I prefer Friendly to FB anytime! Not the surveillance you get with FB and lighter on resources. I bought the + version with no ads in 2018. Just noticed today that the black background mode is not working. I believe I did an update recently that I think broke it. Nothing I tried fixed it. I'm running Android 10. UPDATE: one day later and there was an update on Friendly and the black mode is working again! Goodbye FB lite! Hated to desecrate my phone with FB on it. I'm happy, 5 stars again.

2021-06-21 finally fixed! 2021-04-25: same as... 2021-03-19: same as... 2020-12-13: Updated to latest for Back button fix. Still broken, please fix! ...and now it autoplays videos. Please fix! ...and it removed my paid adblocking feature. Please return my money or return the paid-for feature. ---- Please use the store's "What's New" section to actually tell us what's new in this update.

A glitchy mess that is never fully fixed. Always something, whether it is dark mode not working, pages not functioning correctly or outright refusing to load, or weird content loops where it generates the same item 5 times in a row. I don't believe it will ever be glitch free.

As many other reviewers have reported, this app gets worse and worse with each so-called "update" and it's particularly bad as it didn't seem to be an efficient app to begin with. Now the option to "Hide Similar Posts" WON'T STAY CHECKED. Check the option in settings and it reverts to unchecked. And it ignores selection of "Hide/Unfollow all posts from group or person". Definitely a crew of inept and lazy programmers. So, clearly not paying these idiots a "tip" to reward their incompetence.

New update completely broke the app. I paid to disable ads and now I see ads again, I'm seeing things I blocked and said I don't want to see, not to mention it's still buggy as hell. It's been fun but this app is terrible and each update makes it worse. I'm deleting this garbage app now.

So far so good. Love how it gets rid of the stories section on Facebook (my main reason for downloading the app). It's a bit buggy for FB love videos, they don't load up which isn't a big deal to me. All in all a great app to have.
