Facebook For iPhone Finally At 3.0

2 Comments

I’ve been waiting impatiently for weeks, especially since we heard that the new version had been submitted for review. It is now live.

The new Facebook 3.0 comes with all kinds of goodness, including a (much needed) complete redesign of the UI. The best thing about it is that it acts just like the iPhone’s home screen. Each of the App’s home screen options is easy to read and straight forward. Not only that, you can add pages and people’s profiles to the screen a la bookmarks on the Home screen. This makes the app the most intuitive app out there to date.

Along with the UI enhancements came a plethora of new features that have been requested since day one. These include the ability to Like statuses, get every kind of update instead of only Requests, the ability to call and SMS everyone who lists their phone number on the profile, being able to see common friends between your friends list. Not only that, you can even re-arrange the icons on the app’s home screen just like you can with your iPhone. Hold an icon and they all begin to wiggle.

Like everyone else, my only complaint is that this app doesn’t (yet) support push notifications. If it did it would be hands down the best application yet. Supposedly it’s coming in the next update or two. What are your first impressions?
