Facebook application soon get iPad. So, we are already using compatible applications is not bad at all. Review
MyPad Plus: a practical approach
Allows uploading images direct
Application MyPad Plus (there is also a version that is "plus" - free with commercials) shows a very practical approach to Facebook. Seems builders have invested much thought convenient navigation, even if it comes at the expense of a visual impression. The News Feed is displayed on two-thirds of the screen, when the term occupies the left toolbar that allows quick access to Facebook's main Hfitz'rim: friends list, internal e-mail messages, images, search, chat and so on. Clicking on any of these options will take the place of the News Feed. The fact that different parts of Facebook are open tabs on each other makes the use of rest for most of the time, but sometimes it's a little disturbing. For example, if you wish to observe the reactions of your status bar / of one of your friends and press for this purpose the number of responses - instead ask open in the same place, under a row, more will get a new tab for that view. Respond or do "Lake" is less awkward operation - along with any status in Feed a small plus sign appears, when clicked, opens a menu with Blake and an operation response. The only place where considerable thought is graphically user pages. When he entered his main page or to one of his friends - his profile picture appears in a big way, and application "playing" with her and approach her as the camera decides on an object and do a zoom. After Devine's over, claimed the Wall of the user when the navigation buttons located above the basic: to his Info, pictures and list of friends. Browsing Location: very comfortable. After entry to the album, you can quickly browse preview bar located downstairs, and select the image that want to watch. After clicking on it opens on the screen, and can also be set to fill the whole. Picture appears in the caption beneath it can be and push-button so you can see who tagged it (even through his Facebook page) or read the responses. When you post a status can be put not only text, but the pictures taken directly iPad (assuming you have the iPad 2, it has a camera). The application allows to move the camera through a few basic filters - like service Ainstgrm. This makes effective Bfitz'r the Facebook image uploading an agile and light. Feature does not exist in two other applications he reviewed the Twitter integration capability. MyPad allows the user to connect his Twitter account application. After the operation can be expected in Feed Combined Facebook and Twitter, as if it were a single service. You can not separate the feeds and watch just one. Too bad, because not everyone who wants to look at his Facebook necessarily want to scroll through hundreds of squeaks, their update rate is usually high. It was good if Twitter was added to the application as another feature on the toolbar with the capability of direct access and isolated.
Another remarkable feature: a calendar center efficiency birthdays and they have done Attending events.
Extra feature: a button "Play" appears on the toolbar. This is, in fact, links to download games app store - which was not really tied up for (but probably related to the company that develops).
Missing feature: the choice between normal to Feed Feed of the Top News.

Friendly Plus: supermarket Facebook
Loaded, but effective
One rule: compatible application icon Facebook will faceless human silhouette on a blue background - Facebook
Unlike its predecessor, Friendly Plus application (yes, even here the plus means the same as before) will not divide your screen into parts. She understands a view on the iPad should be big and impressive, and the Feed occupies the full width. The transition between the different functions can be done on the top toolbar, where concentrated most of the navigation. With the exception of the Home buttons, profile and friends is also a button that leads to search, pictures, updates, settings and more. Button's right That middle is access to the mailbox, to the Notifications last received and a button when clicked, displays the list of birthdays of it today, tomorrow and the rest of the month (display issue is that he displays on the interface updates graphically similar Lnotifiktziot, which causes the user repeatedly confused and think he got a new update, when in fact it is a permanent display of birthdays). Admittedly, this particular strain, a little attitude "department Facebook" is trying to put as much - but better too much too little. Facebook Games buttons and links to Google iPad open the browser - nothing too much. Good Facebook application should contain as many options within the social network, rather than take the user out. More interface: a large central button of her name of the application - Friendly. Clicking on it opens another line of options, including writing a Note, Edit profile and friends and access to account settings and privacy. Not all these options are all the applications, because there are those who go seem to have assumed iPad just surf to catch up, and do account management on your PC. However, some of the options (such as Edit Profile and Account Settings) - again leading the user application to his Facebook account browser device. This is probably the application that gives access to the largest number of features among those examined. Feed browsing in a convenient and fast. You can choose between Tab Top News Tab Most Recent. Great writing and pictures and clear (as noted, for using the whole width of the screen). Also be able to respond or do "Lake" by a button located on the right side of each update, and contrast-My Pad - a response can be read the body of the page and do not require opening a new tab (in general, tabs are a concept that does not exist in Friendly). Drop such a bother but not terrible is a trio of buttons adjacent to accompany the scroll. The first moves the scroll top with one click, the other puts the Facebook chat and the third refresh the screen, or at least should do so. Clicking it has not been a real response. Either way, you could do without this tourist guide, who insists to accompany each trip. Like My Pad, will also be able to enter an image directly on the status bar. Similar to the same operation, when the difference is again-Friendly Filter has more to choose from. In addition, the application allows you to upload the image into each of your existing photo albums, not just that she's dedicated herself to open your account. Friendly's biggest difference from other applications is that it conveniently together center-related updates to your friends. Pressing the Friends at the top of the application will give several options, including a sequence of pictures of friends, places where members recently made Check In and the list of notes (Notes) last wrote. SlideShow bit strange. Clicking on the name of the album opens the first picture where the entire screen, before he even decided what we want to see out. After closing it you can see the thumbnail samples, but when you click the option "Show more like", instead it will happen - opens a large image again on the screen. The impression is that someone did not check bug right here, and so abandoned the central one Hfitz'rim Facebook. Nice feature is the option to display pictures them arranged together on the screen, a kind of collage. So you can see five pictures per screen (two large, three small) and scroll through the album at all. Click on each photo collage that will open it big.

Facely HD: Pretty Boy faltering
Holds herself a drink Wow! You can change the background color!
Basic interface, large display and clear The application closes us review what the majority of its chips on Huoiz'uel. Facely HD waving her look like peacock feathers sure his mane is the thing. "The only Facebook application that lets you do Kostomiztzih control interface. You can choose from a variety of colors, fonts, and themes or create your own like that!", Ensures the software. This may sound impressive, but this practice more or less means you can choose the background color of the application. Us, at least, the choice between blue and red, not really exciting (we went to the Blue, Facebook, "to feel at home). The rest of the promises have not tried, mainly because of Facebook's design background is much less interesting to us than the content displayed on the Web. Like its predecessor, also Facely HD leaves all the screen width to Feed, when navigation is on the top bar. He has fewer options than Friendly. The four main buttons are Home, Profile, friends and the mailbox. Them have access to search, list Hnotifiktziot and access to chat. Underneath the tab of the Feed (from which a number of options, like access to Top News, concentration status updates, photos and links to friends'), of events and Facebook Places. The last two quite unnecessary in such a central interface. Facebook is not yet Foursquare, and most users do not get her to see who did check - where. Of the three applications tested, Facely HD was the only one that allowed not only to take a picture and bring it status, but also take pictures and upload videos. Operation simple, even a little too simple - we were glad to get even basic editing options, for example deleting Frame footage was shot. Feed browsing in a convenient, and in large, clear. Detracts little interest effect is that images appear in Feed (as part of a link published, for example) look a bit Foxley - probably because the size of the display of application stretches them a bit. It is not very disturbing, but an application that prides itself on its appearance was perhaps should have put it more attention. Another problem, also the pictures, she view the site. Although the Preview of pictures in the album easy to use, but when you click on any image - it opens full screen, in contrast to MyPad, for example, does not show samples of other photos in the album. To scroll between them must return to the previous screen, or simply continue browsing. And when continue to browse discover Slafliktzih sometimes have problems uploading pictures. More than once I took the following picture a long time to load, and sometimes even a real application lodged for a few seconds. In general, the three applications we tested - Facely HD is the most problematic in terms of stability. Is the only one we collapsed during use (and more than once) and gasped at times. But it should be noted that despite all the issues listed, We ended up choosing her coming back again and again. Maybe something in its relative cleanliness, lack of clutter of functions, large display and comfortable - made a positive user experience, total. The impression is that it will be corrected bugs and Hkrtoaim and become more stable - it might be our favorites, at least to the normal browsing does not require access to all course and course our Facebook account.

Summary
Hard to say what applications compatible with Facebook is the best. Although using the same basic them to almost the same, they differ from each other the amount of features and form view. Because each user there are preferences using different (has it that he would prefer navigation easy and that he would prefer a large display on the screen. Has it that he would prefer all the functions and it would rather clean interface that gives mainly to browse and read updates) - hard to find a preference unequivocally . If you pull together and try to decide which application gives the maximum benefits in terms of options guide and shape of surfing - probably go to Friendly - professional and wide application that looks good. It will be interesting to see how this market will face when Facebook will launch the official application. Did she surpass the three are (and other applications it is not intrigued)? Or you may find herself actually competes against herself? The answers, apparently, very soon.
