Why the Facebook app infuriates me!
With the new design Facebook intriduced a side menu and a shortcut menu at the top, which allows you quick access to friend requests, messages and notifications. While it might seem logical to make those options easily accessible, the way they have done it is just wrong.
Why the Facebook app is wrong (in my opinion)
I'll admit I'm very OCD and don't like to leave notifications present and this is where Facebook lets me down. The hirearchy of the mobile app is so wrong, there are endless ways to get to the same content and seemingly each different method takes you to a new level in the app structure, I've often found myself hitting the back arrow numerous times and cycling through the same content until I get back to the top of the tree.
What makes this particulary frustrating is that I can be reading a message, and have a notification that is telling me the message I am reading has been updated by someone else. Instead of just showing me the update in the current screen, I have to activate the message popup and click the notification to then reload the message before the notifcation bubble goes away. Doing this on a particualrly active message board really gets tiring.
Has this bothered you in the Facebook app, or am I just too much of an OCD?
