Rant 315 10/11/12 Subject: The Facebook app

Rant number 315

Following the update to IOS 6 on iPhone and related devices, the Facebook app ended up with more bugs than a termite hill full of flys - and termites, and ants.

You get the idea.

As such they realised this and came back with another app.

Which - just like every single Facebook app previously released - was full of bugs...

In the past for instance, the app used to crash when you clicked on a picture - so they released an update to fix that.

And it did, but it then had a problem with refreshing the news feed.

They then released a news feed refresh fixing app - which caused the pictures of people to change to other people - which was somewhat odd and confusing.

So they released an app to fix that. Which then worked OK for a while - but then started to crash when you clicked on posts.

You'd think they'd learn by now - that you need to fix a problem without creating another. Maybe the programmers are making sure they will always have work for in future - and so write in another bug to avoid being obsolete.

As for the new version, that one has a really annoying little bug to it - which means that it shows you about 4 posts from today - before jumping back 24 hours - which is really stupid.

Why they can't just make a version that works then call it quits - I don't know.

Rant over.
