For the last two weeks it won't allow opening messages (the app just closes each time I try) on both tablet or smartphone, which renders it useless really. I've reported the issue 3 times and had no reply. Time to uninstall. Goodbye Tinfoil for Facebook, Hello Metal for Facebook

I used to use it a lot, but it came to a point that it won't connect to Facebook anymore. Also, I hate how everytime I go to an external link, it refreshes back to the top screen. This app has unfortunately has seen better days. It should be made obsolete since the developer long abandoned it.

The app is itself just a wrapper for the browser based Facebook but integrates everything nicely and works rather well considering. Thanks for updating the app recently. A way to permanently select most recent as the default landing page, it defaults back to the lame top stories every so often would be great.

Pretty great alternative app to use instead of facebook.. Alot smaller in size runs smooth.. Only complaints is every time i try to check messages i cant and it bugs me to download fb messenger :( and also cant crop profile pic with this app The app is limited to uploading 3 photos per post but it is the only app ive found that allows me to add as many photos as i like to a post afterwards and actually work.. This apps on the right track hoping it gets even better with a future update

This is a really good app. My only complaint is that when I click on link and when I'm done and hit back button this app does not go back to where I stopped on Facebook.. This is annoying. Also can you have video downloading function : -)

This is a welcome relief from resource hogging FB app. However, in the latest version, the pictures are not displaying properly on my Tablet, Shield K1. Hope it gets fixed in the next update Edit: Photo bug taken care of. But the timeline gets refreshed every time I click on an external link.

About this app

**THIS IS A WRAPPER FOR FACEBOOK'S MOBILE SITE, IF SOMETHING BREAKS ON THE SITE, THERE ISN'T MUCH I CAN DO.**

Tinfoil for Facebook is for those users that require a Tinfoil Hat when logging in to Facebook. It creates a sandbox for Facebook's mobile site in order to protect your privacy and to avoid the ability others to track your browsing history.

Requires INTERNET permissions.
Feel free to check the source code here: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook

It also requires the "COARSE_LOCATION" permission. This is not used unless you enable "Allow Check-ins" on the preferences, otherwise Check-ins won't work. This option is disabled by default.

If you have issues, please remember that Tinfoil is just a wrapper for the Facebook mobile site. Some things break on the site and there isn't much we can do to fix some issues. Sometimes forcing the user-agent helps (Preferences -> Mobile/desktop site -> Force mobile). If you find an issue and are completely it's a problem with Tinfoil please open a issue in the Github tracker: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook/issues
