The software is written using HTML5, typical for Facebook, and the TechCrunch editors praise the navigation system in particular. While the FB application for iPhone is a little uncomfortable, the fact that the one for the iPad uses a main menu on the left, which can be accessed by pressing a button or a swipe motion on the screen, is already a big plus in our cards.
The software also uses several overlapping menus, a common feature for the software found on the iPad and when you will turn the tablet in landscape mode, you will be able to see a list of the online contacts. As a result, you can access the chat function. What is more, another great feature is incorporated in the right way in the FB app for the iPad. The photo viewer looks great, reminiscent of the photo gallery application on the iPad.
Keep in mind the fact that all of these functions were found in the 3.4.4 Facebook application for iPhone which brought minor improvements on the handset, such as return the of the “Send” button for comments and chat. From what we know so far, even Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook creator, was involved in the developing of the application for the iPad and we can certainly see the desired results. When we will also see a Google + app designed for the iPad? Until then, we are looking forward to the official release the iPad FB app!
