Pretty much.

After two attempts at theming it, I have declared it the worst written app on android.

It seems the only way to make it work, potentially, is to build a ROM around it

just use m.facebook.com

it seriously is the worst refutable, if you can call it that, app

The app is so freaking slow, you are probably better off with out it opening.
Maybe after the IPO Facebook will have enough money to afford to have someone fix it.

The annoying part is that the iOS app works flawlessly. No love for Android :-(

Its probably the WORST app EVER. Someone should go take a **** on Zuckerbergs chest tonight.

For reals, and there is so much more functionality in the iOS app, I mean I would like to be able to tag people in pictures on upload too. #failZuckerburg

+1 for m.facebook.com. terrible terrible app. Of course, just like Spotify, Android takes a back seat with the devs. Anyone know why this is? I would assume with Android being more widely used they would at least try to make the android apps functioning.

I have an iPad and use the Facebook app,; trust me, its crap on that, too. It loads a little better than the Android app, but it kicks me out the application constantly. The teams in charge of the mobile apps are doing a poor job.

i like the app so far besides the fact the default page is 'ads' rather than avatar tab with friends and messages. and the size is rather large compared to spark360, but it works much more reliably.

Its decent so far.. hopefully it gets updated frequently.

Good app,just wish it had more feels like somethings missing.

Any good toddler learning apps on android?

I been searching for.some time now for any educational apps for my 18 months son with little luck.
Most apps are geared towards older children,not to mention not too many have child lock on them to prevent children from hitting capacitive buttons.Seem like all good children's apps or on ipad/iPhone and I won't to avoid this option if I can help it.
Anyone know of any good apps?
Here are few apps that I have so far that are usefull and not too complicated for children that are 1-3 years old.
1 Toddle Animal Numbers (Probably the best one,its educational and its free)
2 Undersea Adventure for Toddler (Not really educational but a fun and simple game,and its free)
3 Kids Doodle Paint (Best thing about this is that it has child's lock built in,so you can go to sleep while they draw and not have to worry about them turning it off,this one is free too)
And that's about it,yeah I know that's a damn shame.Rest that I tried is to complex.

Apps by intellijoy.
Also, there are lots of interactive books by people like "Oceanhouse media" (the book reads and the child interacts with the page.)

This is a good thread, I have an app called "kid mode" that has a lot of stuff in it, my 18 mo old daughter likes it.

They are toddlers...
They can take your iPad, S3 or whatever you have before you blink. So its better find them with the phone in theirs hands than see your gadgets on the toilet or trash can because they got bored.
Thats why also I have a Otter Defender.

If I had kids I would. Getting them a grasp of new things at an early age is important and most useful for the future. Smartphones are only materialistic items so I wouldn't care really unless they're looking at things they aren't supposed too.

Here are the apps that my 3 year old plays with and has played with for a long time (probably since he was 18 mo.)
Monkey Preschool Lunchbox (His absolute FAVORITE!)
Color & Draw for kids phone ed
Kids Connect the Dots Lite
Thomas Game Pack
Kids Piano Lite
Zebra Paint
SUPER WHY!
And here is the toddler lock I used to use before he really knew how to handle a phone.
Toddler Lock

When my daughter was 18 months old she liked learning animal sounds, She particularly liked the cat on this one Toddler Animal Sounds by Bluphant Games, They also do a paid for version which has a child lock built in it.
Now she's 3 however it's Peppa Pig all the way!

Facetime for Android?

Is there any such app that will allow me to be able to do facetime with family that have Iphones?

Google hangout works really good.

Similar to G+ hangouts...
Google Talk has Video Chat. It's built in to every Android phone.

I understand his question with an app that interfaces with facetime. All other users have to download Tango or other apps to use across OS's to get it to work. My wife has an Ipad that my 3 year old uses facetime to talk with his Aunt and its pretty seamless in the video and voice with out signal issues that we get using Tango on our slow satelite internet in the sticks. It would be nice if an app existed that interfaced with facetime but I understand apples stance if they wont allow this. Bastards I tell ya!

good to know. personally I don't own an "I" anything so had no way to test.
Some customers did the oovoo thing in store on their new s3's and it was pretty sweet. Sorry it did not work out.

I thought Apple kept facetime proprietary on purpose. didn't a Google engineer talk smack about it compared to the open api that talk uses?

true, yes they do/did. interoperability is not a goal or hallmark of iApple.
and it might have made sense when they were the only real game in town.
(i'm not insinuating that they ever were, just public perception)
now it just isolates the platform and it's users.
if they wish to stay relevant in the upcoming 5 years, they need to change this, seeing as Android is the dominant OS in the market, and only continues to increase. soon, no one will "pay for the privilege" of using a piece of software that is isolated from the majority of smartphone users. (you can actually apply this theory to any aspect of an iDevice)
as far as smack talking, i would not be surprised. and would love to read anything that is talking trash about iCompany.

Any progress on Wallet?

It has been known that the LGOG should have wallet and doesn't. I was wondering if anybody found/developed a workaround to this, as I really love Wallet and would love to be able to use it.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

No. And it won't be supported until Google decides to support it. Unless there is some crazy workaround that'll even get around Wallets crazy security features.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Wallet is pretty much dead, not just for this device but for most devices going forward. Corporate greed from the carriers all wanting a piece of the mobile payments pie pretty much killed any momentum Google had.
Quite frankly I've always thought Wallet was overrated and once you get over "wow" factor.

Why would it be embarrassing? It's worked everywhere, except for one particular McDonald's. Not sure why... The last time i tried it there, this annoying teenaged worker said "Some guy with an Sgs 3 just tried it a little while ago."

I love wallet. I use it on a daily basis. Pay for my gas with it and use it at the vending machine at work and Walmart. I don't see it as overrated. The clothing store next door to my job at work just started supporting it and the coolest part is they support 10% off all purchases when using wallet. I get 25% off bestbuy purchases over $50 at the store by my house
