Before there were iPhone Apps there were iPhone Web Apps. One of the more outstanding Web Apps that was introduced was the FaceBook Web App. Although the FaceBook Web App was very well rounded, FaceBook would not be left behind with the release of the iPhone SDK. Thus, we have the iPhone FaceBook App.

See what it’s all about!
The FaceBook app for the iPhone is quite disappointing I would say. The Web App seems to be more feature full than the Application. The App does include basic features such as checking messages, viewing your friends’ profiles and chatting with friends.

It also has five handy buttons on the bottom to access the five main parts of the program. You can also add pictures instantly to share your life to the minute.

However, you can’t check any Requests and it does not notify you of any one writing on your wall. You have to manually check it to see if someone has written on your wall. I thought that was a major blow to the app because I would like to be notified if someone has written on my Wall. Nevertheless, using the Web App makes up for all of this. Although It is one of my favorite apps for the iPhone, I can easily say it’s ranked on the lower end of my favorite apps. So try both the Web App and Native App.

How do I get this app?
This app is available for free through the Apple App Store.
(Requires you to have an iTunes Account )
To access the web app simply use Safari and point it to facebook.com.
