I’m not a heavy user of Facebook, but I have been using it a lot more just lately – so I gave this app a quick try earlier today. It’s quite nice to use and seems pretty quick at most things. It lets you see a lot of elements at once (e.g. live feed, recently posted pictures, friends, live chat bar with online friends shown etc) – and makes good use of popovers to let you interact with them easily.
Using live chat worked very well, and overall the app looks fast and solid so far – after just a brief trial run.
I think I like the interface of the Friendly app just a little better, but I’m going to use both apps a little more and then share some further thoughts.
Here’s an App Store link for Friended; it’s priced at $0.99.

What about FRIENDLY? I’ve been using it on my iPad for months. It’s an IPad app, and it works great!
I mentioned Friendly above. I like Friendly’s UI quite a bit and will be using both apps more and comparing them.
I prefer friended to friendly tbh, the chat bar is there on first glance and the interface is a lot more prettier with the layout
Problem is though, when you wanna see a comment on your photo, it doesn’t show any of then, which is really stupid, but meh I can cope with that.
Next update they should have a built in browser :)
I like where the chat bar is as well. Think both apps have pretty nice UIs.
