Facebook notifications

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.

There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.

just downloading now will update on what its like

that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand

Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.

yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.

setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me

Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.

thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

i just downloaded th lite version but i cant seem to get te notifications to work on mytouch,

Worldmate now Available

Just recived an email from worldmate and it is now officially out for Android.
I used to use this App on my P800/900 & my X1. Its essential for anyone who travels a lot.
We have some big news.
We’ve been working on it for a while, listening to your suggestions and using your feedback to improve our product and now that the beta stage is over, we are pleased to announce that WorldMate has finally arrived on the Android Market!
So if you want to switch over to Android, or have already done so, WorldMate can now come with you!
WorldMate for Android includes:
Support for your full travel itinerary
WorldMate automatically builds your itinerary and synchronizes it to Android phonse for easy and immediate access.
Daily weather and travel notifications
WorldMate for Android conveniently alerts you daily, helping you manage all your trips with ease. The Personal Travel Assistant allows you to view current as well as upcoming trips, your meetings and weather forecasts-all in one screen.
Flight Reminders
WorldMate’s flight reminder notifies you 4 hours before your flight is scheduled to depart, making sure you always make that plane. The reminder will provide you with details regarding your flight, as well as button you can click to check your flight status through flightstats.com
Safe travels,
The WorldMate Team
www.worldmate.com

Well Just installed it and its not what it used to be.
It used to have the function to check flights by flight number this seems to be gone. You could also pick a departure and arrival airports and dates and it would show you all the different flights you could take, again gone.
The weather forcast is nice but could do with a widget.

I just can not find it in the Market even trying to scan the barcode. No use! Is there any other way to get it?

yeah this got changed alot. it more web interface now

When I tried to search for a hotel in Amsterdam it show me only one hotel whatever my search criteria was. Strange!!!
Flight search is a big loss. I totally agree.

did you find it on the market? cuz I cant seem to find it anywhere

In my opinion it would be very hard to perfect something like this.
And they may have put more information on one country and just left little for another.
Which is quite careless if they have done that.
I may try and test it later if I can find the .apk file format and install on my phone.
Will give my review on this application later.

Slingbox need specific hardware to work and the app slingplayer cost 21€ on android market.
Tv shows stream lite is free, the full version costs 4.99$ and no special hardware is needed. I whould say its a better deal. Just my opinion.

Yes, it works outside of the US. If a video is missing it means it got removed from the site it was hosted, try a different one. Also sometimes certain sites have the wrong episode ( lol at Psych).

I emailed the devs last week and offered some suggestions. One of them was to alphabetize the favorites which they said they were working on and would be available on the next release. Along with that was a request to be able to backup those favorites like you can with bookmarks. The last two suggestions that I had were to be able to have the program automatically be able to scan for new shows with notifications and to highlight or indicate in some way in the favorites section that that particular show has a new episode. The last two suggestions are features that can be found in an app that I use frequently called dogcatcher.
Anymore suggestions guys? I know the devs read these so post them here if you have any. I really love this app so I want nothing more than for it to get better and better.

hi,
You are right, we are reading this forum
In next update bookmarkts will be alphabetically ordered. The update has not been released yet because we are finishing a minor fix that is taking more time than expected.
We are also preparing a special surpurise that will come in the next weeks. More info soon.
You can leave here suggestions, be sure that the developers will read it.

Love the app - could you please put the title or episode number of the video somewhere on the cropped screen too? Sometimes when the video stops in the middle one has to search again...
Overall I am very happy with what you guys made :.)

Hi guys,
thanks for updating the app, it's really comfy with the new sorted bookmarks!
but could you please make the announcement for the new film streamer optional, like in with a don't show this again option for the paid app?
thanks for reading this!

It makes no sense! Why didn't they just make the Xfinity app compatible with Honeycomb, besides creating a whole new app which is so extremely limited. You can't check your email, access your address book, access your Digital Voice (Comcast home phone), On Demand, or anything from your tablet...

I agree with that. Plus I think you can watch tv on the iPad app. Maybe they will include it later. Plus it should be more like a remote. Where's the rewind fast foward and volume buttons.

It just make your tablet a remote contol. It was a dissapointment for me. Hopefully Comcast will rush up with their application. Meanwhile, I'm uninstalling it.

So all you did was rename an awesome app like flowly and pawned it off as your own. Really lame dude. You weren't even original enough to change the icon you just rounded the corners

First off, if you were to keep up with that app you would know that guy abandoned it. Also he did not develop it at all. He used appyet just like I did, hence why I said "put together" I never said I developed that app ever. The icon is defiantly different, I am still looking for a new one but got this one for now due to the first one not displaying correctly for the notifications. I like Flowly a lot, but seeing that it would no longer be updated I decided to make one like it and keep it updated when appyet updated the code, and keep it current with all the new feeds. Also this is temporary while I work on my own that I actually developed, once that is done it will replace this one.

If flowly is abandoned and grilledbacon picked up where it was left off, I'm all for it. Good stuff, grilledbacon.

Thanks been looking for a replacement for blinkfeed now I can run nova prime again.

Thanks guys! Working on getting it on the Play Store should be soon now!

Thanks for carrying on the work of the flowly developer. Will there be ability to star articles? The ability to customize sources? Great work so far. Thanks again!

I would prefer that it open in my default browser dude. So that I can carry on reading articles in your app after the links have been opened in the browser. This way I can read on my browser later.

I really like the idea, good job. However, I'll wait till you put it on the Play Store to receive the updates immediately without having to visit this thread again and download the new APK. Another thing, can you please add Ardroid.com to the app (and yes, that's an "R", not an "N")? It is an Arabic news site.
Thank You, and keep up the good work!

I just looked in the Play Store and there's already a TechTalk... That might be a bit of a problem...

I'd actually like to be able to use both an in-app browser AND my default browser. BUT if I had to only have it one way, I definitely want to use my default browser. Also in regard to Flowly, which I still use religiously, thanks for picking up the ball after it's abandonment.

I have noticed that, too. But I think he can maybe change the name?

Just used the app for an hour. Ignore my earlier comments about needing an external browser. The current implementation is perfect.
However, I would still like the ability to delete some sources. Great work so far! Thanks Dev!

Awesome app, very nice to have all the news in one place, but the app icon is really plain. Maybe some material flare would be nice. I mean no offense by that. You did a great job getting it all into one app.

I'd assume so. But since I found this app because of a post in the XDA Portal I'd probably suggest changing the name before it becomes too widely known. Better to rename with 50 users than with 5000 users...

You could at least give credit to the original developer of the app in the OP.
