Not tab optimized
Er, I hate Facebook. But, can't you just use the browser for it?
Friendcaster works great on the tab!

I have it, I paid for it because it work great but then it was updated and tab optimized and the issues began. Some stuff will not show up on status updates, I can no longer sync to my contacts, which was great because my texting app (heywire) would show a picture of the person I'm texting with. Also if I click a photo someone posted it shows a completely different photo.
All that also happens on my cell phone along with the tab. I check it in the web browser now but sometimes the app was just faster and more easy to used.
Even though it's not optimized, I'm glad they finally updated it to include support for tablets. I was using the Samsung Social Hub before and just installed Overcome's ROM so I can get rid of the Hub now.
I tried FriendMe, Friend Caster, and just found Facebook (official?) apps. I still prefer to use the browser...
Facebook app keeps force closing. Can't check friend list. And it seems slow to load anything. For me the web-based UI is what I am familiar with and the one I seem to keep going back to.

Official Facebook app for Android literally just released minutes ago on the Android Market!
I come across it browsing the new apps and it was right up the top!!
Get it while it's hot! It has been long awaited!
Just got it and i like it, however, it still sort of buggy and certainly will be updated soon...
If i click on pictures someone posted from the feeds, the app crashes. Some of the functions will launch the browser, but it's a good start.
** Quick update **
Does come with a widget , No Live chat and No access to Inbox
This app need too much work. Please match the iphone app.
doesnt do much, i was hoping to be able to access my facebook phonebook. but nope.
in a way its better than x.facebook.com because you can comment and like stuff.
double post sorry.
You can access the facebook phone book as a live folder on the desktop. Just press and hold > Folders > Facebook Phonebook.
Yep , The facebook phonebook is pretty awesome ,
I wonder if the iphone app has this? Damn facebook favourtising the iphone and leaving android high and dry for quite a while.........
I wonder if it is even possible we will have the chat function in this app?
Its an early release so it sucks...Hopefully they will correct the bugs

It's not a tuma!
Err I mean, it's not an official facebook app. It's just called "facebook" and it uses facebook's icons, which may or may not annoy facebook itself.
Check out on http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=74769995908 :
This application was not developed by Facebook.

The Facebook mobile team had a "mixer" for it and everything:

Does anyone know if there is a decent Facebook app out there? So far I've tried the default one that came with the EVO, Bloo and Facebook Touch and they just don't do it for me. Is there a Facebook app that is as good as say, TweetCaster or Touiteur with a decent widget?
Cheers...
Not one that I've seen, unfortunately.
You're better off sticking to the browser. Facebook on Android blows.

I know. If there was just one that was as good as TweetCaster... that would be tiiite.
I am fairly disappointed by how many options there are for Facebook, and how poor they really are. I find myself using the full website more often than not.
I still open the official FB application first, just to get a quick look, and if I'm still bored, I'll open up the site. The friendstream stuff, and the feed updates on contacts are pretty worthless, IMO. By default, there are like 3 different services pulling FB feeds, and there should only be one. I liked the way my Palm Pre worked, where everything was integrated into the OS--even FB chat.
Just use the browser. Another option is "FULL SITE", which gives you the desktop version of facebook.
Too bad they can't get the developer who created the facebook for iPhone app.
I accidentally deleted the official Facebook app that came preloaded with my Iconia...now every time I attempt to download it from the Android Market it says not compatible with my device. What gives? Where can I get a copy? Did a google search for facebook.apk for some of those links look shady! Thanks.

The facebook app 1.6 isn't compatible with HC 3.1, so even if you get it it won't work, unless yoour not on HC 3.1 in which case no idea.

the original facebook app on the iconia was just a link to facebook.com. no app from facebook currently works on honeycomb. Download friend me from the market. It links into face book and gives a nice interface into facebook, honeycomb optimized.

This is absolutely not true i have facebook on my acer it is version 1.5.4 so, although 1.6 may not work, facebook does in fact work. You just need the right version.
that being said friend me is better on HC for sure.

i've always had the market facebook market app. The only problems are that widget and friend button doesnt work
edit
Las Facebook update works really well. Even the widget.
Try rooting your tablet and user market enabler
seems having a problem with the market and facebook, can't from the tablet get it
said : not available, retry... hu
on my second tablet I got the 1.6 I will extract it, and install on second tablet.. but it's weird
Just checked again and I can't even find the FB app on the market. The only day I can find it is if I got to GoChat and look under related apps. If I try to download it, I get the "the request you have made cannot be found.
I'm kind of just sticking to using FB in Dolphin HD. The desktop version on there works well enough.
I tried using Friend Me and although I love the interface, its missing much functionality and can't even get basics correct. Notifications are out of wack, can't refresh 'em and the app just doesn't seem to want to update the FB content. I have to logout and log back in in order to update my notifications.
Like I said, browser FB works well enough and GoChat for chat works perfectly.
It appeared on my Iconia last night and I downloaded it without any problems. I've also had problems downloading it in the past - I could find it on Market, but it couldn't be downloaded.
Friend Me app will do the job but you get ads on the bottom of the screen which I hate as much as not having FB on my tablet lol
i use social jogger for news feed and friendcaster for detailed interaction
I have an ASUS Transformer that shipped with Android 3.0, one of my Bosses has just had an Android 3.1 Transformer arrive.
3.0 Provided Facebook and Twitter apps and widgets
3.1 does not
Has anyone else with a 3.0 version tablet(updated via OTA or flashing to 3.1) had problems getting the facebook app to update?
Should I uninstall the app and try to get it from the Market?

the facebook app was updated and the transformer was added to incompatible for the facebook app.
That sucks. You can use Launcher Pro with their sweet widgets.
As big as Facebook is, I'm sure it will get updated quickly. They've been updating it pretty frequently.
That or some awesome dev here will get it working. Maybe just something with the build.prop.
Well that answers it then.
Damn you Facebook, roll on Google+
My transformer shipped without Facebook so I went ahead and download Friend Me which is actually better in my opinion.
I had to download the APK from the forums since the market was stating incompatibility with the tablet however it works fine.
Why a facebook app?
Facebook in the browser works flawlessly! Add in the keyboard dock and you are no different than using it as if it was a windows PC.

FriendMe works even more flawlessly. Give it a try.
Only annoyance with Facebook in browser is that the full site goes back to the mobile website after pressing the top left "Facebook"
FRIEND ME isn't perfect but very nice and intuitive...

Weird. I haven't had that issue. Is your user agent set permanently? I use the
stock browser.
Friendme looks nice, but I don't like third party programs taking my facebook info and to my knoweldge, Friendme doesn't have chat?

It's set to Android. It'd probably fix it as setting it to Desktop but I prefer having it set to Android. Just tried it, top left is now fixed. Now when I hit Home it goes to the mobile page of Facebook.
I can't figure out why the Facebook App on the N10 acts differently than on my N7 and N4.
For example I can't access my timeline by clicking on my profile as usual, instead it only shows a protocol of my last actions/activities.
It doesn't seem normal to me, is it a bug on the N10 out is it a crappy feature?

Same issue here. Pictures are missing too.
I've tried to force it to a different layout or size with Paranoid Android, but no joy
Try Friendcaster instead?
Friendcaster FTW :good:. It works perfectly, loads fast, runs great, and looks beautiful on the Nexus 10. I enjoyed it so much more over the official Facebook app that I decided to buy the ad free version .
Never even installed it, just got used to using the web version on my X2 cause the app sucks
What is facebook? Isn't every one on G+? Buahaha!!!!
I reported it two days ago. Been fixed today...
Problem with Friendcaster and other third party apps is that if any of your friends have set their privacy settings to not allow use of their timeline by third party apps, you won't see their posts.
Updated Facebook app today is way faster sometimes, but I'm also getting long hangs I never got before when tapping on notifications.
I generally on the N10 just look at FB in Chrome. Wish they'd get a tablet app out!

The latest update 121312 is really good... best version of FB app ever for Android.
Am I also supposed to get huge images in the timeline???
