Friendly Social Browser for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great appGreat app especially if you have two fb accounts like I do, I use friendly for my business account and the fb app for personal account.Version: 7.2
✓ Data stays private & developers are responsiveIt’s a stable secure alternative to sharing all your contact data and more that is required by FB apps and others. Great way to access multiple social media accounts in one place. Social media sites can make changes and if it causes any minor issue with this app, all you do is report the issue and developers are very fast to address it. I normally don’t write reviews and I am not connected to developers or receiving any compensation for this review. This is just an all to rare good app..Version: 7.9.1
✓ Great and now even with iPhone X supportThis app is the best way to use Facebook. Couldn’t wait for the version 7 that promised iPhone X support and now that it is there. I must say.... it is GREAT ! 👍🏻👌🏻❤️ I can browse my feed without annoying ads from Facebook. 👋🏻👍🏻 I LOVE the option to sort my feed by most recents so that new posts are always on the top..Version: 7.3
✓ Superb !!!Coming across a video on Facebook of my son when he was 2 being a plonker, I realised I’d deleted the video from my phone, after searching and downloading crappy apps, I thought I’d give this ago, boom, I now have the video saved to my phone again, these guys could charge for this app and I’d pay it happily, thank you..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Difficulties since updateHave really enjoyed using the friendly app the past few years. Noticed more crashes and difficulties with showing posts after pressing from notification bar - goes to blank screen. Also can't download pictures as I could previously for some reason too. If these could be fixed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!.Version: 7.5
✓ Probably the best way to get rid of ads on FacebookI had Friendly a while back and it was still in its early days. I deleted it and after downloading the original Facebook app, I was tired of seeing like every 4th post being an ad. So I just started reporting ads but I grew tired of doing that very quickly. I remembered about Friendly and saw the other review and so I quickly downloaded and logged in to my Facebook and I kid you not Facebook is actually likeable again without all the ads. Plus, I added my LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, etc to do the same. This app is pretty legit and worth paying for. My Reddit fails to load however. I am able to login but once I login my feed won’t come up. Any reason why that is? Other than that this app is solid!.Version: 8.9.10
✓ Much better than the official Facebook appLess adverts. Posts shown in chronological order. Much more control over what you do and don’t see. Sharing pictures is a bit of a faff at the moment but that’s due to Facebook itself not the app and they are working on a fix at the moment. Other than that it’s perfect for people who hate Facebook but have to use it..Version: 7.2
✓ Wonderful AppI’ve been using Friendly for years now , and is wonderful. I can switch from social media apps with no problem and it does not take up space as the other apps. And from a country where the connection is not as fast as the developed but I can browse well with friendly. But with the recent update I’m not able to see my notifications, search, homepage etc task bar. I updated and it’s gone. Hope they are working on it to restore the options.Version: 8.9.4
✓ Good but not great 3.5/5The UI is pretty amazing, It doesnt seem to freeze, load times are good and its very easy to read, my only gripe is when i scroll with my left thumb it sometimes likes a status that i acroll past. But the kicker is the notifications. I dont get them in real time. I get them all at once. 'Someone's birthday was yesterday' 1m ago paired with 'someone posted a new photo an hour ago' 1m ago. Its pretty annoying and i feel i have tried everything, faster notifications, deleted and reinstall. I hope it changes. That said. Its easier to focus on negatives than positives. Overall a good app but improvements needed..Version: 7.9.3
✓ Used to be greatUntil recently this app was brilliant. I need a professional Facebook account as well as my personal one, they can be kept separate without the need for constant logging in and out. But suddenly I have to re sign in every time I open the app or go back to my newsfeed it’s so annoying 😕.Version: 8.0.3
✓ Excellent Substitute For FacebookI’ll preface this by saying that I only use Friendly’s Facebook features, so I’m not knowledgeable on how the Instagram or Twitter features work. In my opinion, Friendly is way better than the official Facebook app, especially if you prefer your timeline to show “most recent” instead of “top stories.” Most of the same functionality is there, with the addition of awesome features such as night mode and ad removal. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that it seems like it doesn’t background refresh even though I have it set to do so. I don’t get any notifications until I open the app to check. So far, that one minor annoyance can be overlooked because of all the positive things this app offers..Version: 7.0.1
✓ StuckEdit: awesome! You fixed it! And it works better! I love you 💙😍🏆 Can’t delete properly, crashes on start up... restarted phone after deleting multiple times. I love this app... what can I do? v(*.*)v.Version: 8.9.22
✓ Works wellNo complaints; only Facebook product I've tried but works well on the iPad.Version: 3.5.1
✓ WowThis a great app as you can chat, upload photos, and easily access your Facebook account that cannot be done on the Internet. But let me remind it might get slow.Version: 3.5.1
✓ All that I wanted and moreI did not expect this to be more than a simple FB interface, but was pleasantly surprised to find it delivers FB content in a VERY usable and improved manner. Top work!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Messages don’t workYou can look at Facebook but not your messages so it’s sorta pointless as the whole reason I want friendly is to keep all my text messages from Instagram and FB in one place.Version: 8.9.32
✓ Very good, better than FB appHave been using this app for a very very long time. Features are excellent and the developers keep it updated frequently, great job! Love the fact that you can also change the colour for your own usage. Very speedy and useful app, better than fb's own one because you can read your messages and reply, without giving facebook permission to snoop on your conversations..Version: 7.4.2
✓ .MadDude.With this you can log out of both Facebook & Messenger which Facebook App won't allow!! New version is annoying.. The comment box keeps dropping below the keyboard and you can't see what you're typing, Drag the comment box back up and the moment you start typing again it drops back down behind the keyboard :'(.Version: 7.0.1
✓ GoodI gave it a five because before wen the chat wasnt working i had to turn it on log out then back in... But now it seems to stay on which is better and efficent... Thanx.Version: 0
✓ Bon français s’il vous plaît respect ✊Manque français de Facebook votre anglais injustifié.Version: 8.9.37
✓ I used to like it a lot,But recently there’s been a lot of unsolicited ads that I’ve had to block manually. Please fix.Version: 8.9.4
✓ The Swiss Army knife of Social AppsAn excellent app to view Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Messenger. Just one app to view your Social life. The one feature it sorely lacks is Keyboard Shortcuts which is the reason for the 4 star rating..Version: 7.5
✓ Love this app!I really love this app, however I am having problems with the language settings. I’m a German living in the UK and have my phone set to English. The app is in half English half German for me. All the Buttons etc. are German and the rest is English. I’ve tried lots of things but am not able to change this. Really wish this wouldn’t be a thing (as it is perfectly fine on the official Facebook app) so Im giving only 4 stars..Version: 7.9.1
✓ GoodGood.Version: 8.9.15
✓ FaultsI’ve been using this app for some time but it has developed faults that don’t appear to be getting fixed. 1. When going through the notifications it looses the bottom control bar so instead of just being able to go back to my news feed and have to log in again. 2. When I have read the notifications the number indicated on the bottom does not change unless I log in again. 3. There does not appear to be any way in the app to report theses faults. It is a great app to use but theses issues are becoming a bit wearying..Version: 8.5
✓ RecommendHi, I have this app since long time ago and I have had no problem with that, but recently I cannot open my Instagram. I went to the settings to report the issue, but it gives me an error that there’s no email configured on this device. I don’t know what does it mean? Could you please help me to resolve this issue? Thank you in advance!.Version: 8.9.13
✓ Amazing!I can control all my accounts (yes I have more than one) for Instagram without constantly logging in and or of them!! Love it!!.Version: 5.7
✓ Great alternativeA great way to log into multiple platforms.. A few bugs but hey it's free, so can't complain. Keep up the good work guys. Even considering upgrading to the paid version.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Great AppStarted using Friendly a year ago, installed because I didn't want to have FB & messenger as separate apps. I use it all the time & upgraded to ad free which is a godsend. No adverts, even when you click on links. Not bothered by no notification of new messages, if someone really wants to contact me they can txt or phone!.Version: 7.3
✓ Nice and liteNice lite and efficient app. Non intrusive and has messenger included without having to use Facebooks bloated apps. Some bugs and some image display oddities but the developers work hard to keep it all working. Best of all, no Facebook app needed!.Version: 8.5
✓ Excellent AppI’ve been using this app for about 2 or 3 years, and I find the app user friendly. It is certainly fast when click on friends to reply or comment etc. I hope the app be successful in the future, to replace FB..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Great alternative to official app, ad blocking is excellentI have been using this as an alternative to the official Facebook app for a few years. The $3 is well worth it if you don’t like all the ads. There are a few quirks and takes a little bit to get used to the difference. For some reason messenger doesn’t work within this app. Probably a setting haven’t figured out. I have kept official app and messenger loaded and switch to them when needed. Also not in this app that I have been able to figure out is Facebook news and marketplace. However it is very easy to switch the newsfeed version from popular to most recent and a few other options. I use this for about 80% of my Facebook browsing..Version: 8.9.21
✓ Really like the appI’ve been using friendly for years since Facebook forced Messenger down everyone’s throats. I like using the Friendly app to read my messages on Facebook without having to use Messenger. For some reason, this doesn’t work to message a new person anymore, but it’s great for talking to people I’m already connected with. I would give this app five stars, but there are some things that work better with the actual Facebook app, so I have to use both. One thing I will say is that I had a problem with the app a few days ago, and the developer emailed me when it was fixed this morning. I have never had that happen with any app. Pretty cool..Version: 8.5.2
✓ Nice!!! Works just fine.The thing I love most is that it’s 300mg smaller than the other ap. Occasional crashes, or lags, but it's two/3 apps in one! No need to get "messenger" ap and that's a saving of almost 300meg, it makes getting used to the ads worth it! I thought annoying feed refresh bug was a fb feature! Thanks for fixing!.Version: 7.4.2
✓ FriendlyGreat product!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Good.Works good. Just can tag people using it or forward videos.Version: 7.5.1
✓ This app has become extremely unstableI gave a good review at first but after the last couple of incremental updates the app is extremely unstable. I have reported multiple problems on the Friendly Facebook page with no response. The latest problem is that the screen content inside the app borders repeatedly flashes white and disappears, sometimes returning and sometimes not. When this happens, the app is unusable. Closing and reopening the app solves the problem temporarily, but the problem always returns and makes the app unusable again..Version: 8.0.3
✓ Awesome!!Thought Facebook app for iPad does not exist, so will have to use some crappy 3rd party app but Friendly turns out to be a star!! Have kept the feel of Facebook and the design is cool..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Easy & pleasant to useIf you pay up you can colour-code your accounts so you can separate your after-dark twitter from your professional twitter 😜.Version: 7.9
✓ Broke completely yesterday EDITEDThis used to be my favorite, but it’s useless now. Hide by Keyword used to be the best feature. Doesn’t work now. Facebook pages now look just like Facebook pages. I might as well be using the Facebook app. I reported the issue but I’m not holding my breath. EDIT: It’s been many months since I expressed the above disappointment, but suddenly it’s back the way I was. I never have to hear about anybody’s birthday again. So far. Even hide by keyword “sponsored” works again..Version: 8.9.14
✓ Love itBrilliant.Version: 8.9.10
✓ Awesome!Giving 5 star for this since i can switch accounts easily... I am hoping for some improvements in the interface though... Nonetheless, it's awesome!!! :)).Version: 4.3.2
✓ Awesome appJust need a tab for finding group chats. Not just be able to reply to them. Apart from that does most other stuff..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Decent AppDecent app. Takes up a ton of data, esp if you don’t think to turn off auto play for videos. Has a few quirks like can’t play voice messages in Messenger, but all around serves me well..Version: 7.4.1
✓ Welcome BackAfter a few issues due to changes made by Facebook, Friendly is back up and running and just as awesome as ever!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ The only way to FacebookThis app has been my saving grace. When I want to view my page without being hit with multiple chats I use this app. Yes, I could turn chat off on the reg fb. But I prefer to use friendly in those times, so I don’t feel the guilt of turning away from my friends and family. This allows me an escape, to view and reminisce . For me this app offers calmness. Not the business of the fb app. It is also fun with all the screen options, changing colors etc things fb does not offer. All the above and many more are the reasons for my five stars..Version: 7.9.1
✓ Unwitting improvementThe developer’s “work in progress” workaround solution for the Messenger changes Facebook had to make in Europe is an unwitting improvement over the previous messaging functionality. It enables more features, making it essentially the fully featured desktop version of Messenger. Sure it requires a lot of rotating between portrait and landscape, but I can live with that for the improved functionality. My only reservation about it is that many users will not realise they need to rotate to landscape for some features and back again, so may find it unusable. It needs to be made clear that this needs to be done. Please keep it this way! Four stars because it’s still not a perfect app, for instance in “night mode” not all options and text are readable, meaning night mode sometimes has to be disabled to read everything. Also Facebook’s new comment thread trees are not supported. Improvement is needed before it can fully replace the official apps. It’s getting there though..Version: 8.9.3
✓ DisappointedI paid to have an ad free experience but when my phone died and I needed a new one, the purchase I made was lost. I am not paying again.Version: 7.5
✓ Go To App For FacebookI’ve used this app for ages and recommended it to Friends when they complain about seeing too many ads. But recently I’ve been getting a message saying “This browser is not supported”. It suggests using the Facebook app or Safari or Chrome but the links take me to the iTunes Store that says “Item not available in the UK store! How do I fix this?.Version: 8.9.28
✓ Fantastic Alternative to FacebookAfter hearing rumours of the official Facebook app using your devices microphone in the background constantly to listen to your conversations and then hit you with targeted ads, then see it happen in person I thought it’s time to switch, the Friendly app is fantastic, it’s silky smooth, doesn’t spam you with adverts, uses less data, less battery, and has messenger, instagram & Twitter all built in. All in all a fantastic alternative to facebooks awful official app..Version: 6.5.2
✓ Finally!!!I’ve recently downloaded this app to replace the FB app & I absolutely LOVE this! I was debating about whether or not to delete FB altogether. Does it have ALL the features the full FB app does? No, but I didn’t expect it to. One of the things I love most I got to delete FB & messenger as well since this app includes both. I love that you can customize the background color to make it your own. The app runs smoothly..no glitches so far. There really isn’t anything negative I have to say about this app right now. It has freed up soooo much space in my phone & I find myself spending less time on FB since downloading this app, which was one of my goals. As far as it being a good replacement for FB, IG, etc it really depends on what each persons needs are. Give it a shot, I know I was pleasantly surprised...not disappointed. Great job Friendly...I’ve FINALLY found a solution to all my FB issues. Thank you!!!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ MrRajFacebook Become a most attitude aap ever we need alternative aap which one should have same feature as Facebook has now Facebook disabled any account any time without showing any reason I deleted this most un useful app from my phone forever if any one know about any Aap similar to Facebook please let me or should someone make any other website which provide similar features so we can kick Facebook out from our lives so this massage for everyone this site not trustable for your memories choose something else thanks.Version: 8.0.3
✓ The bestI’ve always wanted an IPhone app that allows me to successfully login to Facebook without having to use the actual Facebook App. This app also allows you to login to other of your social accounts or even if you have multiple Facebook accounts. I’m so stocked to have discovered this app. Gave them a good 4stars 😍😍.Version: 6.4.4
✓ Excellent app, makes Facebook more accessibleAs someone with a sensory processing disability and chronic illnesses, I often suffer from extreme light sensitivity. Even with my phone brightness right down, it can still be too bright for me. I can also find using social media stressful and overwhelming but being chronically unwell I rely on it for support a lot. Some social media apps have a ‘night mode’ that makes the background black and the text white, but facebook has yet to add this feature! I was recommended Friendly because it has this feature and wow, what a game changer! My news feed appears in chronological order. I can browse away without blinding myself and scalding my retinas. No more strange and worrying Wish adverts clogging up my feed! No more switching between FB and messenger apps. I’m no longer annoyed by notifications to turn on all the notifications I purposely turned off! All the elements of FB that I find overwhelming and stressful can be removed, it’s amazing! I’ve actually deleted the Facebook and messenger apps from my phone because I don’t really need them anymore. Thank you Friendly! Cannot recommend this app enough, it’s also worth paying the £1.99 for premium, ad free Facebook is bliss!!!.Version: 7.4
✓ Great app on iPhone, not so good on iPadThis app is great on the iPhone, being able to hide adverts, stories etc. However, with the settings set the same on the iPad it stills shows the adverts, stories etc. The other issue, which I think is more an issue with the website, is with Nextdoor - it doesn’t stay logged at all. If the developers fixed both issues it would get a 5 star rating from me..Version: 8.9.22
✓ AwesomeBrilliant app, does as advertised, maybe sometimes I get a little annoyed with having to manually update Facebook conversations and such, but that's no biggy. Being able to quickly switch between multiple accounts is awesome. I'll give it that last star when gifs are supported, like tenor keyboard support or something in the least. Besides that, love your work. I'll be back when I can use gifs 😉.Version: 6.5.2
✓ DecentUsing this app instead of Facebook/messenger. Enjoying the colour customisation and the space I'm saving. The only thing stopping me from buying Pro is the facet I camt get the notifications to work. Checked both app and iOS settings and they're all good to go... Just not getting any of push notifications popping up or showing as the little badge..Version: 6.5.2
✓ I use this more than Facebook see⬇️Still glitches BUT. This app gets around the Facebook algorithm so that you can ACTUALLY see posts in your feed in real time instead of recycling the 20 same friends. Then there is the Twitter reposting where you should use Friendly to repost those as well. Also this isn’t saturated w/ ads! Highly recommend this as an additional tool for Facebook. The only real reason to use Facebook is for uploading pics, vids & status. But you need to keep under the allowed characters to use Facebooks ignorant color background to get way more views. I If not. Not many ppl will even see it. It’s worth as an add on. And plz come back & leave a comment of the specific person glitches when you review this. Hope to read others soon..Version: 7.4.1
✓ Recent July 2021 update tanked the appUpdate: Dev responded super quickly and released an update that resolved the page loading issues - now if we could just the page load to be black instead of blaring white (or follow system settings) that would bump it up to 5 stars I’ve been using friendly since I got my iPhone and it’s been acceptable up until now - now after the most recent update it seems to be much slower at loading, if it loads at all, and when it’s doing so it’s a blaring white screen (pretty rough if you use dark mode like I do) - I’m hoping the dev is seeing these reports/reviews and rolls back changes if possible.Version: 8.9.9
✓ So far so good!I couldn’t get FB to work in the official FB app. I could not see notifications and it was driving my crazy. No amount of updating or uninstalling and reinstalling worked. So I looked for other options which lead me to Friendly. So far I am loving this app! I can see ALL my notifications and I’m seeing posts from all my friends not just who FB wants me to see. If I continue to like this app, I’m going to pay the extra to remove the ads. But they don’t really bother me anyway. They are not annoying. I have added Instagram to this but don’t really check it, so I cannot tell you how the other social networks work..Version: 7.4
✓ After updateWas my favorite facebook app till the buggy update rendered it useless. They released another update and it's not back to being brilliant too Thanks.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Desktop mode moved!Desktop mode isn't there anymore so I now can't do what I need. This wasn't mentioned in the updates - please put if back asap. Login issues on ios finally sorted - thanks. This is still one of the few apps that can do facebook messaging and timeline integrated together. Update - it's there but only if you click on Facebook in the middle of the top bar abs use that to switch. Phew!.Version: 8.5
✓ The best appAmazing interface,to be honest way better then original Facebook app,never lags easy options to go back,in short the best app for Facebook users.Version: 4.0.7
✓ Seems to be ok..Just downloaded this and checked it out, seems pretty good, can check groups and messages etc, and love the colour options!.Version: 4.3.2
✓ Brilliant alternative but...Update: As of today 28th of June 2022 Facebook may have changed something server side . Trouble loading main feed and night mode has stopped working image previews not showing etc.. basically broken! The only thing this needs now is the notifications sorted its 2019 now come on devs or is Facebook stopping you from doing this legally? Or does the app have to be native and rebuilt from scratch?.Version: 8.9.15
✓ Good Alternative to Facebook AppI started using this on my old phone because Facebook and Messenger kept crashing. I like that it has the option to show posts in chronological order and has other options like night mode and passcode lock to help you customise and make the best of your experience with the app. I do think it can be a bit slow sometimes but, overall, I still prefer it to the Facebook app..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Absolutely brilliant!With 2 Facebook accounts, this app has transformed my Facebook use. A simple click to switch between accounts plus more great features. Get it now!.Version: 3.5
✓ So easy to useMy niece got married 1 year ago and a video of their ‘first dance’ was posted on Facebook. I wanted to save this to my phone’s camera roll but their just wasn’t a way. That is until I came across ‘Friendly’. It’s so easy to use - just click on the purple cloud - and brilliant for downloading posted videos and pictures. A big thank you and thumbs up from me..Version: 7.8
✓ Its back!Thank you for bringing friendly back. The previous issues was really disappointing and made this app so useless but now it's back. The great friendly is back!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ The perfect way to browseThe perfect way to browse so many jumbled feeds. Without the tracking and company’s showing you what they want to see. I’d rather see it how I want it..Version: 8.9.15
✓ Best alternative to the Facebook appIf you need to use Facebook, want more features then the Facebook website, but don't trust the Facebook app, Friendly is for you. It even has ad blocking for the news feed! I've tried a couple of other Facebook app alternatives over the years, but they all either have stopped being updated or just don't work very well. Making an app like this that works well and maintaining it for years takes some serious dedication. Friendly's not quite as smooth as the Facebook app, but given that it's a custom browser that applies a lot of tweaks to the Facebook site, that's to be expected. Can't have it all..Version: 8.9.13
✓ The last update broke it.The five stars are awarded for when it works. After the last update no pages load..Version: 8.9.8
✓ The only way to use FacebookI’ve been using Friendly ever since Papers was discontinued by Facebook (for being too nice, apparently). Friendly is superb, the developer is constantly updating and refreshing it, and I prefer using this to even the desktop browser for reading Facebook. Grab it now, you won’t regret it!.Version: 7.0
✓ Friendly ?I’ll tell you what’s not ‘Friendly’. It’s quite maddening when one is texting a comment on a post, but needs to take an incoming call, when returning to finish the comment, finding the app has lost it. This forces one to reopen the app and start all over, ...very annoying ! …and why can’t I see my friends’ comments on my posts. or find the damn groups I subscribe to ?? 😡 Pathetic !.Version: 8.9.33
✓ Easy and light on storageI have been using Frienly for a few years. I love that it allows me to easily flip between my personal profile with family and my business profile that I share with the world..Version: 7.3
✓ Lot of improvementSince my previous negative review, I lot of improvement happened . Great to see developers listen, make changes and app doesn’t stay static.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Awesome Alternative For PrivacyI recently deleted Facebook and Facebook Messenger due to privacy concerns. While Apple has done a lot in the newest iOS versions Facebook has still managed to circumvent some things. I don’t think I can post links here but if you look up recent findings on Facebook privacy you will see that a researcher discovered that Facebook still taps into the accelerator on the phone and can retrieve information from that. Anyway, while Friendly isn’t perfect is certainly a very good alternative to The Facebook app and you can still use messenger..Version: 8.9.10
✓ At long last , multitaskingA great app if like me you own an iPad and want to multitask, something FB seem adamant they don’t want. Upgrade to the pro version was a very acceptable and reasonable £1.99 Bringing all these social media platforms into one app is sheer genius and it’s been 100% stable. Look don’t read, download it and then upgrade to the pro version, you will not regret it..Version: 7.9.5
✓ The best App there is 👏🏼I just found this app! I love that it has everything in one app, IG etc Instead of having to download different apps this one takes the cake. I also love that it has different colour options, and it can be turned to night mode at night. I have an addiction to shop on Marketplace and this does not have it -so again it’s the best for what it can provide. My phone has very small memory space so this is very convenient. Despite the constant adds it’s not an issue at all. I will no longer be using FB or IG app. Thank you.Version: 8.0.2
✓ ConvenientEasy and convenient to use, due to having a few accounts for work and personal use, this app makes it easy to navigate between my accounts..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Almost perfectUsing social media apps without the insidious tracing and data gathering makes this ALMOST the perfect app. However, I can no longer access a feature which this app used to have. Are used to be able to save images from social media websites that would originally let you save images and videos. I don’t know if this is a bug, but I would really love this feature back..Version: 8.9.7
✓ Can’t live without itThis app makes life so much easier. It has all the options you need to mange numerous profiles and so much more. It really is an app you can’t live without and makes you wonder how you managed before it..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Really goodPin protection, multiple accounts and messenger function make this a fantastic app, although the messaging could be a bit more user friendly..Version: 5.7
✓ A few PostsI only shows me the last few posts as I don’t have friends. I am a very secluded person who has not a lot of friends, most not even on FB. I feel discriminated not to be able to see what others do :(.Version: 7.7
✓ Facebook FriendlyGood to have no ads on plus side. On negative side cannot scroll through photos posted and is a bit slow navigating. Still a good app though just needs a few tweaks and it will be perfect. Hopefully the app people will read this and make a few adjustments..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Updated FeedbackI’m happy to adjust feedback now you have fixed the crash in the app. Perhaps you only tested it it on Apple’s latest iPhone software but some of us won’t upgrade to that until Apple fix that too! This is one of those apps I cannot do without - a replacement for both Facebook and instagram not a supplement to. It’s better than both by a long distance (Facebook I particularly hate). But the number of updates you make to it can sometimes seem counterintuitive. There’s a difference between fixing bugs and changing the functionality of it, often not to its advantage. It’s a great app, probably one of the most used on my iPhone..Version: 8.0.3
✓ Great alternative- Facebook needs tweakingI’m liking this alternative and also many options in one app. Facebook- I do hope that the developers can improve the syncing of notifications appearing even after things have been clicked/read etc. Also when you press the home button (on the bottom left) you see all the previous seen screens scroll by instead of going directly to the home screen. Thanks for this alternative and I appreciate the small charge to eliminate adverts and set it to show Recent First.Version: 7.4.2
✓ Kept me from abandoning FacebookI HATE the political saturation of social media. I was so nauseated by what I saw that I wanted to block some of my own family. I had deleted the Facebook app off my phone and was seriously toying with the idea of deleting my account altogether..... then I discovered "Friendly" not only does it allow me to filter out all the political posts and mud slinging, it also allows me to block ads something that is also very important to me. I will never go back to the official Facebook app. Thank you for this app. 🙂.Version: 7.9.2
✓ App not working anymoreUpdated, and now won’t open. It just close when trying to open. Pls fix, thanks.Version: 8.5.1
✓ CrashThis is my preferred way of viewing Facebook, recently it has started crashing and freezing, only correcting when I restart my device. As others have said it could be so much more and so much better, it would only require a few tweaks to outdo Facebook app and many others. Please fix this Friendly team..Version: 8.9.21
✓ Just as good as Facebook appI’m able to use friendly to get to my FB feed. It works the same as the iPhone app, as far as I can tell. The one drawback is I do have trouble using the search bar to find people. If I want to go to a friend’s page, I don’t know how to search for them. I have to go to my friends list. I didn’t see much in the app description about privacy. One of my friends just posted that the FB app is looking at your “off Facebook activity” and you need go to FB app settings to turn that off. I think using Friendly prevents such spying. Friendly has me logging in quite frequently. That is a little annoying..Version: 8.0.3
✓ Great idea, but has some bugsJust heard of this app, and I love it so far. The Messenger section of the app is a little buggy though. I can’t see all group chats for some reason. There are two larger group chats that I’m a part of that don’t show. These group chats have a name associated with them, so I’m not sure if that has something to do with it. The small groups that just display the names of the people in them seem to show. Another bug seems to be that I can’t clear the unread message count. I even open up the messenger app to make sure I can clear my notifications, but the count doesn’t go away..Version: 8.9.10
✓ Good app, very useful, BUTFriendly no longer has the save button for video posts on Instagram, though I can still save photo posts. Over than that, great app..Version: 8.9.7
✓ Please respond →Desperately needs a FWD ⏭ button/functionCan you please add a “Forward” ❯ button or swiping function? Currently you only have a ❮ back button that appears when browsing. And also only the go backwards swiping works but not the swiping forward. As you know every browser has both a ❮go backwards function and a ❯ go forward one. If your app already has this ability please let me know how it works. Thank you so much! - JR ------- My Last REVIEW------- There's no debating that this App is hands down a lot better option for smartphone users. Instead of handing over most of ones cellphone privacy by using the official Facebook and FB Messenger iOS apps. I've been using this app for nearly 3 years. And I want to thank the developers who consistently work extremely hard to keep the app at optimal performance. The only bug that I continue to have for as long as I can remember now is when it comes to clicking on the notification that someone has accepted my friendship. Once I click on this area it doesn't show how these new friendship additions are. But instead it says there no new friendships. However later when I go on from my laptop I see that I truly did have some new friends added. Can you please address this issue asap? Thank you again!.Version: 8.7
✓ Great for when you want a simpler Facebook.Recently the iOS FB app started displaying 2 rows of Stories. Stories are Ok, but I don’t want my initial display totally taken over with them. Side note - FB, stop trying to be Tiktok. You’re an old man’s social network. ANYWAY this app lets you revert to a time many years ago when the feed was simple, pure, and had no ads. It’ll also block tracking. Use FB in the old way, and find out if you like it better than the modern iOS app. I’ve kept both, but I suspect I’ll use Friendly a lot. Recommended..Version: 8.9.7
✓ A great little app but...It’s great to have my go to social apps in one location. If this were an older gen iPhone it would be perfect. It customizable for the most part . Ad blocker works great unless you click on a link that takes you outside the app. Passcode lock so people can’t view you stuff if you hand someone your phone. All in all a great little app but does not fit the iPhone X screen you know the unibrow which I have grown accustomed to. So I hope it is updated soon. To the Dev : You have done a great job and I have bought the paid version to support your efforts. For now though I am going to stick with the main apps and come back in a bit and hope for an update. Looking forward to progress..Version: 6.5.2
✓ Best app for Social MediaI use this app multiple times daily & recently had an issue. Reported it using the message section ,it was promptly fixed & I had a message back from the team explaining how to resolve. No other app compares for social media & downloads.Version: 8.9.25
✓ Wow this is everything real FB should of beenIts fast i mean fast. Messenger and chat in same app customizable. Ads can be blocked looks great and its real fast. Dont hesitate get it i deleted official app after 2 minutes with this.Version: 5.5
✓ Great appWas using MyPad but thought I would give this a go - and I won't be going back! Works very well, user interface very intuitive and the app can do pretty much anything you want of it. Only downside at the moment is that it isn't all that stable when it comes to "liking" someone's comment but I'm sure that will get fixed in a later version. Top stuff all in all!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Not able to useWorked great without any problem however past few days I am not able to use it as soon I try to open It goes off . Please fix this ..Version: 8.9.21
✓ Thanks for breaking my addictionI absolutely love this app. Go ahead and get the paid version. Totally worth it. No ads or FB trying to remind me about the vax. It’s definitely more like just using a web browser on your phone so it’s not as streamlined but I don’t care. I’ve whittled down who I follow and love that you can leave it in most recent for your newsfeed. For the developers: please add a feature where you can stop seeing things outside of your mileage range on marketplace. I’d love to get rid of the “ships to you” stuff. Thanks!!.Version: 8.9.7
✓ Facebook MessengerI initially gave this a low rating because of the inability to change the user agent, to get the Messaging to work in Facebook. After some playing around I managed find an alternate way to change the User Agent, to get things working, so I’ve changed my review and rating. Although a comprehensive help file would be very useful. Thanks..Version: 8.9.27
✓ DifferentNew version is always good It slow so you can read things proper It jumps quickly as it has to rush through..Version: 7.0.1
✓ User Friendly, Handles multiple accounts with easeUpdated 2018: No crashes. Nice to check multiple accounts and all my private groups. I like the look and feel and flow. I configured it to see posts from only my friends and not distracting news feeds from 3rd parties. I used it in 2016 and 2017 in order to check multiple business accounts and pages. That is where it shines!! I am down now to only 2 accounts now and plan to stick with Friendly. To me, it's far more user friendly than the FB app..Version: 7.3
✓ Great appI was so pleased to find this app for iPad. It works well. Love the switch between users as my husband and myself both use iPad. This is a great app for those disappointed that the Facebook app is only for iPhone. It's even better now with the update that has fixed a few issues. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Keep updating pleasePlease keep updating. Please remove ugly splash screen UI, create better icons, update search UI, update messenger push notifications as they don’t work. Keep updating this great app, it has potential..Version: 8.0.3
✓ The best 3rd party appFirst of all, it's pretty poor that there is no dedicated iPad Facebook app, and only an iPhone app. Having used this 3rd app now for a few weeks, and compared it to the other ones, I find this the best one there is out there amongst the free options. Occasionally the chat is a bit buggy, and there is no push notifications option. If your internet connection drops out during use, sometimes it needs a hard reset to re-connect to Friendly. Fix those minor issues, and it will be as good as the full web Facebook experience..Version: 3.5.1
✓ FriendlyUpdated my app the whole thing went blank deleted app and tried to install app twice nothing just wont go into app when I click on it never had trouble before.Version: 8.5.1
✓ Awesome 4 out of 5 rateThis app is totally amazing. You do not have to download messenger app for you to read the important messages. It is very smooth and easy to operate. The ads are the only downside of it. But overall worth it to download :).Version: 7.0
✓ Facebook app alternative!It’s great as a Facebook app alternative. The annoying problem is the “…more” links. They’re supposed to expand the text to let you read more… but the links are so small, most “clicks” end up opening the whole message to a new window, which is pretty slow. It would be nice if clicking on or about the more links would just expand the text. It’s a real hassle to slow down so much to aim and just miss at those tiny links..Version: 8.9.10
✓ More space!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely amazing, what a fantastic app! Facebook was using the best part of 8 gigs/megs? (Whichever one is the bigger) and my phone was pretty much useless, by using Friendly I’ve got ALL that space back for other things like more pics and vids of my kids and music and podcasts with no restrictions on my social media addiction 😉.Version: 7.4.2
✓ EssaieJe vais l’essayer peut-être que ça va être cool.Version: 8.9.30
✓ Good app!So far, I really like having Friendly. Mainly, I they allow me to use the Facebook newsfeed and the messenger all in one app, and it doesn’t take up as much space. It’s been kinda screwy lately, but there was just an update promising to fix a bunch of bugs, so we’ll see how that improves. The only thing I would love to see added is the calling feature. I live somewhere that makes it hard for people to call me on regular phone service, so some people use the messenger or WhatsApp. None of my friends from outside of my area have WhatsApp though, so it makes it a little less helpful. Everyone seems to have FB messenger though, because they’re FORCED to. I have both this app and the original Facebook app on my phone still, because there are a couple of things that I have found hard to do on friendly and I have had to go to the other one to do. But other than those small annoyances, and the lack of a calling feature, I really like this app. Thank you!.Version: 6.5.1
✓ Great piece of workGetting so frustrated with the original Facebook app. This is so much better - more customisable and much better features. Also for some reason videos would not play on the original but no problem on this. Excellent..Version: 5.0
