Hi! Thank you for asking, the development is going on, I have found a better solution for blurry pics (got the idea while I was swimming ahah) and the trick is working much better!!

A new update will come with some new improvements by the end of the next week (so 8-9 of august).

Yep I think that it's an issue with your phone that goes low with ram and clean Fast resources. In order to save memory I keep some references weak, it's a good way to limit crashes but also can create strange behaviors. I will check it out. Thank you!

Hi, for now it's not possible, I have to check the apis if it's possible ;)

It's a limitation of the api, but I think that a workaround is possible. I need to investigate further. Thank you for noticing!

Thank you for the reminder, it's something that it's not easy to fix, but I have added your feedback to my notes so I will definitely look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I am working hard on the new update, there will be material design, improved features and a lot of fixes (blurry pictures, notifications, etc).

I will keep you updated! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] eymas:
I wonder if we can get more customization options in the UI, such as a colorable notification bar.

I'll be patiently waiting for the update regardless :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
More customization will come, not in this update, but I am working on some ideas!

In the meanwhile a little preview:

:D

[MENTION=4323714]taomorpheus[/MENTION], looks quite good!!! I just hope it doesn't get heavier or more recourse hungry :) Anyway, you're the dev, so you're the boss :p
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
The good thing with re-design is that I've polished the layouts and simplified a lot of things, so It will be lighter than the latest version!! :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] belyava:
Sounds awesome! Waiting anxiously :) Thanks a lot! :victory:

when I receive a notification about a pm and tap it, Fast opens up on the news feed. Then it starts to refresh it, consuming my precious mobile data ;) I would like Fast to take me straight to the conversation instead, without refreshing the news feed. Is it possible? TIA!

Just one thing. Why when get new notification and tap it, it takes me to notification insted of post which it is related to?

Like someone commented my post, I get notification, click it and it show this notification on bigger scrren instead of taking me to post which were commented. It is one annoying thing for me and it is only one thin which takes me away from fast

Is it possible in messenger to make online contacts being show on top?

And notifications not working properly but need to test it more for few days
[Android Apps and Games] pro.aggro:
Is it possible to allow FAST and block game requests on Facebook?

Most of my friends block 3rd party apps to avoid game requests. If it is possible to block only games it's a win/win for me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] skaveelicious:
Pretty much perfect, awesome work!

The reason I feel in love with this one is mainly because it is really lightweight and fast! Please don't ever change that :) Additionally it only needs the necessary permissions to run, unlike the official app which basically can spy the content of my entire phone, props for this aswell. The design looks good and yet simple without bloat and the browsing experience with the "swipe left and right" was very well thought out.

I did not hesitate much to buy the pro version. I did not do it because the ads bugged me, I did do it because I value a well done job and am more than happy to support it.

I got 2 minor suggestions:

1. Regarding the free version there is one thing that maybe could be improved to make it look cleaner. The ads banner normally appears just under the "refreshing line" and above the posts. When browsing a friends profile I saw the banner moved to the bottom of the screen. I think having the banner always at the same spot would make for an overall better experience.

2. Youtube links. When hitting the video image, the thumbnail is displayed rather than the option to playback the video. When hitting the post's "name" however the window for video playback opens. Is this intended, shouldn't the window open directly when hitting the video image on the post?

Other than that, continue with the good work!

Its great app but inuser interface and third option buttons of like, comment etc are on the pics which looks disturbing is it possible to move on top or bottom of pics.... Pics also should be bigger. Thanks again

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
The notifications are a bit strange, there are cases where the id is clearly given, cases where the app needs to make more api calls but the content is still not present. Facebook api limitation + privacy complex behaviors don't permit a complete management of all kind of notifications. At least for now!

I will take a look about the suggestion for the messenger, thank you!

Yeah I guess it's possible, I will check it asap! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the feedback, I am glad that the main scope of the app is understood. So many times I read feedback of people that can't understand what's really behind the app and why some things are made!

1. I thought that the banner on the bottom was less annoying because of the new tabs! I usually prefer bottom ads, but in some cases (expecially in Fast)they must be up. I think that in the next releases I will add an option to decide the type of ads: banners or interstitial. I prefer to view an interstitial 2 times a day than having that banner always under my eyes (luckly in Fast you can tap on it and get rid of the ad for 24h).

2. Usually if the link is of a youtube video it must be opened inside the app using the youtube library. It's strange that the app opens the preview like an image. I will take a look at it.

Fast Pro update will come in the next days, I have found 2 crashed on the latest release of Fast, after the fix I will update the pro version too! :D

Have you ever thought about this:

Is it possible that this information if you scroll down automatically disappear?
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:

[Android Apps and Games] skaveelicious:
Okay I found a small bug and got additionally a small request:

See the two screenshots: The 1st one is the default "simple white" and the 2nd one the default "blue". Notice how the "ui" of the posters name is not correctly hidden in the white theme.

... And the request I have is maybe some colour/font effect adjustment on the white theme for the "gray banner" behind the posters name. See again the screenshot. The poster name and the "30 minutes ago" are a bit hard to read due to the "shadows effect" because of the gray banner colour. I hope this is not due the rather small (by todays standards) 4.2" inch display of my Xperia Arc S.

This is ofcourse on the latest fast pro version as of today.

Thanks

Since facebook became so heavy for resources I have to use some alternative ( 512 of ram, 150 free and 100 of this takes facebook and messenger ). It is only one so good app in google play. As I will be using it since now I will have some suggestions if I can:

- Can you add this dark grey theme to messenger? I prefer dark one than white,

- Can you add option to fast to choose if I want use chat in app or messenger only? That when new messege, click on it and it open fast messenger? That is because I like the messenger solution from facebook, but I hate how they did it ( size of the app especially ). Just option to choose :)

- In messenger on top active users, now I need to search if someone is active or not.

- Can you add some button to directly get to last comment? I have 200 comments under post and is long time to scrool it. Or add some scroll which you can grab, move and will be 10 times faster than normal touch scrolling? Like in contacts app in android is :)

- I understand standard posting is replaced by this circle button? I get scarred until found that it is hidden in new button now. But when clicking it to post in group have an connection error but probably you already know that bug.

- When commenting there is photo option. Is it possible to add there option to make this photo not only choose from gallery? Will be useful on my studies when need to make fast photo and add to comment without running standard camera.

- Messenger conversation, can be in two colours? One for my messages and one for the other person?

- Messenger right tab - can be there showed also if someone is still active? Now I have to see someone, then enter left tab and look if he is still online.

- Messenger - option to disable notification if Im online or offline. I need every time to clear ir form notification panel now.

- Would be useful to see files uploaded to group just like we can see photos

I know there are facebook limitations and you cant add everything but it still best facebook client.

I dont know how much are you suporting fast messenger but as I like messenger solution, and replacing facebook with fast so I also want to replace messenger :) Hope some ideas are ok and will help to make it better.

God how I wish to know programming :)
[Android Apps and Games] MajorWinters:
Maybe a dumb question but how can I post status+picture+friends+location?

I found only the option to post status+picture or location+friend+status...
[Android Apps and Games] pro.aggro:
Why are pictures always blurry? I don't use the high performance mode! And please add a space between the counter and the likes/comments/shares
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yep, next version will remove that thing :D Thx for noticing!

I will release asap the pro version. Let me know if is better or not.

Wow, thank you for this feedback, it's really detailed!!

1) Messenger will get an update, I will think about themes, it's a good idea!

2) It can be useful, maybe in the settings.

3) Yeah, I've noticed this, I'll take a look at it.

4) I think that it's better to show the latest comment on top, the oldest on top it's not a good solution.

5) I don't get the error, but it's happening to some people. Noted!

6) cool idea

7) this is a design decision to make, google material will help me :D

8-9) I will think about it

10) Already underdevelopment :P

Thank you again for all the ideas, check the next update and let me know what do you think about it.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Not for now, but I will add more options! Thx

Hi, this is the old version. Pro version will come next days with the fix for blurry images. Thank you!:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] pro.aggro:
Yes this is 2.5. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
I know I might sound like a little complaining jerk.

Big credits for your work. You are doing an excellent job!

But to be honest: I don't really understand why the pro version always has so much delay in updates compared to the free one...

Every other tool is getting roughly at the same time an update, often the pro/premium/what ever users will get the update even earlier.

Just on fast I'm always waiting for like one more week. And I don't really want to install both versions every time...

So I would like to ask you to change that behavior... Even if there are major issues you can downgrade, or grant an option to do so, within minutes.

Maybe a beta channel even makes sense. I don't bother in writing bug reports if I find one.

I am trying to get away from the Facebook app because I'm pretty pissed about the separation into messenger (and that they also own instagram, whatsapp, etc)... But why is it that you need to install another messenger to use group messages? Can't all this be incorporated into one app? :( pleaaaaaaaaaase?
[Android Apps and Games] lsander:
Pro version is after normal as I need to be tested on people who didnt pay to give pro version with no bug :) You should be happy that you are getting stable version because not payed need to wait until next version to have bugs fixed, you will get no bug soon

I am sorry about this delay, but I need to be sure that there are no critical bugs-crashes. Pro creation is a bit hard because I have to remove all google play services from free version and adapt fast to the pro package. I will reduce the gap between the release of the two versions to maximum 2 days.

Group messages are only available via webview, so multi account is not possible! I need to find a different solution, but for now facebook api are a bit limited :( Sorry about that.

Thank you :)

How many slots do you need? :D

That's strange, have you any task killers?

Hey! Thank you for the feedback, the update anticipated my post this time!! I have not added the swipe to reduce the memory consumption, I need to run some tests and verify if It's simple to add the swipe. :good:

Hey guys!!! I have released the PRO version and updated free too with some fixes. Let me know if you have any suggestions, issues, etc. Thank you so much!

Hey, thank you for replying. I am not looking for multi accounts (just using my one account), I just would like the ability to respond to "group messages" from within the main app. I can currently view them but cannot respond... Is there not a way to add the functionality of responding to "conversation" messages within the standard app?
[Android Apps and Games] vindmc:
Nice update, the interface looks much cleaner now.
[Android Apps and Games] lsander:
It is hard to say if there are any bugs as In last release I found some and still are present. And have no idea what did you fix in this release but:

- posting in groups like : enter group-click this nice blue circle and error : network error. It still exists.

Anyway posting from main screen and choosing there in which group do I want to post works very well, only in directly in group is not working

- Clicking on notification still taking to bigger screen with this notification

- On my phone there is not showing my profile picture in left swype-tab. Is it bug or only I have that problem? Btw I can live with this, just reporting.

- And last one. Is there option to delete my post or is not added? Because I cant find it.

- How to send messages to someone which I dont have in my contacts? If is not possible can you add this?

- And last one about notifications. After installing standard facebook app I had account displayed in settings-account. And was able to turn on or off synchronization for facebook. With fast I dont have this in accounts. Maybe it is a problem of notifications?

Btw I get notifications of fast messenger but not getting of fast. It is strange

And last think. Im using free version now as Im out of my country and not able to buy pro until get back home in September. So all Im reoporting is about free version, just to not misunderstand.
[Android Apps and Games] pro.aggro:
Nope
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
I have a really old school persistent bug that I've just noticed isn't fixed for me after the last year or so...

When I go to post on someone's timeline, and it brings up the Facebook dialogue, it always without fail says "an error has occurred, try again later".

I hadn't noticed until now because I don't often use that facility, but lately it's been a little bit in the way.

Found a small bug. If a location is named, it cuts into the message
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
The main issue still keeping me from using this full time is the limited share functions. In sharing to pages or groups it only shows #-As in the list to select. Can we get full group through Z or even a search to select where to share too?

It also only shows us a very limited number of groups. I do a lot in fb groups and need those functions to fully make the switch.

Everything else about this app is wonderful.
[Android Apps and Games] G.E.O.:
Just one more for the moment will do me nicely, but i can take a hint from your answer.

It could be a nice feature to be able to add more slots, maybe something for the future?

Anyway, keep up the good job man!

For the first time since I started to use Fast I decided to change the look and this is what I've got.

Looks like it needs some MDPI optimization :)
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Actually it looks like you are using the ad version while running an ad blocker.

That will leave those spaces.
[Android Apps and Games] belyava:
It's not the gaps left from blocked ads, I'm fine with it. It's about the like's and coment's counter and the way they are messed up with the long messages. Sorry, I didn't describe it from the start :)
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Oh I see it now.

I don't have that issue.

Did you try applying the skin again?

The skins can glitch sometimes.

Try changing it and then changing it back.
[Android Apps and Games] belyava:
You see, it's not the theme. I wasn't changing colors or backgrounds, but the newsfeed's layout. You know, these three picture positions: on top, at the bottom or on the left from text. Well, the first two options don't have that issue, everything is where it's supposed to be, nothing overlaps. But if I choose the pictures to be on the left side it becomes like on the screenshots. As if there's not enough space. I can bet that on bigger screens no one will have that issue

And yes, I tried to reapply and restart Fast, but nothing helps.

Thanks for your advice :)

Thx!!

I have tried to post in some groups and I had no network errors, I will try again.

- Are you talking about all notifications or just some types?

- The post can be deleted only if you have created the post with Fast. Tap and hold on the post and a message to delete it should appear. If not it's a bug and I will fix it :D

- You can't send messages to people that are not friends with third party apps :(

- Fast is not syncronized with facebook, there are no background services, so it's "off" :D

Fast notifications are not working on some devices, I don't know why. need to work on it.

Fast notifications are not working on some devices, I don't know why. need to work on it.

This is due to API calls limitations, there are too many requests everyday and after a bit Facebook blocks the feature. I can't fix that :(

Thank you so much, I will fix it asap.

I will work on it, thx for noticing

I will add 2 slots ;)

I will run a test and fix the issue for mdpi ;) thx!

This happens to my samsung tab 3, it's really rare and without the ad banner is working better. I will study the issue.

Sometimes can happen, I have tried a lot of workarounds, I hope to improve it again!

In the meanwhile I tried to fix an issue on google play, Fast is not present anymore in similar section of all facebook apps (was the second app in official Facebook app page). After many chats and email, Google play support fixed this issue, but after few days the issue was back. I have contacted them and they told me that they are improving the algorithms, so the issue that they have discovered and fixed now is magically not an issue. Thank you google.
