Why is the facebook iOS app so god damn buggy?
It's a total mess. When you choose a profile picture it will randomly select a picture from your photo album. Also when you upload new pictures it sometimes takes 30+ minutes for them to show up and then multiples of the same picture will often appear sometimes erasing the existing pictures. Changing the notifications on the app does nothing, you actually have to log into the site for any settings changes to take effect. When you're viewing pictures the high resolution version will sometimes not load and only display the low resolution thumbnail picture. When this happens it appears to be a permanent change on the app(though it still works properly on the website) and the only way around it is to delete the picture and reupload. On top of all that it's also unstable as hell and crashes constantly. I'm talking a crash in every 1 out 4 attempts at opening the application.
What happened? As I recall the facebook app used to be very highly rated. Now the reviews on the app store are full of 1 star reviews. Does facebook simply not care about iOS anymore? Pretty much everyone I know with an iPhone or iPad just uses the mobile site because the application is a total POS. Myspace eventually went down the tubes because their site was crappy outdated, now I think that facebook has not learned a thing from the mistakes of it's predecessor and will soon be headed down the same path.
