Unfortunately, one of the main apps I used on my iPod Touch didn\u2019t transfer over; apparently, Facebook feels that their mobile site is \u201cgood enough\u201d for iPad users.<\/p>\n<p>Umm&#8230; no.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I stumbled across Friendly for Facebook while downloading the HD versions of other apps I use that hadn\u2019t gone \u201cuniversal.\u201d It was free so I figured I\u2019d give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Boy was I pleased!<\/p>\n<p>Setup was remarkably easy. All I did was sign in like I normally would and up popped my live feed, with tabs for easy access to friends\u2019 walls, messages, notifications, and even a section where you can confirm or deny those pesky \u201cgame requests\u201d (I have many a FarmVille addict in my circle of friends).<\/p>\n<p>The photo browser is actually pretty nice, letting you swipe through Facebook photo albums much like the iPad\u2019s built-in Photos. Responding to posts is simple, and external links open in an internal browser (as do some functions, such as the aforementioned Game Requests).<\/p>\n<p>Rounding it off are some nice extras, such as the ability to switch between multiple accounts, custom background colors and adjustable font size (something my slowly aging eyes will appreciate over time), and while this version is ad-supported, I barely noticed their presence at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/5662-free-iphoneipod-touch-app-review-ichapaev-lite\">some apps I\u2019ve reviewed here in the past<\/a>, I really actually <em>liked<\/em> using this program. In fact, <strong>I almost like it better than the default Facebook interface on my computer!<\/strong> If you use Facebook on your iPad, you can\u2019t get any better than Friendly for Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, you may even want to kick in a buck for the \u201cPlus\u201d version, if not to remove the ads, then to encourage these guys to continue developing.
