Dear @Facebook, Your #Android #App SUCKS!

Seriously, I can't be the only one that thinks this application is a big pile of doo doo, right? Ughhh, seriously, who signed off on this? Ok ok ok, I'm being a dick, but here's my point.

Let's start with the Facebook Application for the iPhone. It's amazing! Honestly, when I had my iPhone I rarely logged in to the actual Facebook website. I had no need to. I could do almost anything right there from within the app. It was very very well done and I applaud that. Here's the thing, I don't have an iPhone anymore... I have a Droid X (which is sex on wheels). 

The Facebook Application for the Android platform blows. Seriously though, it's not good. The first thing about it are the background updates. I have mine enabled and all that jazz, but they never show up. Seriously, updates are kind of important. So, inside the actual app, it looks something like the picture on the right. If you open up your notifications from the bottom of the screen and click on one, it leaves the Facebook app and opens up your web browser. Like, really? I am disappointed by this. When I open these notifications and try to write on someone's wall or comment on something, I can't. I have to go back into the app, click on "Friends," search for them, and post on their wall that way. Why doesn't going to someone's wall that way open up through the web browser? I have no idea. Honestly, so so so weird. 

I heard that Mark Zuckerberg recently bought an Android phone and has realized that they need to revamp their app for this platform. I don't know if that's true, but as long as they give the Facebook app some love, I'll be happy.
