Customer Reviews
Great update to an already amazing app
The Facebook Open Graph integration is a wonderful addition and the first in the arsenal of news-reader apps. It will definitely prove to be crucial in gaining traction as the power of Facebook's network and the beauty of FLUD will create a wonderful web of social news sharing.
The UI is the same as its been for a while but founder, Bobby Ghoshal (@ghoshal), has hinted at a re-design that is somewhat along the lines of what the Google utilized in the G+ app update. He mentioned that he thinks they were looking at the FLUD team's plans, haha. Definitely looking forward to said update.
The overall speed has improved a great deal on my iPhone 4. The articles seem to load faster and navigation isn't as sluggish as it has been in the past.
Facebook open graph is good
