Hi, thank you for this great apps! The official one is annoying me and is really slow with too much crashes!

I'm just curious if it's my fault or if it's not possible to send messages to a "chat group message" on which ther're more than one people. If I open a conversation with a single friend, I can write down a comment, but in a group conversation I can't!

Is it normal or I cconfigured something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
sadly facebook does not allow third party apps to do that :(
[Android Apps and Games] scaccomatt0:
thank you for the info!

Still remain a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
That's a good idea! I have already think about theme support, but it's not that easy, and every time I want to do it, something much more important comes up! Btw, I am sure that I will add this feature, maybe not in the near future, but It's an important step for the app!

No problem, I am happy to hear feedback and new ideas. I will think on improvements hoping to find a better balance for everyone :)

Ok! Now I have understand. Everything is noted in the to-do list! Thank you for the feedback!

As Freak told you, it's not possible due to Facebook API limitations. However you can download Fast Messenger and reply to group messages! (It's done via webview, but at least you can do it!)

- some post don't display on my profile, such as friends tag ?

-don't show tag people name on post ?

- don't allow to view photo ? Just can view album , but photo ?

- not allow to view non friends wall or some photo ?

Because facebook api limition , so some features don't working on third party app ?
[Android Apps and Games] wilflare:
will there be more themes added?

I kinda like how the default Facebook app looks... just need it to be in Black Theme :/
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Building own themes would be awesome too :)

In a way like for WordPress.

But I guess that's way too much (re-) coding

-edit-

a birthday functionality would be cool as well :)

Is it normal I can watch videos of my friends that they uploaded themselves and not the ones that they simply liked?

It just says "******* likes a video." but I can't actually watch them :/

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Same goes for pictures. Something Klyph also does, so it seems to be possible in general.

[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
I'm sorry to say, but I have another missing feature or bug. I'm sorry as it looks like I'm only complaining, what's not my purpose. Fast for Facebook has become my default Facebook app for a reason, so please don't get those "complaints" wrong.

Also that I'm referring to Klyph that often is not that I try to compare both to each other. I was just using it for a long time before Fast.

The issue I was talking about is, that Fast isn't showing answers to pervious comments.

Klyph does that (and even pretty sweet with a bit margin on the left side and a green bar), so it seems to be possible from Facebook api

I'd like to make a list of things I recognised for your better visibility (my personal priority) :

- answers to previous comments not visible

- pictures and videos not visible which has been liked by friends

- subscribing pages functionality missing (not sure if this is possible)

- birthday functionality

- building own themes

My new default facebook client. Full use of the holo-ui = pure android awesomess

great customization too.
[Android Apps and Games] wilflare:
hmm I switched back to the default FB client for some reason... I kinda like the way it goes notifications set up..
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Is there a way to add copy a post and paste it to groups?

Klyph has copy but I don't see how to paste it any where.

Dev has stopped on Klyph as well.

Would fix my only issue with Fast. :)

Just tried Atrium again and it now supports share to groups.

How are they doing this?
[Android Apps and Games] walid_m:
looks useful but I don't have facebook..... :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Sorry for the tardy reply, I took few days of rest and relax but I am back now :D

Friend tags are not possible for api limitation, tag people on post is possible, but It's not available for now. It's a work in progress ;)

I don't understand, if you open an album usually you a get a grid on the left with all the photos and the main photo on the right.

Non friends have different privacy rules and Facebook documentation is not clear what happens when you check a non friend profile. It's sure that you can view only public posts.

More themes will be added!

It's something that I would like to do, If I will find the time!

Have you tried to click on "go to story" or "open link"? I will investigate on this for sure.

Go to story doesn't work?

Don't worry, you can always make confrontations, it's a good way to improve. I am not touchy and I always think that Fast is so far from perfection with issues and many ways to improve.

About your feedback:

1) Answers to previous comments: do you mean to order comments with the root and the childs?

Like this?

2) noted

3) not possible due to api limitations and the fear of Facebook that you can create your bot that likes everything without your permission

4) birthdays are visible in friends list ( I will add a order feature by birthday :D )

5) own themes it's not a priority but I will work on it ;)

Thank you so much!!! :)

For now you can share a post and select a page instead of your account. I will add something for groups too ;)

With Fast you can already post to a group, it's just a matter of how you do something in the app. I will add this feature, np :)

If Facebook API will allow share to groups, how much will they allow?

No other app allows admin rights in groups. Is that possible? Doubt it but I also didn't think they allowed share to groups anymore.

Looking for add/remove member and remove post.

Not sure that can be done.

Probably not but would be awesome.

No third party apps allow like pages either. That's crazy.
[Android Apps and Games] Haidary.T:
I tried but it shows only a thumbnail :/ I only tested one video though.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I have to find a similar video type and run some tests. For now it never happens to me, I hope to replicate the case!

One day it will be! :victory:

I think that I don't understand your request, can you re write it? Thank you!

Maybe I will hide the launcher in the menu and get it available only in the app!

Have you tried to reboot? Clean install of both apps? Thx

I have found a way, it's a working in progress I hope to release it in the next update :)

Add/remove member and remove posts it's something that it's impossible for now, but I can always study the documentation and be sure about that.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Just a quick update about the new version! I have finished to add the "add picture" feature in comments. Now is possible to select a photo from the device and add it to a comment :)
[Android Apps and Games] tom0:
I mean the function in the settings to save the last position in the timeline.

I would thought, if it is activate, if some new messages reach the timeline that I can scroll to read from my saved position to the newest message.

Now it look like that I have the message bar about new messages but I have to read from the newest down to my last read message because the timeline jump to the newest message.

I thought it doesn't save the last possition if new messages reached.

Is it possible to double check. Maybe on my device something happen which caused that it doesn't work correct.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] djees:
If you could add tag friend in comment i will buy your pro version
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Just wanted to say thanks to tao for keeping up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] wilflare:
just a thought

will Fast support intent filters where it becomes the default app that opens whenever a facebook linked is clicked (either in the browser or a separate app?)
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
That's actually a good idea and I'd like to take that even further.

- when clicking a link in Fast which redirects to Facebook, opening it in Fast, not the browser (actually I guess that's what he was asking for too)

- sharing login to all those apps with those "login with Facebook" apps as the original app does.

Not sure if the second point is possible,, but I would really love to see that functionality, as I couldn't find it anywhere yet.

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Ok, i understand the issue. I have to re-test the whole feature and verify if it's A bug or a problem with your device. In the meanwhile what are your specs?

Sorry man, it's not possible to tag friends in comments :( Maybe Facebook will allow it in the future!

No problem! :) Thank you for the support, this is what gives me the strength to continue Fast development!!!

Well that's hard to accomplish but I will look at it! In the meanwhile I have added it to my tasks list.

Well, this is not possible because Fast login is strictly associated to the app.

Allowing other apps to access the access token of Fast is risky because the app can be banned for security issues or spam.

Open links is possible but maybe only for one account, not multiples! I have to study a good solution.

Thx!

Thanks for the new update ! Though I still suffer from one main bug that I have been reporting months back ago! The notificaion order is not well timely based! sometimes ah 10 mins ago notification is shown AFTER a 3 hours notification ( by which the 3 hours ago is shown up and the 10 mins ago is down )
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Whaaaaaaat?! :D I remember that I have fixed this, the query now asks for results ordered by date. I will investigate on this, thx for the feedback. Damn!
[Android Apps and Games] Ensifolk:
PLEASE fix that ! I so want to ditch the Official FB app !

And oh, why can't I post on a group I'm in my friend? I mean there should be a post button or something, or share an image!

And one last thing, for example a friend posted a LONG post, it only showed it as a one line on the Fast app, if you want the app to cut long posts, why not add ' .... ' or ' continue ' or something ! Please consider them as soon as possible ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Can't post on friends profiles. Always receive an error from Facebook saying: " Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es später noch einmal."

(basically means that an error occurred and I should try it later again)

Cross checked with klyph where it is working.

Also tried another account.

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well I will investigate on that for sure!! About long posts, for now you can switch to the layout with pic on the left that shows only the first rows!

This is a problem with how many users are using the app. Facebook has a limited number of requests to per day, so klyph has no problems with that, but Fast yes. I will send an email to ask more "space"!

This is the Atrium share options.

It only works when there is a link in the post. For some reason it doesn't show this same menu for an image share.

It does allow share to favorites.

So if a group is added to favorites it will allow sharing to groups.

SOrry for the tardy reply, anyway it does share for url because it's possible to write on a group and attach an url (on Fast it's the same), but photos are prohibited by Facebook apis. There is no way to post a picture from your device to a group using third party app, you can only post an url of that picture.

I have noticed that too, I don't know what happened, maybe something has changed in the api reply. I will check it asap!

I have discovered a problem

Fast for Facebook seems unable to show some of the posts of my friends that have links in them, I see this message:

Attachment UnavailableThis attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you.

But, if I use the original Facebook app I see the posting and I do not get that massage which I get on the fast for Facebook app...

Help appreciated...﻿
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
Also like the original Facebook app, is there a way to hide posts from people whose posts you do not want to see?

[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
I love this app very much mainly because of its simplicity and smoothness....

However, also using Atrium mainly because of following features...

1. Atrium shown checkin status with map. Many time pictures or status update are in correlation with checkin status. However, Fast is not showing map or checkin status clearly.

Adding map location for checkin info could make this app slow or complicate. However, any checkin info should be highlighted in post (either pictures or status update) with demarcation, say bold font, quote etc.

2. When multiple picture updated by any friend, Fast shows every picture as separate post. If there are many pictures and want to skip, still you have to scroll down a lot.

By any chance, is it possible to combine all picture posts in single post like other apps, facebook, atrium etc?

3. When we click friends, is it possible to see them sorted out as per their birth dates? Or get some notification of "birthday today" when we open Fast?

Finally, simplicity and smoothness of the app is real beauty of this app. Hence, though I am asking above things, but not at the cost of current charm of this app.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx for the feedback, I have to check this. What kind of links and posts show this error?

I want to add a personal filter on Fast. It's on the roadmap! :good:

yeah!! Btw, how are you? It's been awhile since I've seen you!

First of all it's a pity that you need 2+ apps for Facebook! I will improve the checking feature (it's a bit broken now, they have changed how api works). Multiple pictures in one post it's possible but it's a deep refactoring. I have to find a light way to do it!

Birthdays order will come too. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

So, in the next update I think that I will add a better visualization for reply comments, checkin fix, main feed filters and friendlist order by birthdays. :cowboy:
