Facebook 3.0 in the App Store
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch)" @ 09:00 AM
"After a couple of weeks of waiting in the iTunes app store approval queue, the 3rd major update of the popular Facebook for iPhone application has been released. Joe Hewitt, the developer of the app, has been working on it for quite some time and submitted it for review on 8/16."
If you use the Facebook App, you definitely want to upgrade to 3.0. A couple of the improvements were improvements to the news feed with direct link to the comments section, you can "like" posts now, you can RSVP to events and you can create/upload photos to albums. It is also much cleaner in design, or at least it seems that way to me. I couldn't get the App Store application on my iPhone to recognize that there was an update, so I just downloaded it manually and it worked fine. Some have been reporting not seeing it in the App Store or only seeing version 2.5. It is suggested that you delete your app and then download it again to fix that problem. Once you do, let us know what you think!
