Downloaded also. Is it just me, or does it kinda...suck? I can't even figure out how to search for a friend.
its version 1.0 im pretty sure there will be plenty of updates to catch up to other facebook apps
relax!
its finallly here!
i like it so far!
I dont know why but I always havr FC when trying to launch the app.
Anyone else haveing the same issue?
i like it, great start. widget is bit ugly, they could do to mimick the sense ui twitter widget. but im happy
It's funtional. It is a shame you can't view galleries or search for people, but it's a good start.
The Facebook Live Contacts Folder integration is awesome! It's a shame it's limited to 125 people and you can't search.
**EDIT** Also, has anyone uploaded a photo yet? Is it incredibly small?
This is NOT developed by Facebook. Click to view the developers link and it goes to a Facebook page that says "this application was not developed by Facebook"
gonna stick to bloo for a little while longer..
After reading as much info as I could find about the app, it seems Google was behind developing it but they were given access to the API's by Facebook. I was able to sign in without having to give the program special permissions, so even if it isn't developed by Facebook, it seems to be closely tied to Facebook. I guess this is as "official" of an app as we are going to get.
It's an OK start but really needs search capability...
I'm glad I can comment on feed updates - that was sorely missing on the x.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com web apps.
As far as 1.0 releases are concerned it's pretty damn solid.

touche. be it as it may, this app is definitely streamlined and to the point. i wish it had a little more functionality, but this is definitely a SOLID base to build upon

c'mon the widget isnt that bad but i agree they should take some pointers from the htc developers
Good Lord people. Stop comparing this to the Facebook app on Hero. We will never see that level of integration on a Google build. Never. The only reason you saw it was because HTC built the contacts and dialer apks from the ground up. Google is not going to open source either of those. That level of modification and app building is not going to happen on a 3rd party level. It's just too much work for too little of a return.
I don't know about you guys but I really like it.
FINALLY!!! long over due, like it so far
I notice that we're not able to upload videos, view albums, and search friends with this official app.
i actually think its pretty ****ing great to tell you the truth
i agree its pretty solid in my opinion, plus i love the widget!

i think the title speaks for itself to be honest but basically i find Twidget so useful for keeping up to date with Twitter so i would like to know if a dev out there is interested in making a very similer widget for the Facebook news feed allowing you to view the last 20 items or so and commenting or 'liking' your friends posts.
im willing to donate and even put my hands onto Photoshop if required ,though my skills are rather mediocre
so who's interested?
EDIT: Made some mock ups in PS to add visual ponder to my idea!

Would actually be nice to have a Facebook Widget considering there isn't a native Facebook Application that works well. Would be nice to have a Digg one too
But yeah with Facebook it would be nice to have something akin to Twidget, long as its all secure.
Yup I think this is defiantly needed, the hard thing is doing it in a small place. I mean it'd be nice to have one like the twitter widget on Hero but this would be hard for most users with 3 home screens. And as Neo said we still do need a facebook application that runs smooth also as this hasn't really been addressed yet. I'm hoping you find a developer that will hop on board with this.

im hoping so too, i think it would be a great addition to anyones home screen and especially if it was in the style of Twidget which only takes up 1x4 spaces of home screen real estate and displaying the latest update and then opening up to a larger app when pressed.
widgets are our friends and also our biggest kick in the face to iphone users, a full customisable desktop is one of the things that makes Android so great!
where we can find this widget?

I'm using your app, it's pretty nice. I have a couple of suggestions.
First, the panorama on the first screen seems unnecessary, and makes it somewhat difficult to see shirtaday, about, and dailysteal. Maybe a vertical StackPanel inside a ScrollViewer would work better.
Second, when something is clicked, I immediately see the literal words "Item Name" and other placeholders that change once the data is loaded. The change between those placeholders and the real data is a bit jarring. I'd recommend a simple PerformanceProgressBar in the middle of the page until you have all the data, at which point you can safely display it.
These are only suggestions, feel free to ignore them Again, it's a nice app.
First and foremost THANK YOU for the feedback and constructive criticism.
I have had a rough bout getting v1.1 passed through cert, but it does include less jarring transitions, and a progressbar on each deal page for loading. I am also aware of the placeholder names, and that is on the roadmap to get rid of in the fit and polish section of my big OneNote file I have for this app
The Panorama issue was brought to my attention by another trial user. I tested it with both the trial and purchased app and have found it has something to do with the size of the panorama when the app has the ad bar on the bottom. The paid version kills the add and gives you a 3 row view, and it scrolls much nicer. The reason I went this route was for future deals it would be easy and natural to extend the pano indefinitely. That can always change – im not married to it, just like the way it looks.
Hahaha, I know how enticing a panorama control is I used it in the unreleased version of ArkWords with the beta tools. In the end, I went with a pivot, which functioned better. A pivot wouldn't work well in your case, though. Thanks for the quick reply!
My other app, BART Live (http://bit.ly/BARTLive) uses Pivot really well I think. Once there is more content, I belive the Pano will work well creating a wall of deal site icons. If I have to ditch it, I will. It currently housing a WrapPanel with a custom template that I probably should have made into a button template, but I'm a noob
And I am doing my best to reply to feedback as quick as possible. Its intresting to be on this end of the app scene and having so many avanues of contact. Makes having a smartphone super handy.
I currently have a facebook, twitter, email, and now these forums, for both apps.
Ah, good luck juggling all of that! And good luck with your apps
Thanks for the feedback and intrest. keep an eye out for v1.1!
Who uses iGoogle? Please contribute if you can or move right along. Thanks.
So iGoogle will discontinue on Nov 1, 2013. I really like iGoogle and how it has pretty much everything I need in one click. I like my home page to show stocks, Gmail, news, TV, especially calendar and others. Does anybody know how I can get another Home Page to look like this? http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5310/igooglestart.jpg Maybe Chrome widget, etc. ? Anybody? Thanks.

Hopefully in the next 16 months they will release something better, maybe they are just prepping for a new homepage for Chrome that is basically the same thing.:fingers crossed:
Kind of looks like my desktop. Constantly refreshes too.
I took the plunge today and tried Netvibes. I like it a lot, but I've only got RSS feeds (except the BBC News app). It does have a ton of widgets as well, so have a look and see what you think. Here's my initial setup...
Nice. I could resort back to my.yahoo.com but it doesn't have Google products integration. And yes, hopefully they'll come up with something better within a few months.
I'm pretty sure Google got sued by Apple for using the "i" in the name. lol

lol, yeah I heard they will be releasing a ota patch soon that takes away half of the functionality so they can continue to provide the service.
iDon't use iGoogle so I gues its iOK.

That is one great looking desktop. Nice job.
Anyway OP, though my homepage defaults to iGoogle, I rarely stay on it long enough. So I doubt I'll miss it that much.
Well, you have over a year to find an alternative. Check one of the other search engines. Perhaps they might be able to provide an alternative.

Saw this today and thought of this thread.
Good morning everybody
First of all I am sorry for I do not know where to post such a thread which is related to only theming, if so this is the wrong place I request the moderators to please move it to the correct section. Thank you
With all the flat icon theming going on and themes, Lockscreens & Homscreens being set up based on Google UI I was thinking "Why not have Facebook widget in GOOGLE UI???"
everybody uses Facebook and everyone likes Google ui. I myself recently setup my homescreen by following the "post your home screen shot" thread which lead me to setup my home screen with playbar and motif clock etc but the Facebook widget I use is from Wizz which looked really out of place and thus leading me to this idea of creating a widget theme.
I wanted to try this for myself but I don't know where and how to start though I am pretty sure there are gifted themer's and developers out there who can do better than me.
If so you follow what I am trying to convey, please let me know what you think about it.
Thank you very much
Update:
Here is what my imagination made it look like {illustrative purpose only}
This is my self imagines FB widget not to be mistaken for full FB app

I am pretty sure this is some crap version of google ui i try to made and am sure that someone here can make it look more original and make it into a excellent working theme
Just posting another one for further clarification

We really need a good facebook widget. Android Pro Widgets or Wizz Widgets are good but seem kinda outdated.
Something like Falcon Widget but for Facebook with your design would totaly blow it away!

Thank you very much for the reply
Unfortunately i am neither a developer nor a theme designer.
The code looks like all gibberish to me and makes no sense and i am practically a noob at photoshop and other image editing softwares. All the above that you see was done from a little experience and a lot of google.
But since i think this project holds quite a potential.
I will try to see if i can do something about it
Yeah there needs to be someone who knows how to code, I can't...
Imagine a widget with the performance of Falcon but withyour design and facebook. How great!
