iOS users download the new Facebook app for ios devices. It's much improved, and mega fast.

Yea, it is pretty sad. Its almost better just to get on the mobile Facebook site than to waste the space on the app.

Android should get the same treatment as iOS gets with updates and everything, I am myself an iOS user. I feel like both are up to par and should be released, not later down the road.

it seems that android facebook app will never be par compare to iOS version if facebook wont force its employees so that it will see the flaws for themselves...

better buy a low/mid range device so that you will surely see them!!!

Isn't Google+ way better than FaceBook anyway why would Android user adopt FaceBook anyway especially if FaceBook has to be forced to make for Android

It's about time they did something to improve the app, it needs a lot of work!

The android app is terrible, Friendcaster does a better job IMO but I am not a fan of the UI of that app.

The android could actually be significantly better than the IOS version due to the larger screens sizes and jelly bean style.

I like the fact facebook are intent on improving their android app

I really hope they improve it, cause right now it's a battery sucker! It's the application that is always on top of the battery usage: and that's even if I don't open it!

I don't understand how you can "force" a person to use an Android phone. It would be like "forcing" a dog to chew on a bone, like "forcing" Winnie the pooh to eat honey, like "forcing" Usain Bolt to run fast.

You don't "force" a person to use an Android phone. A person chooses to use an Android phone naively, given he\she is given the opportunity to do so.
