Dan Ward said: I wouldn’t necessarily ask if it’s not very stable, but rather if it’s stable at all.
Jim McCabe said: Sometimes it seems to completely lose its connection to the server. After that point, you need to restart the app.
Ed said: I’ve noticed the app to hang up quite often where it becomes unresponsive and has to be restarted.
Of course, to present a balanced view, Fonz said: I am happy with the app, it doesn’t cause any more problems than any other app i use
On balance though, I think it’s fair to say that many people have noticed issues with the App, from the unreliable date-stamping of posts, through to contact/messages disappearing as you scroll through them, to the App crashing.
As I mentioned before, it’s frustrating because it’s a very popular and otherwise well thought-out App. Can we have a fix please Facebook?

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

HA HA HA HA!!! I’ve been trying on the Facebook app page on Facebook since the first few days after the new version of the app was released and nothing. I think the developer is gone…

It’s a free app; you get what you pay for. Get over it.

I know it’s a free app but it’s driving me crazy at how much it crashes! I”d be willing to pony up a few dollars for a better product that’s stable. Please Fix soooon!!!

Crashed on me constantly. I can’t even remember the last time I closed it on my own. I have to open it 8 or 9 times just to read status messages. Free isn’t an excuse to put out shit code.

Facebook 2.1 is now available and it seems to fix the instability issues
