Title: Why does Facebook functionality suck?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on September 15, 2012, 12:04:07 PM
I'm talking basic stuff here, I uploaded some pics from my phone, and now I can't move them to another album because it was a "multi picture upload". Is this the middle ages?

Also, you can no longer create albums when uploading from a phone.

Lets not even get started on the "chat" and how it works on mobiles.

Facebook has been going extremely slow on my pc here lately, and it's the only website that's been doing it.

The iOS app for Facebook has been the buggiest app on my phone, hands down. There is not a single thing it does well.

I'm not even talking the app, just their site in general is pretty shit considering how big they are.

Facebook is fine for me, but all I use it for is browsing the news feed - I stopped paying attention to apps, new features, etc. a long time ago, and rarely post much myself beyond the occasional like or comment

I created a facebook account a week ago, added like two people, and now I have like no compulsion to add more or post anything.

Is this normal?

Yes, except I'm amazed people are making new accounts in 2012.

Android App is equally bad. If you tap an event, it actually sends you to the browser because events are not supported by the app. And if you search for events, it shows events in the future, but not those happening on the same day (except for birthdays), wtf is up with that.

Today I discovered that I can no longer comment on people's statuses on the android app. Yay FB mobile.

I wouldn't have a Facebook account if it weren't for the fact that friends tend to use it to set up invites for parties, hanging out, and hell, even wedding invites.

It's a waste of time and to be honest, Facebook has been on such a slide that it is ripe to be taken over by some other service.  A shame that most of them are crap (yes, even Google+)  Due to the Facebook stock cratering, I expect more bullshit in the coming months to prove that they're a strong advertising/info harvesting company.  If you don't need an account, I wouldn't bother at this point.

Latest iOS rev of Facebook prevents it from screen-rotating. Apparently this is to provide faster performance.

...too bad none of their high-paid, genius programmers have ever had enough friends to need to type a response to something in portrait orientation's narrow keyboard.
