FriendCaster for Facebook

by Handmark, Inc.
Removed from the App Store

This is another free option worth checking out. There is a banner ad at the bottom, but if you “Click to Share”, you post a Facebook status that is an ad for FriendCaster, and then YOU don’t have any more ads in the app. A little ironic, no? I don’t like sales tactics like that, but if you can look past that nonsense -- I suppose everyone needs to make a buck -- it’s actually a pretty good app. It’s uncluttered with a simple UI. Your photos are in the left column in landscape view. In portrait view, you just have the news feed. This app lacks Chat, but it is promised in a future update. What makes this app stand out is the Steam mode. You can choose a custom background and watch your news feed stream live, all day if you like. For Facebook addicts, well, this just makes Facebook all the more addictive. For me, the major thing missing is Messages -- it’s a vital Facebook feature that I sincerely hope they will add.
