Friendcaster For Facebook Hits Version 5, Brings All New Interface, Real-time Notifications, And Numerous Bug Fixes

Posted by in Applications, News

I don't know a single person who has Facebook and doesn't check it on their phone. I also don't know a single person who doesn't hate how ridiculously slow the official Facebook app is. Fortunately, Facebook has APIs that allow third-party applications to do everything that you would normally use the official app to do - and it many cases, they do it better. A good example of "doing it better" is Friendcaster fro Facebook, which just so happened to receive an pretty massive update to version 5 today.

Version 5 brings many new features to the app, but the most notable is the all-new interface (which looks absolutely fantastic).

OneLouder Apps Releases ChannelCaster Into The Android Market, A DIY Social News Aggregator

Posted by in Applications, News

The developer of popular apps like Tweetcaster and FriendCaster, OneLouder Apps, has released yet another app to its 'Caster' series: ChannelCaster.

ChannelCaster is a new aggregator that adds a social element to the way your news is delivered, much like News360. You can create your own channels, and share them publicly so others can see what your feed is pulling. Similarly, you can browse all other public channels to find interesting content feeds that other users have put together.

The app can pull content from multiple services like Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, and other news sites/blogs. It offers a multitude of various categories, everything from fashion to social gossip, sports, local, and life, as well as offering quick access to basic information like stocks, weather, horoscope, and more.

FriendCaster Tab Gets A Complete Facelift, Brings All New Features

Posted by in Applications, News

Even though FriendCaster Tab was "Honeycomb's first Facebook app," when it initially hit the Market it was, in a word, lackluster. It offered basic access to Facebook, but it was missing quite a few of the most commonly used features.

Since then, the dev has been hard at work completely redesigning the app - and the end result landed in the Market today. The updated app is similar to the phone version, but utilizes Fragments in Honeycomb, and it looks quite good. The new interface reminds me of FriendMe, but after messing around with it for just a few minutes, I think I like FriendCaster Tab better.

[New App] FriendCaster Tab For Facebook, Now You Can Virtually Mingle In HD

Posted by in Applications, News

So you have your shiny new tablet in front of you, fire up the market, download the Facebook app, and then it hits you: this app sucks. It was meant for phones, not tablets. Wouldn't it be great if there were a Facebook app that was optimized for tablets? Yeah, that would be pretty rad... Oh, wait, there is! It's called FriendCaster Tab, and according to the developer, it's the first Facebook app optimized for tablets.

It covers all of the basics that you need out of a Facebook app, including status updates, access to the news feed, and the ability to like and comment friends' status updates.
