yeah, the main dev has contacted me, I will do it!

Hi Dark, thank you for the good feedback. I am improving the new stories features.

Like on post will come in the next update, I promise!!

Eheh I know that this kind of stuff are useful for a lot of people. When the app will be out of the beta this features will be present.

Thank you for the feedback!

D

Don't worry!! :)

There is no push for messages, I will do it, please wait next update!! :)

Mm I have to investigate.. is this not working at all or just in the main news view?

Yeah I understand what you are saying, I will improve this too If I find a way to understand that the notification is about more posts in a group!

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
HI Guys,

these weeks I am a little busy, I working on Fast too, but I can't release the update until I will finish to create a new way to parse and show friends-pages-groups wall. I want also to develop some features that you have suggested. I will keep you informed asap!

By the way, I am in direct contact with the developer of Embrace+ ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/embraceplus/embrace-1 ), it's a cool project and I will support it in Fast Notification. What do you think? :good:

Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

I have mixed feelings... It's a cool idea, but it looks like when you get a thin glow stick and wear it as a bracelet, also, I would say that it borders on being redundant, but I can't entirely say that I honestly and completely think that.

Cool concept, but will it take off? Maybe...

Also, they should totally do that.. But in the shape of a Green Lantern or Captain Planet ring instead XD

[Android Apps and Games] anancr:
mmm is an interesting project, but let's be sincere, would you wear something like that in a job? that's something for teenagers, or kids... but personally I wouldn't think good of my co-workers using something like that.

Hi.

What's about the news auto load problem? Any good news? I have this problem also in the main news feed.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

Found another apparent bug, Fast won't post my status when I tag friends...

Not sure what the problem is here >_>

EDIT

Not just Fast... Desktop Facebook itself won't let me tag someone, throwing an error back at me... Blegh!
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
Anyone can tell me why I dont get live notifications for new Messages? Only when I touch "reload" I will get them.
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
OK I test it a little more. If the app is in the front, messages comes immediately. If its in the background there is no notification. Any idea why?

[Android Apps and Games] Tweak90:
Great and amazing fast App :)

2 things I've recognized:

I can't stop following people out of this app

It does not show me PERSONS I#ve subscribed to. I've got 1 friend-request pending but I am follwing this person and subscriped to her newsfeed. Facebook app and browser are showing me her ne posts, fast does not.

Thanks for this :) I'll buy Pro when it's a full-featured Facebook client :)

Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

Taomorpheus, fairly soon I'm going to be getting a Nexus 4, so I'll be able to test on that, I'll probably end up keeping my ideos x3 for trying out Fast on a low end Gingerbread phone... Might continue to be useful.
[Android Apps and Games] gordito_gr:
I used FAST for a week.

My main problem is push notifications not working properly. They dont always come and mostly, not on time.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thank you so much!!! :)

Yeah, BSc in computer science :D

Thank you for your feedback, Fast will improve a lot.. stay tuned!

eheh good to ear! I've a nexus 4 now too. It's a beast!

The ideos will always be really useful, thx!

yeah I know, I am focused on improving them right now. A new update will come shortly.

[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

What? Dev's just now saying that he's updating the push notification app now so that it will include messages...

If you have Fast, but not the Push Notification add-on, go download it from the Play Store, it's called "Fast Notification for Facebook" and be sure to read the instructions on how to activate it :)

It's a separate app because it stops Fast for Facebook from becoming a resource-hogging beast like the official app is.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Bro I think you need to update the change log on the play store still...

Also, pleeeease make Fast Notification invisible in the app drawer, unbelievably, people rating the app down for it >_>
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yeah, I know that people hate that.. I don't know but I found it comfortable.. in future updates will be useful, I have some crazy ideas :P

The changelog is not updated yet... I've written it, dunno :/

Have you tried the addon? (have you received my pm?)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

I've updated the add-on via Play Store, haven't got any notifications yet, so I'm just waiting on that... I haven't had a PM from you beyond the one you sent yesterday.

I didn't have a chance to respond to it yesterday, and now that I've got time to spend on here, I almost completely forgot it was there -_-;

Re: [APP][2.1+] Fast for Facebook Beta

I'm not getting them either as well & I'm using t989 Hercules S2
[Android Apps and Games] MrMosoani:
H! I'm glad there's an official thread for this great app. :)

I love the idea, the customization, the speed and how it's arranged on the phonescreen.

However, when uploading picture, liking a post or tagging the photos being uploaded, I still

switch to the official app.

Now, honestly, I only use this app when the official app cannot upload pic because maybe of some bugs, or technical glitch within the official app.

This app, fast for facebook is RELIABLE and yes, really FAST.

It's just that the official one is still much more simplier.

I really hope, on the next update, you can comeup with much more simplier than what the official app can do(liking a picture, uploading and tagging a picture and typing the names will link right away to that person (just like tagging without the need to add "@"). Just to meet the goal of this app. (To make the social media experience, simpler)

Just my opinion, because I still believe that your goal for this app, guys, is really to make it very simple to use THAN any app out there. :)

Hey man !

I forgot this app for months (sorry about that) but today, i updated the hungarian translation !

"You've translated 450 words for fastforfacebook today" ;)

edit:451
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yep, this is something that I am trying to do :D Stay tuned!

Yeah, with few users it worked.. now with more than 5k users it's not working at all. I am investigating :|

Thx for the info ;)

Thank you for the feedback!

The 2 main goals of Fast are to give the best experience with the lower resources consumption.

It's not easy, because Facebook app is huge and sometimes I feel lost :D I am collecting feedback and thinking about new solutions.

Stay tuned for the next update! :)

WOW! Thank you! In the next update you will see your translation active! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Guys this extremely important.

I Don't know why, but Fast has been disabled by Facebook.

I am investigating right now, please spread the voice, it's really important.
[Android Apps and Games] Sleepy!:
Probably related to the new Facebook apps and phone that'll be announced today...

Hope it's just temporary, man. :mad::mad::mad::(:(:(
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I am actually waiting for a reply. There is no motivation for this brutal action against Fast. They haven't specified a reason at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Sleepy!:
Let's hope they open up Facebook to Fast again.... :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
... I really hope Facebook aren't thinking of doing the same thing Twitter has with forcing the closure of all third party apps
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
They have replied... they are telling that I am using Facebook icons and terms for Facebook features that confuses users... with no specifications at all. What the frack?
[Android Apps and Games] dark_knight35:
Confusing icons? Which means companies use to make minorities shut their mouthes... :(.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
the funny thing is that all the icons are given by google for standard holo apps...
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:
It seems to be working OK for me?
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Keep your login safe, until you have an access token you can use Fast. New login = Fail.

I have 0 new users from 20 hours.

I am going to push an update with some fixes for the icons, hope it works.

Otherwise other few days and the Google ranking will be lower and lower, and Fast will be totally killed.
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:
That's sh*t man! How is your logo/icon similar? Because it has an 'f' on it?

The official app has gone down hill big time, so many adverts and sh*t in my timeline now
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
It's not about the logo of the app, it's about some internal icons that they think are "copied" from facebook official app. Lol
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
What a load of old bo****ks

If Facebook want to shut Fast down because it threatens their official app, then they should just come out and say so, not deliver stinking turds like this.

Unbelievable.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I've pushed an update with a change in one icon (no sense I know :( ).. but they are not telling me what's the specific problem. Just sending links about policies.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:

Fast is dead.

I am sorry to inform you that the app is permanently disabled because of an unreasonable action made by Facebook. I will keep you informed about the return of Fast.

I don't know why, but Facebook replied and told me:

"it seems that there really isn't much we can do in this situation.

The best thing to do is to build a new app"

Their words, what can I do?

Please guys, be patient a new app "Fast2" will come, in a new way, not in beta and it will kick Facebook ass. :mad:

Rest in peace Fast <3
[Android Apps and Games] :
here i am with a full support of testing ;)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thank you guys for the support...

I was really mad yesterday, but today, with my mind cleared, I think that this thing can turn out in a positive way.

Facebook is thinking to build an app around people, but the funny thing is that it's not for people. They add complexity, cool graphics, heavy and crazy UX. People got mad, they want just to write or check Facebook. The mobile experience must be fast and easy, if you want complexity you use a web browser. I don't think people use a mobile app every day to update their covers or to create a group or a page.

Fast2 will be built for people and by the people. A new facebook experience that you can modify and manage as you want. It will be faster, rich of customizations and modules.

Fast2 will be built thinking about the daily common usage!

I will keep you informed and active in the process to create the new version.

I am starting right now, I hope you will follow the project and be active in the process. I don't have a clear plan right now, I need time.

Btw, No one will loose his money for the pro version, i will restart Fast with the same google play account with the same apps.

[Android Apps and Games] deniz2694:

[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
Well, I don't quite understand why Facebook can't do anything to solve the issue (apart from telling you to "simply" create a new app) but okay... Just want to tell you that I'm glad you decided do create fast2, although this situation could happen again. Take your time and we will definitely see a much better app (although I don't know anything you could do better :thumbup: ) Until then I will continue using fast until it stops working ;)

I know for sure that it won't be in the near future, but whenever you need help with translating the app to German I will do my best to support you.

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I don't know lol

They are pointing to make big money, they don't care about the experienced-smart user, the most important thing is that under average people love it.

Thank you so much for the help and support :)

That's hard to do.. I have a life and taxes to pay xD

Thank you, thank you so much!! I don't know what they have in mind :/

Yeah! :D

The funny thing is that they hire people using an old fashion way. They do dumb interviews and if you don't know precisely how to write a crazy algorithm, you can't get the job. So, they get full of geeks that don't have the real experience.
