Long time ago (not that long ago), we (at Jesture) were wondering around the jungle (read Playstore) to get the alternative of official Facebook app. Throughout our journey, we never quite found the right app which provided us the native and core functionality of the official Facebook app. So, we decided to take this matter in our own hands, and what we came up with?​

Phoenix!​

Phoenix is a Facebook wrapper app that allows you to use Facebook as if you are browsing it using official app, but without the lag, fatiguing battery and filling up storage.

​

Features:-

Safe and Secure

Light weight

ChatHeads like Facebook Messenger

No InApp ads

Long press to download Images without opening them

Feel of native

Phoenix bar

Never Loose your position with Phoenix QuickView

Download videos with our handcrafted video player

Advanced PhotoViewer to directly download and share images from posts

Intuitive way to access comments

Advance Notification

Advance ChatScreen to give you a native messenger feel

Refreshing themes

Refreshing layouts(Google+ IOS......so on)

Copy Text

Share Links

ScreenShots

looks really solid!!! :highfive:

I am yet to use a fb wrapper without reverting to the official app soon after xD Hopefully this one would be it :D :D :D
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Thanks! Waiting for your review.
[Android Apps and Games] Sgt. Kofeyeh:
I did a quick test drive and here's what I think so far :p

Here's what I liked: The app looks very stylish and the animations are smooth. Regular functions are working fine, app is lightweight as far as fb wrappers go the notifications are working adequately :p

My gripes: animations are too long (would be great to add an option to control animation duration). Also app takes a lot of time to load up and refresh (tested on both data/wifi) and initial setup process isn't the smoothest (why do I have to make a phoenix account? xD)

App is pretty great so far...I'll keep using this as a daily driver and see how it stacks up...

Keep up the good work :D
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Hey,

Animations are not long... Maybe it's your system which has that configuration under Developer Options?

Animations for starting new activity are of 0.5 sec.
[Android Apps and Games] nwlun:
Great stuff but if you could make it to detect like fb app, i definitely use it as my telco giving unlimited data to surf fb when im using the fb app
[Android Apps and Games] Darkshade18:
Hey, installed the app today. So far so good, except for two small issues.

- The messenger part seems a bit slow-ish, idk if this is due to restrictions. Also sending images from there does not work.

- Also when opening pictures on my own profile, I get a black screen with a loading cirkle in the middle.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
.....DELETED
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Chat Issue acknowledged. Second one is not an issue, it's the phoenix photoviewer which lets you share/download image directly from the post. You need to wait a bit till image loads in it.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
hello and thanks!

1)does x messenger privacy works with this?

2)I am searching looong time now a fb app that gives me option to see ONLY photos from my friends feed(only friendcaster had this option).I dont know why,but last year I see 90% of my news feed,posts from pages,or post from pages that my friends liked!this is really fed up...to the point I miss almost everything from my friends feed and my fb is almost useless!!

3)the ticker list feed (this small list on the right when we use pc).till now noone fb app includes feeds from this list.It would be perfect if this list could somehow implemented in this app.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Sgt. Kofeyeh:
I have animation scale on 1x in Developer Options and only Phoenix has very long animations (not laggy, just kinda like iOS only longer xD)

It could be just my phone though but that's what I found... It doesn't bother me that much but even with that the app still takes quite a while to load the newsfeed/notifications, making the experience jarring for me xD Not a deal breaker though....
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Well 1x is actually making animations a bit slower... But I find it very pleasing don't you? XD

If you really don't like it then you may try to use 0.5x until next update which will somehow handle it...
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Image uploading issue is fixed now. Please clear your data and login again. This will fix your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Jay:
Can't find it on Google Play! I really want to try this app
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
Me 2...
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Due to crashing issue app has been taken down for Playstore for now. We are working on the issue. Hopefully it will be resolved by today.
[Android Apps and Games] Darkshade18:
Hey, thanks for the image upload fix.

Opening my own images overview still doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to your Profile

2. Click on Images

3. It will load for an infinite time instead of displaying all your albums.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Thanks for reporting this issue. It will be fixed in the upcoming update.
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Hey,

Seems you are visiting your profile from "Options" tab right?

Yuh we noticed that visiting profile page from that tab and pressing on Photos causes PhotoViewer to be launched.

Will be fixed in next update.

Try to visit your profile from Home tab clicking on your profile picture in top left side of post composer. And once in your profile page click on Photos.

Please report back if it works fine there.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Darkshade18:
That works fine indeed! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Awesome!

Options tab issue will be resolved with today's update.

Thanks for reporting.

There's a way to install this without uninstalling lucky patcher?
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
We have noted that many people are not able to use this app with luckypatcher installed. Please be assured your problem will be fixed in the next update(probably tomorrow) .
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Hi, your issue is fixed now. Please upgrade to the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] KOALAaufPILLEN:
Cant find it on google play
[Android Apps and Games] qkall:
I honestly had this issue as well but I just normally googled it and found it.
[Android Apps and Games] Still_living714:
Just installed and all I can say is, great job jesture! I like the built in video player pretty nitto.

On a side note, pictures, videos and comments take a bit longer to load than normal Facebook app. I don't know if this is in your control but can you get rid of the sponsor ads?
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Hey,

Thanks for your feedback!

Removing ads feature is already in plan for future updates but we are not sure when this will roll out because a lot of people are requesting for different new features and it's hard to dedicate much time to this app's development due to studies but still we try to give it as much time as possible.

This feature may be available in next update as it may also get delayed as we give certain priority to some features.

Regards :)
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
any plans for choice to see only photos from my friends?my feed is full of crap things,pages and post of pages that my friends liked.it makes me no feeling to use original fb anymore...
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Hey thanks for requesting(it's really good to see user involved in app's development). Request noted. Let's see how it goes!
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
god bless youuu dude.I remember only friendcaster had this choice,but unfort. it must have been abandomed.another great feature was the bookmark on the news feed.but really,who cares about which pages posts my friends liked?my opinion is that the most important is friends photos and ticker list feed (the right news feed list on FB from PC)thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
New update pushed!

Changelog:

• Fixed: rare crash when opening Friends screen

• Fixed: long press to download without storage permission not showing permission dialog

I like the dark theme but AMOLED is is better for completely black... Not sure if that's possible
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
What do you mean with completely black?
[Android Apps and Games] qkall:
Instead of gray blocks.. black blocks. AMOLED screens save a lot more battery with black.
[Android Apps and Games] skyline72:
Theres a bug.

When I scroll down quite a few posts, dark becomes white.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Thanks for reporting, we really appreciate community's help in making Phoenix better :)
[Android Apps and Games] tele_jas:
I've tried about a dozen FB wraps, this is my favorite so far! Loads faster than the others (still not as fast as the actual FB app though), pic download options a easier, theme looks great and does everything I need, except "Live".... Which I really don't use or view much anyways.

Keep up the GREAT work!
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
We are very pleased that you liked our app. Please rate it on playstore(we need some good ratings there). As far as loading goes, we are working to make it faster than before.

Since this is a development thread I like to point out why fb loads fast. Since Facebook has placeholders, it just have to fetch data to fill those placeholder(this has a trade off with big size).

We are working to combine best of both worlds. And this type of reviews really keep us motivated to work harder.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
New update out:

• New: get Phoenix+ for free by watching sponsored videos

• New: protect your privacy using Phoenix Lock

• New: share location on your timeline (LOCATION PERMISSION REQUIRED)

• Fixed: app crashing on some devices when launched
[Android Apps and Games] Takamoto:
Amazing fb apk!! I love it..only one things for me..it force close when I push back button and exit..same clearing recent apps.

Anyway now is my favourite.:)
[Android Apps and Games] redultra82:
No internet connect popup and cannot open app when Adguard is enabled

Why?
[Android Apps and Games] redultra82:
Watch 5 videos to get plus.

Updates, watch 10 videos now

Uninstall time
[Android Apps and Games] qkall:
Then pay for it... I mean you don't even really need to watch them.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
That's weird. Could you signup for testing to resolve this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Will check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Sorry for this. Humans are bound to make mistakes and we made one with our reward video policy. We always wanted everyone to enjoy what Phoenix + is all about, so we introduced this feature. Our previous estimates were wrong and due to that we were not even able to cover the cost for running servers.

I hope you'll understand.
[Android Apps and Games] redultra82:
Paid for swipe for Facebook and chroma keyboard, both stopped working/updating

I won't do the same again

Who's to say the next update it won't remove the option to get free by watching videos?
[Android Apps and Games] qkall:
Fair enough but just letting the videos play muted and occasionally looking down and hitting next video is free. I think it only took like 5ish mins for all 10... Wasn't really paying attention.
[Android Apps and Games] Eggstones:
Am testing this at the moment on my s2 tab but can't get notifications to work properly. It seems like it picks them up very randomly. When I open the app it shows cites from hours ago that I haven't been notified about. It seems like the app only picks up the ones closest to the notification cycle which I have set to 1h and misses the rest. Any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Thanks for reporting, we'll investigate the issue and get back to you.
[Android Apps and Games] Eggstones:
I have also some problem with messenger. I have a message from my sister but when I open it I get a content not found error. It has happens on other chats too

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

The dark theme doesn't play nicely with the notifications. When it is on it just reloads and reloads switching between dark and light colour scheme.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
I think this is Facebook's doing. Anyways we are working on new chat system that'll hopefully resolve all your issues.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Sorry for the late reply, we can confirm the issue you are facing. We'll try to fix this issue in next update.

Appeal to all users: please rate Phoenix on playstore. We need good ratings to boost our growth to manage our server costs.

[Android Apps and Games] MatroxD:
I just saw a tiny update in the playstore.. Did you all push another one?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I just wanted to let you know [MENTION=5790678]BriKeD[/MENTION] that I've used this app for approximately a week or so and though, a very well developed application, it just wasn't for me.

I'm not stating that the app is bad and am not knocking it at all, i just didn't really see much sense in using this when there's 1 other Facebook Wrapper app that pretty much comparable to this one (with a handful of feature differences) and doesn't require a purchase for any additional features nor has advertising either.

On a different note... Your username looks like an abbreviated combo of my real full name... LMAO! :)

Just a funny thing that caught my eye.

GREAT app but, just not my cup of tea (as they say).

Thank you for your time and developments!

Can you please include HD video download option?
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
New update pushed with some crash fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Yes, pushed new update with some crash fixes.

Thanks for your feedback. But we would like you to know that Phoenix does not contain any In-app ads, and we have just finished out Video-Pro offer so I guess you missed the chance to use Phoenix-pro. That being said, Phoenix offers some great features(it may be handful) that other wrapper fails to provide.

I hope we may convert Phoenix as you cup of tea in the future so we could get some more awesome feedback like this :).
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
It's a fix. Some users were reporting a crash on launch in previous update so we investigated and fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] icoolguy1995:
Noted your request, we'll try our best to include it in next update.
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
The update went live yesterday actually. Mustansir just woke up and remembered that he didn't notify users about it LMFAO
[Android Apps and Games] BriKeD:
Thanks for your feedback!

Sir what we offer for free, they don't even offer.

What we offer as a paid feature, they don't offer.

EXAMPLE:

We offer chatheads which are completely FREE. Other wrappers don't offer this feature.

We don't show ads. Some of other wrappers do show ads.

We offer persistent click as a paid feature. No other wrapper offers this feature as per my knowledge.

Check our features list.

We offer quality features which are very well implemented with a complex logic in code which is running just behind your click.

I know nobody cares about what's running behind their click. LMFAO. But the way a feature or a logic is implemented has a huge impact both on performance and experience.

Let me say this, other apps are now gonna try to copy our features.

Hope you'll come back one day :D
