    It's very buggy. Impressively poor given the scale of the company involved. It is improving though, slowly.

    Things like clicking twice, going back and trying a second time, etc, usually work for me. I'd still take the app over the mobile website.

    M.Facebook.com for me. Don't like any of the Facebook apps. Friendcaster pro for uploading pics and that's about it.

    I have noticed since the last update that the app is pretty poor alright.

    I agree that since the last update it's been terrible.

    When I used to get to the bottom of my status updates, it would take a second to load, then continue as normal. Now when it loads, it goes back to the very top of the updates and you have to scroll the whole way back down. Minor problem but a big pain in the hole.

    Yeh mine started with that, now it just wont load at all. Wont load news feed, or walls.

    I do think its weird i still get the notifacations from the app. and can go onto friends info screens. Terrible for it to be such dirt.

    I have yeh, and installed newest update yesterday and uninstalled all updates today. It wouldnt annoy me as much if it never worked but it did and was nice and handy with tagging and places/pics etc.

    I know what yee mean about just using the browser, just grates on me that the bloody thing wont work.

    I had the same issue about a month ago. Cleared cache, uninstalled all updates, turned off phone, re-installed latest update & it was slow to start up, but it has worked fine since...

    Tried using it once, found it a pain to navigate through. I thought the only upside to it was viewing pictures at better sizes, as opposed to on the mobile site where they are literally squashed.
