Facely HD for Facebook + Social Apps Browser Reviews

I love with what y'all are doing with FacelyHD. I just purchased it today and love it it's absolutely better than the original Facebook app. the only down fall that, I don't like is, I wish the icons up top for the newsfeed, friend request & the chat etc. would stay still so, I wouldn't have to refresh and then be able to see new notifications etc. but like I said FacelyHD. is awesome and I'd be more then happy to tell my friends about FacelyHD. y'all keep up the great work.

I just wrote a review and FacelyHD is great but only needs a few revisions to be perfect. My Adblock used to work great but isn't now. Please fix Adblock to work!!

Please add lock screen notifications to FacelyHD as well as lock screen widgets. Thanks!!!!

What happened first version like font change and color. Now it's mixed up !!!

I can’t post pix ....wth?

GREAT APP BUT NEEDS UPDATING TO 64 Bit,

NOW! בובי

With every new update, things are added and bugs fixed while other things are simply improved. The customization is brilliant, the chat is surprisingly good (though I have a separate app for that), and though it's not perfect there are no major bugs to complain about. It might crash every now and again, but at least it doesn't happen all the time.

I have one big suggestion to improve FacelyHD : if we have pages on Facebook, we should be able to switch to our pages' profiles to use instead of our regular profile, like on the desktop Facebook. Please add that! I'm not sure how difficult it would be, but I'd love it.

Thanks for your hard work that has been put into FacelyHD, and keep improving it! It's a great app! :)

FacelyHD does a lot of things the regular FB app doesn't do. But, it must be VERY hard to make a good mobile FB app. They're all terrible. FacelyHD has odd issues with a long list of things. Resizing at odd times that requires you to pinch it back into place. The Comment button and Done button overlap and behave like 2 Done buttons. Sometimes comments and likes just disappear completely. Sometimes they show up magically much later. Sometimes not. The nav bar on photos refuses to hide. FacelyHD crashes, and of course it's always after you spent 5 minutes typing something - Gone. And if I have stare at "Personalizing Experience" for another minute I'm going to gag. It's loading. Fine. "Loading" it is then. When a cashier is counting my change s/he is not "personalizing my transaction experience." Neither is FacelyHD. If you're going to "personalize my experience" you better work at a resort and carry towels and massage oil.

Rather than bash, I waited fir the update. I was caught. FacelyHD worked, then stopped. But I went to the home page and saw where the developers said a Facebook update they didn't know was coming caused FacelyHD to break. Working for a software company I understand that soft wear will always have a bug. But those bugs get fixed. U just have to be patient. So for those that don't just download apps without reading he 'most recent' reviews..especially before they download to their precious iPads, FacelyHD is one to get!!!! Works fantastic and makes the Facebook experience on the iPad great. A mist download. Also, a big thanks to the developers who worked to correct the problem!!! I don't usually write reviews and hopes this helps somebody!

This is a great app for the iPad because it displays in HD. The layout is relatively straight forward and you can access most normal features on Facebook. One thing I noticed is the inability to get to pages you like quickly and easily. Also, you can't get to notes or discussions on these place pages. Most people don't really care about this problem but another thing I noticed is that it can take FacelyHD a minute or so to fully load, so its in a weird format when you first open it up. It also frequently gets confused about whether or not you have viewed your inbox messages. You can't rotate pictures either. Overall though, for basic everyday use, I like FacelyHD , being able to personalize it is a nice touch and its the only app I use for Facebook.

I bought FacelyHD about a month a go, it was ok. At least the basic functions were working. My internet connection is really good and the iPad is new and working perfectly. Two weeks a go started to crash, change my words, post my own picture on my friend's wall during the night , actually i was sleeping when that happened. Finally, the most ...after write posts or messages when i tap to post it all my writing is delete from the page and it goes back to the page i was reading before.I can't try anymore, is ridiculous ...What happen? Why is down-dating when suppose to update? How can you guys let things like that happen?
I did everything I could to make this thing work including delete and reinstall it.I Tried to change my profile picture many times and still trying without success.
...I'm out! Thx

FacelyHD is almost perfect but it has a bug or two. For instance, my friends "all photos" page has 272 photos. I bring up the big grid of all Rhodes photos and I swipe my finger to look down the list, but halfway down, the photos all disappear and it says "no photos". Every....single......time!! Anyone else check this out and see if it changes your review.

And also, when your going through a long list of grid photos, and you click on one to look at it full screen, you can use the back button to go back to the grid of photos. That's great but it keeps starting me off at the top of the photo grid. So I have to keep swiping down and down just to get back to the photo I stopped at.

Finally I can't post a photo on any friends page!!! What the heck?? I had to go back to the friendly app to do it.

The layout is very good and it is easy to find things. Very useable and I mostly like it better then the default Facebook app. 2 things drive me a bit nuts, though. Firstly, sometimes when you finish viewing a picture that someone has posted, it jumps back up to the top of the updates instead of remaining where it was. Also, scrolling could be a lot better. Right now it seems like it takes forever to scroll down to the bottom of a list of status updates. Even more frustrating when added to the first issue that I mentioned.

8/8/11 (update) the back (or home button) doesnt work that well. When you view media within a group it doesn't take you back to the "Group" homepage... But to the Facebook homepage. I could just have fat fingers too but if that's the case I recommend you changing the button to two separate buttons
(update) still no easy access to groups but FacelyHD is more stable now after the new update...
(old) FacelyHD is cool for basic FB functions, but what would really make FacelyHD better would be bookmarks/favorites and groups. It's hard to currently see/ find groups when there not in the news feed. The bookmarking would be a nice bonus (not really a bonus because FacelyHD by Facebook has it already) but it would be nice not to have to do a search to find the ppl I talk to most...

Seems to me FacelyHD is taking a progressive turn for the worst, each update or change and you lose your ability to manipulate your facebook like you could before. For example.. I can no longer delete comments and posts I don't want on my profile. Now I have to go on the actual website to edit it...rendering FacelyHD useless to me. On the note of using the regular web site, when I chose the option to edit my profile in the menu, I used to open up the full site so I could move around from there. Now, the only way to edit it is the stupid 'click here' link in FacelyHD itself. I need a way to access the full site from FacelyHD with one button, especially in light of the inability to edit your wall and delete comment posts. At this point, I don't even use FacelyHD anymore... It is beyond frustrating!

this is a very good app to use because its almost like the desktop site except for being a mobile app. the main issue i'm having right now is when i hit edit profile and when it takes me
to the mobile site to edit it, i try to click on what i want to edit but it doesn't let me edit it. another issue i'm having is sometimes FacelyHD will crash within minutes of using it. i believe you all should make another version of it because this is covered with bugs, it also needs some minor adjustments to the edit profile section. when you all do it, i'll come back and give a very decent review about your app. until then, i'm giving it 3 stars.

Well, it would seem the errors are a result of changes in Facebook's coding. Facely just had issues rolling out an update to compensate in a timely manner due to personal issues (a birth) in the life of the key developer for FacelyHD . I noticed the free version is already fixed. I'm anxiously awaiting the fix for this version. I love Facely. It's normally a solid app. Still, I get that stuff happens. It's a good app, a bit overwhelming in the beginning, & most definitely wait for an update before buying.

Srsly, Facely is great. They are trying to keep up on updates, but FaceBook keeps trying to "improve" on their service by making it harder for us to protect our privacy. I hate FB updates. Facely good, FB not.

Ok, so I now have 5 facebook apps on my iPad2. Four of them log on to facebook and do mostly OK. This one let me log on once for about 30 seconds and has since given me the perpetual "no internet" symbol.

Rather than trash them here, I elected to try to get support. What a waste THAT was. The link provided on the iTunes page goes right to their Facebook page where your only option is to subscribe to UserVoice and that's clunky and requires too much work on the part of the customer.

So now I have to trash them here. For the record, I use Friendly, MyPad+, Venus and iFace. Of them all, Friendly is the best...when it's working. Venus ALWAYS works, but has an unconventional interface that some love, some find just OK. Personally, I'm in the just OK column. But I do use it because it always works. In the 30 seconds that Facely worked, it looked promising.

Enjoying FacelyHD but would be better if when you're scrolling down on any page the header main menu stayed in view at the top and the info scrolled "under" it rather than having to constantly scroll all the way back to the top if you want to change pages.

Also, i find it very frustrating that when you leave the main page you're on to click on a pic or something, when you go back (even by using the built in back arrows) it takes you all the way back to the top instead of where you were on the page. Because of this, if you click on a photo at the bottom then when you come back to tge Home page you have to scroll all the way back down.

Good overall, though.

Just seems to me that FacelyHD could be done a lot better. It says it's customizable & I've never been able to customize any part (The colors, etc.) I can't hardly do much significant chat time without it freezing up. I like most parts of FacelyHD , but the chat thing seriously needs to get fixed. FacelyHD will freeze & crash on me frequently but less frequent than the other apps I have tried for Facebook. That being said, the freezes & crashes are still annoying whether it's less or not. At least on the others I can chat decently. FacelyHD 's layouts & everything are definitely fine, but fix the crashing & freezing & make it to where I can converse over chat with more than 2 people.

Keep up the good work - get rid of the bad work.

FacelyHD is a lot better than Facebook's native app, but the pictures all show up as thumbnails. You have to tap on them to see the larger version, and from there you can share it, etc...

The developer really needs to make the pictures larger when viewing your newsfeed. Sometimes I see a picture and have no interest in making larger. The way FacelyHD works, to see what the picture actually is you have to tap on it. Ugh. An extra step that's just not necessary.

I'd give it five stars except for that annoyance. Hopefully because I got the paid version, the developer will fix this immediately.
