Maybe it was triggered by Steve Jobs’ demise, but Facebook has finally launched the Facebook for iPad this month. In a blog post the social network announced this app. As Facebook says, “Many of you have been asking about the Facebook for iPad. Today, it’s finally here. With the iPad app, you get the full Facebook experience, right at your fingertips. It’s a fun way to keep up with friends, share photos, chat and more.”
The main features of the app include:
- Larger and Sharper Photos– This is perhaps the most talked about feature on the Facebook for iPad. You can see high resolution pictures that are bigger and quite convenient to flip through. Quite similar to a real album. Capture memories and share them like a slideshow with all your friends.
- Clearer Interface– A crisp interface lets you focus on what matters. You have space on the screen to zoom in your friends’ photos, updates and stories.
- Easy and Fast Navigation– With Facebook for iPad you can easily tap, slide or pinch to move from one screen to another. The left hand menu has the games, apps, groups and lists, just like normal Facebook. Every thing is right there with messages and notifications on the top of the screen. By using simplified navigation, you can do everything from sending a message to browsing the bookmarks without the need to switch screens.
- Play Games On A Bigger Screen– You can chat with friends and watch high-resolution videos online and record HD video and stream to Airplay devices.
- Sending Messages Is A Tap Away– You can easily read and send messages even without visiting your inbox. A dropdown menu lets you do all this.
Facebook has also made improvements to Facbook for iPhone and mobile. What do you think of this app? Will it make a difference? Do share your opinion.
