Like: Pica For Facebook Gets Reloaded! Unlike: It Still Fails To Load
August 4, 2012
It appears that Pica for Facebook is making up for its months of inactivity prior to its huge update last June. Just hours ago, the iPad-only Facebook client made by Tiny Whale received another significant update.

For its part, the latest update to Pica adds the following new features:
The new version of Pica for Facebook is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a $1.99 download. Its new enhancements are all well and good, but how are we supposed to enjoy them if the app keeps on crashing and refusing to load? Old habits, eh, Pica?
