Great Facebook companion
James_Tang_CS- Pros
- This is something Facebook should have created. It makes Facebook convenient and more engaging. I'm used to stock price tickers, sports scores so why not Facebook posts. Well done application.
- Cons
- Got Twitter?
- Summary
- Creative user interface - this is an app made with the immediacy and bite-size info that we all want and are used to.
I love this app!
Nikko1999- Pros
- I've been using this for a week now. I love it! It makes checking Facebook so easy. And I get to pick my favorite friends. And I have no problem with battery life.
- Cons
- None right now but like I said in my last review, I would like to see posts for the pages / celebrities / stuff that I Like!
- Summary
- If you love Facebook, this is the app for your on your laptop/desktop.
Still hijacks the NVIDIA GPU and kills battery life
summerstormpictures- Pros
- Still a good idea.
- Cons
- Still cuts my battery life in half.
- Summary
- There's no reason this needs the discrete graphics processor. It should work just fine with the much more power efficient Intel chipset. This is just a ticker. It doesn't display video or anything remotely requiring graphics acceleration.
Brilliant app! Love it.
Nikko1999- Pros
- Awesome interface - very creative. Makes Facebook convenient again - now I don't have to scroll through everyone's posts. I get just the people I care about.
- Cons
- Would like to see Like pages also so I can follow my favorite groups and celebrities.
- Summary
- Really well done app.
Very convenient tool for checking FB status
WinstonChen74- Pros
- I like this idea, very convenient, non-intrusive, also easy to use. I find it suits me better sitting on the side of the screen, instead of at the bottom of the screen. I have a 30 inch screen, so its not a problem giving some of the real estate to the app. Might be an issue for smaller screens, like a laptop. I use a macbook pro, don't have any issue of the slowness as other users. Also love the fact I can write comments inside the app, instead of launch a browser. Super easy!
- Cons
- The first welcome screen could be more useful. It took me a while to figure out I need to select my friends first in order to get updates. It also didn't show updates the second time when I launch the app. Have to reselect my friends again. Wish it could remember my choice from last time.
- Summary
- All in all, a pretty cool tool to help me keep track of my friends' updates, so I dont have to log into Facebook every 10 minutes to check. :D
Cool idea for checking FB friends' status updates.
kdavenger- Pros
- Ticker rolling FB updates, cool idea. very slick UI (dragging it around and dock on the side is very nice). It will be nice to combine stock/news/twitter updates etc.
- Cons
- It is a little bit CPU intensive, but it is somewhat expected. I will imagine because all the UI updates of the feeds are taking up some resources. Definitely not your average utility tool since all the tickers rolling by. But if it is price you pay for nice UI, then i am for it.
- Summary
- first version product, nice concept, love the UI, improvement needed (waiting for more updates), will definitely use it
Hijacks the NVIDIA GPU and kills battery life
summerstormpictures- Pros
- Good idea.
- Cons
- Yet another inspired application poorly coded so that instead of simply using the battery-friendly onboard Intel chipset, it hijacks the NVIDIA GPU and cuts battery life in half.
- Summary
- For a utility that is designed with the obvious intent to be constantly running, bad choices in programming have unfortunately been made. Intensive multimedia applications should definitely access and make good use of the discrete graphics NVIDIA GPU, but what amounts to a simple utility should not. This is definitely not a good trade-off for dropping from 5-plus hours of mobility down to 2.5 hours. So many app developers need to step away from the desktop computer and hit the road with their laptops before releasing. Sadly, this is a good idea implemented badly.
