So Facebook fans who have Android phones, Facebook Home is out and available. That’s where the good news ends. If you look at Google Play the average rating is 2.3 stars and the majority of ratings are 1 star ratings.
Can you say #epicfail? Oh, sorry. Wrong social networking site.
Here’s what users had to say:
Not an intuitive app. Made my phone so frustratingly complicated to use that I uninstalled after just four or five hours. Unless major changes are made including an easy way to get to my home screen I will not reinstall.
So I downloaded the app, and within 10 minutes of downloading, I uninstalled. Was not impressed by this app at all. Might be nice for some people, but not me.
I tried it ,and to be honest, it just was too much. I would like it better if it was just the lock screen, but it gets annoying. Plus, it hid most of my other apps (namely google ones lol).
It won’t let you launch the app without clearing your preference for a home screen, the app doesn’t have customizable shortcuts for the main screen, adding apps to the app screen is lame. Just getting to the phone app to make a call takes too many clicks. It’s a phone first people. Needs a lot of work. The app needs to help a phone be more functional and integrated, not take away from the flexibility that android provides.
Now there are good reviews. But most of them are like this. Not good if you are Facebook. The question is, how will Facebook respond.
