhone/iTouch platform. Ver. 3.0 addresses any and all of the previous issues.
Could be better
The app could be better. Now that there is a team of developers are working on it, maybe bugs will get fixed quicker.
Excellent App!
This application by Facebook feels like it belongs on the iPhone and iPod touch. My iPod touch would not be the same without the facebook app.
Amazingly in-depth free app!
Facebook for iPhone easily earns a five-star review. It allows users to do nearly everything they can on the full website (excluding applications like games) in a simple, streamlined experience. Facebook loads information and news quickly (although it's a little slow with pictures, putting emphasis on "A LITTLE!") and met all my expectations. The 3.0 update really put this app high above any others!
A bit annoying
The app is good and attractive but it crashes and gives me errors a lot when i use it. It is really simple to use and does everything Facebook is supposed to do. When I try to do a chat, sometimes it says that the message could not be sent at this time. I'm guessing that means they logged out but it still shows them as logged in. That's pretty much my only problem.
Entirely Adequate
The Facebook app is much better than the 1.0 versions. I use this app most days with no crashes. You have access to the major functions of facebook and no access to user-created applications, like Farmville. Notes, photos, events, messages, and chat are all accessible, even notifications. The user experience is excellent, with only a few limitations, such as being unable to process event or group requests. Friend requests still work, however. As a free application, this is recommended to all Facebook users.
better than i thought
i thought the upgrade was go be a few bug fixes and thats it but its a whole new app and i love it i mean its easy to use and whatever you need done you can do.
good
Staying Connected
This free download is a good app to have. It is an easy to use app that gives you the basic functionality you need on the go. Other than an occasional problem of getting my home page to update, this app has performed well.
Good for on the Go.
Facebook's app for the iPhone/iPod Touch is good for keeping up on the go. While it is a very much watered down version of the famous social networking site, it gets you what you need. Moving forward, Facebook really needs to overhaul the app if they are going to keep it up with how the main site is moving. But it is worth the FREE download.
If you love FB you need this app...
Everyday FB users this is the must have app for your iphone !
Great App!
I use the facebook app everyday. For the most part it does everything I need quickly. Only complaints would be that it constantly tells me I have mail in facebook even after I viewed them. There is no delete option in the mail. You cannot mark a photo as your primary but it does upload photo's easily.
A necessity for Facebook Addicts
Overall: A good app
This app kept me connected on Facebook. I could update my status and upload photo's. I could also add friends and accept friend requests. All my notifications are there. You can not use any of the applications though. That is pretty much the only downside.
It's almost everything need from FB on the iPhone
Fairly quick, pretty stable, and reads well. Things missing include; ability to "like" something, ability to be able to comment into an original post when clicking on an update from a subsequent poster-instead of taking you to the original, it takes you to that later poster's home page.
Great Facebook!
This is a great little Facebook app. It offers more functionality than the iPhone optimized web version and is much faster. Most functions/items are logically thought out and placed.
