I have spent the last 2 weeks trying virtually all of the fairly current Facebook apps in App Store for iPad. For whatever reason, the official Facebook app, and the websites, tend to stick and just pause, or always be in spinning download mode. I dont like that! After scouring through many others, trying them out, some I hadnt before, many I had in past. Too many either dont work right, are missing major functions, or havent been updated to include lots of newer features. This app here is not perfect, but it is very close! I wanted to give it 5 stars, but the inability to download pics and option to open links in Safari was worth a star to me..... That said, this app does so much, and faster and no hang ups like the official app and pages online do! Amazing! And, it is only one of few that gets ALL notifications and shows them in timely manner. So many I tested did not......some never did, even after refreshing. I deleted 6 other favorite Fb apps after using this one. Oh, and this is based on an iPad 1, 5.1, wifi mode for all you technicals out there.
