When I have a friend request on FB, it lights up the friend icon. But when I click on it, all I can see is "People you may know." Not who actually requested me as a friend. This is a simple fix. Fix it. Otherwise, good app.

review Used to love and recommend it, but about to uninstall. I'm also frequently experiencing the bug where you type a long FB post and only a fragment gets submitted. Hugely frustrating. It also can't handle live streams, and responding to friend requests is harder than the native FB app. So I think it's time to say thanks for the memories, but I need a more reliable app.

pro Developer abandoned the app - don't bother. They completely ignore that the messenger part is broken - such a shame as it used to be a good app. Oh well, back to FB

app Doesn't seem to be working properly these days. I can't see messages ("The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.") Also, trying to exit from Metal is almost impossible. Have to repeatedly hit the back button, maybe 20 or 30 times.

download I like this app, it's a good idea, but I just got a new phone and reinstalled it and it no longer let's me use the messages drop down bar in metal Facebook and I've had to download the Messenger app, which was my primary reason for getting metal in the first place. A shame.

metal for facebook and twitter app download I like the app but not the marketing. It asked today whether I'd go pro. There were two options to choose from: 1. OK 2. I don't like to help. That is an over the top tactic and turn off.

The best replacement app for the Facebook app. BUT, just recently can't reply to messages in app anymore. I use this app alongside the FB app exclusively so I don't have to have Messenger installed due to FB Messenger awful permissions issues and app bloat. Please don't make me uninstall Metal. I have loved it for years! For now, it's back to PC browser only for Messenger. Edit: Ah, I just saw last update for this was 6/2018! Well looks like that's that.

It really needs an update! Glitches often. Notifications come hours late, sometimes 12 hrs after. Is surely keeps Facebook out of my phone. No more "friend suggestions" for ppl FB should not about. No more getting in my texts either. Few glitches, but worth it.

Used to love the app, but messenges has been broken for a while and now the 'rightmost tab' does not load, which means 'most recent posts' and the vast majority of functionality is inaccessible. Will this be fixed???

Waaaay too keen to refresh when you scroll up. If you're editing a post, be prepared to lose it without warning as you try to scroll to the top of the text you've entered, only to be summarily redirected to a blank page because the app thought you wanted to refresh. The editing box itself also needs to be twice the size. Apart from that it's a good app.

!!Insecure!! I attempted to contact the developer some time ago but have heard nothing back nor seen any updated version. Password lock simply doesn't work in this 'redesign', you can hit cancel, then go straight back into the app and it won't ask for a password. I believe this is occurring in the redesign due to how they implemented a timer feature for the lock. They've had long enough to investigate, now you know how insecure it is and how to bypass the password lock.

I was so hopeful this app would replace Facebook, messenger and Twitter apps and still function smoothly. It crashes on some posts I'm creating. I have to do them again and then it crashes again closing that page. Unacceptable! Well so far it doesn't upload photos correctly, doesn't post my posts by mistake or whatever and I can only post one photo at a time in albums. Oh that's not good because Facebook app lets you upload 30 photos at a time. I won't tolerate that feature for long. WHERE'S FACEBOOK LIVE? I haven't seen the GIF feature which I used quite often. Twitter I couldn't upload a photo. I am not sure if it uses less battery, data or storage yet but still willing to try. Will use Facebook desktop site direct link for uploading photos & posting gifs. Make some improvements and I will increase the rating. I have asked others to give your app a try. Thanks for your efforts I think it has continued potential.

I never leave reviews for things but I will for this app. When the app is working perfect its great and one of the best Facebook app alternatives. I love it! Less invasive and takes up less memory. But....when this app acts up, its barely functional and doesn't work very smoothly at all. It wasnt't working too well for several months, and now it started working perfect again. Not sure what happened. Giving it 4 out of 5 stars for being non-functional for so long and having so many bugs at times. Otherwise it would've deserves 5 stars. Conclusion: Get it ans if its working well for you then stick with it. If not, then look for something that works better without any bugs or glitches. This is one of my favorite apps now that its working well again.

Using this for Twitter exclusively. I honestly like it for the most part but it has a fatal flaw that just gets in the way too much: you can pull down to refresh on any screen (even pictures) and it will refresh everything, even your homepage. If you were scrolling up a thread and hit the top too fast, now you're back at the bottom. Want to go back to your main feed? You're gonna start back at the top and lose your place. It prevents zooming in and scrolling up on pictures too. Really bad design

Can't access find friends, videos, the marketplace, etc. Messages tab freezes up too. I love the concept but it's too inaccurate
Jonathon Johnson
2019-05-02T01:46:25.280Z
Works....kind of. UI in dark mode is useless, at least for messenger. All my text is visable, sent text is not. Messenger notifications dont work. Messenger has no option to update like a pull down and it automatically refreshes (have to kill app and reload), so unless you have an active conversation on your screen, you won't be updated. Again notifications don't work, so whats the point of this app. The UI for your wall works nicely though. Galaxy S9+

I have enjoyed this app for a while, I appreciate the minimalist approach + power saving....but it is in bad need of an update. It has this bug where whenever I try to post a comment, only part of the comment is sent, while the rest is cropped off. This bug is specific to this app alone as accessing facebook through the mobile browser doesn't have this issue. To developers, pls contact me, I'd love to help sort it out.

It's ok. It does the job, but even though I didn't expect it to be exactly like the Facebook app, I would like it better if it was less glitchy (the back button takes you to the newsfeed instead of the previous page, the newsfeed can only show a couple posts then starts showing the same stuff over and over, etc).

This app is awesome because it doesnt force you to get facebook messenger. But I am having an issue when I select the three dots to try to get to "Events" and when I try to select events it doesnt go there. None of the options there are responding. Not sure if this is an issue within the app or if it's just my phone being a dick.

Metal seems like it provides a light weight battery saving solution, to the official Facebook messenger, and Facebook apps. The official Facebook messenger app KILLS the phone battery, hard and FAST!!! Still, everyone is on Facebook, and messaging. There needs to be an alternative that won't hog resources, and kill the battery, while still providing reasonable functionality. Metal is doing a pretty good job of it, so far.

This app is absolutely terrible. So many glitches I can't even count them. Side scrolling adds never swipe properly. Feed randomly jumps back to the top. Things showing up on the wrong tab. And so many more. "But at least it's free" not that, that makes up for its, Laundry List of Short Comings. I firmly believe that the developers of this app, do not use this app, even though they're the ones that made it.

Misses notifications sometimes. Someone liked and commented on something I commented on and I wasnt notified. Also, when using the dark theme, cant easily see options at the top like notifications and friend requests. Buttons are completely invisible in AMOLED mode or whatever its called; couldn't use it. search bar straight up doesnt work. I do like that it saves battery and uses less space. Will continue using it for that, but those issues above are frusterating.

Not updated in over a year. So it's worthless since they won't update it. Doesn't save pictures, says it does but they are nowhere on my phone. Also doesn't share webpages half the time, posts just disappear. Pictures in feed are not full screen, there's white space on both sides. No ability to search your profile. Needs work, has potential but really in beta stage. Use at own risk.
Robert Wayner
2018-11-22T01:52:20.298Z
Terrible stability. Search window doesn't work without showing "Page could not be loaded", feed view snaps back to the top spontaneously on a consistent basis, like/reaction windows won't work often, the keyboard does not automatically pop up when entering text sometimes, and other GUI issues. In my eyes this app needs serious improvement.

2019-03-23T16:01:47.996Z
This app used to be great. It's not well supported and has gotten worse over time. You need to close and reopen the app to see new messages people send you most of the time. It will duplicate messages you send, there's no effective way to view marketplace, there are no notifications, etc

So far so good. Only had it a day or so but far quicker and easier than using Facebook through my browser. I don't want the actual Facebook app as it's so bloated. This seems to do everything well and looks good. Perhaps give people a bit longer to actually try it before you start hammering them with review requests 😆

Great alternative to Facebook Lite app, had to use this on a friend's recommendation because it refused to work via wi-fi, and I love it! The app is very non-intrusive and perfect for people like me that use social media to stay in touch with a small groups of friends and family without needing to check their phone constantly.

2020-01-12T13:58:04.899Z
Lots of glitches It sucks that the app isn't updated anymore... That's the main reason for 2 stars. If you go to a searched page, then hit back, it takes you all the way back to your time line. It randomly refreshes your feed, if you exit out of the app (not close) then relaunch, it restarts the whole thing, who knows if you'll ever find where you were again.

Andrew C

This is a good alternative to the Facebook app. That being said, there's too many little issues to recommend it. The absolute worst has to be when you're writing a post and you want to scroll up to check what you wrote. It makes the page refresh back to the newsfeed and you lose everything you've just done. It does this everywhere and it's by far the most frustrating thing. The other is when you're scrolling and tap the screen to keep scrolling, it'll act like you hit the like or share buttons

I've used several FB alternative apps before and i gotta say... this one is the fastest of all of them. however, two things that really annoys me with this: downloading videos isn't an option and whenever i try searching for anything it gives an error mo connection. it's not my internet and to prove that I went to my browser and visit the FB website and everything worked
Kevlar Canuck
2018-10-16T06:57:24.589Z
It's way more buggy version 9.0, maybe partly because FB keeps changing too. But none of the photos I save actually save. It shows "saved to downloads" but is absolutely nowhere to be found. Saving on a browser still works so I don't know what you developers broke? And now the app jumps all over the place while navigating between pages and scrolling, and sometimes the reaction buttons don't pop up. The header on every screen except the home screen blocks out the icon bar on top and the menu button, so I can't share the page or anything. It's either FB and/or the developer fell off the wagon, but since it works better in the browser, it might be time to ditch this thing.
Scott Weber
2019-03-31T17:25:52.877Z
I installed this mainly to let me remove Messenger, which FB thinks they should have access to every feature on my device, listen to me, and track my every move (seriously, I mention something, and ads for that appear on my feed. clearly something is listening in... And I dont have Alexa) I wish it allowed selective deletion of messages, not just delete an entire conversation. I would get the paid version if it did.
Veda G
2019-05-24T06:17:28.297Z
Wow, so many flaws. Linking/tagging a name screws up the name with repeated characters. What a joke! Maybe the developer has abandoned the app for greener pastures. No updates since early 2018. Really?! This app used to be great but now it is just a remnant reminder that the developer has simply become lazy, disinterested and/or inept where this app is concerned. Real shame.

I'm taking off a star because over the last couple of days the main news page isn't working. It says "something went wrong try refreshing your page" but refresh gives same result. I uninstalled and reinstalled which helped for a little while but it's doing it again. I've been using metalpro user for many years.

2019-09-12T01:38:38.508Z
I've been using this for a few years. It used to be a pretty decent Facebook alternative, but it's not being updated anymore and the bugs are becoming numerous. It's probably not worth it. Bummer since I bought pro. Devs like this make it hard for honest people. I will think twice before paying for pro on apps again.

This "app" is nothing more than a web browser that simply displays the Facebook and Twitter web sites, with a few customizable features such as changing the display colors and keeping bookmarks. If that's all you want (and don't want to use an actual Web browser instead), then it would be acceptable...if it wasn't for a few critical bugs that make it unusable: Facebook photo posting doesn't work, Twitter sharing doesn't work from any app, Facebook sharing doesn't work in 90% of other apps (either shows a blank screen, no "share" button", or gives a "href should represent a valid URL error"). Clearly the developers are having trouble keeping up with all the changes that Facebook and Twitter make to their various web site versions, and that's why random features will continuously break.

This app has not been updated since 2018, don't expect it to work, so much has changed with FB.

I'm unable to leave comments on your Google+ link so I'll post here and change my review if possible later. When I write a response to a post, I frequently scroll back up to the beginning of my post to check it before I post it. If I use my finger to scroll, and my finger strays outside the box at all, the entire page refreshes and I lose the whole post. On a tiny phone screen, that's almost inevitable. When I used Friendly, they fixed the same problem. I like Metal better - hope you can fix it!

Brilliant for Facebook. There are a couple of things that don't quite work: You can't seem to switch to commenting under your own name when you are the administrator of a page. The option to switch is there but it doesn't change it. The other thing is the app lock. If you click on the app, go out and go back in again, no password or fingerprint is asked for on the second attempt.

No updates in years. Can't see friend requests anymore. Slow. Have to click on comments to navigate group of pictures. Crashes on trying to download linked pictures. Never did notify of messages. Don't even try to access Facebook site settings. Doesn't update anything including chats without a manual refresh, except when you go back to feed and then totally refreshes where those other posts are removed as seen (they weren't). Anyone still using this needs to quit!!! There are better now.

I use this app alot and have done for years but im about to look for an alternative since bugs are never fixed. Firstly when get a tag notification - clicking on it doesn't take you to the comment but to the top of post so its impossible to find your tag if it's a big public post. Secondly, vieiwing and saving images is just terrible in every way (youll see what i mean). The "most recent" news feed button isnt on front page and somwtimes broken. Never see posts from friends any more either.

was a great app but lately it hasn't been working. it keeps telling me after a few posts that there are no more stories. and when I press on the comments to view them it send me to a page with the original Facebook app icon and says open this in the app to view it. isn't that what metal is for? so I have gone back to the crapy Facebook app.

I really wanted this to be an alternative to the facebook app but it isn't, I have no real problem with the news feed but it won't load groups, settings ,games etc I tried for a few weeks hoping it would improve if there was an update but didn't happen.So had to uninstall as it's not usable as is .
Gary Pouch
2019-01-16T00:47:59.493Z
Solid app overall; I like the layout/ui, and customization options and settings were easy to find and use. My only complaint is that when browsing posts, if I click one or open comments, when I go back a page to the "list" it always loads back at the top. Would be 5 stars otherwise. Devs: Am I missing a setting for this somewhere?

2019-08-18T22:03:08.465Z
UPDATE: Appears, at this time, to be abandonware. Slow (taking multiple seconds BEFORE loading / refreshing / posting a status update or comment. Often times, only the first word, of a status update or comment, will post. Does nothing, to deter Fb, from listening through your phone, for ad targeting. At this point, aggravating and mostly useless.

Has been quite good but was never able to react to friend requests and now the messages stopped working too..

2020-03-30T03:45:29.727Z
Getting more and more buggy. Facebook is locking down features when you don't use their app. Since this has not been updated in almost two years, it is obvious that the developers have abandoned both this and the pro version. I'm upset that I liked this, upgraded to pro, and then they abandoned the app.
Rhys Williams
2019-12-28T23:56:41.406Z
Great app that finally means I can get rid of Facebook's sh***y excuse for an app and there even more sh***y excuse for having a separate Messenger app too! The only thing it would need to be 5* would have other Social apps like VK, Reddit, WhatsApp, Instagram etc - or at least they are the ones I would use the app for. Thank you for a wonderful program that saves me time and space on my S6 with limited storage^^

2019-01-15T02:20:57.330Z
I like this app. I see that you've asked reviewers to report problems instead of giving a poor review. But the only way you provide for reporting the error is by joining your Google group, which I'm not willing to do. I am having a problem but I guess I'll have to live with it.
Zach Scott
2020-06-02T03:12:03.770Z
I really tried to give this app a chance over the Friendly Facebook app because of all the options. Well, I've had my last straw with Metal. If I'm typing a long message to a person and that same person messages me in the middle of me typing my message gets deleted and I have to start over 🤬. Uninstalled for good, just going to donate $2 to get ad free experience on Friendly Facebook app...

2019-04-04T07:26:03.281Z
Clean beautiful layout everything going well. Few things noticed: Facebook search shows no page found layout at first until u do a search then it shows result. Facebook should have inside video play inside the post like twitter opening the full post should be in same page and doesnt take me to another one with poor adjustments. When u want to view more options for a post there is no copy link option which is needed. video download would be nice i dont know if its available in premium.

2018-11-23T23:38:43.778Z
This has happened a few times, I've accidentally swiped down while composing a post and it refreshes the page completely deleting the post. No app has made me want to throw my phone across the room more than that. Totally deleting this app and actually going back to the regular Facebook one.
Brian null
2019-07-18T11:47:26.624Z
Marketplace is hidden in the app which sucks and doesn't work well in that when you back up from the Marketplace page it goes away so when you go back to Marketplace you got to start all over again. another issue is using the instant messaging is slow and reports message received even if I send a message.
Peter Brown
2018-12-17T00:19:12.325Z
Really nice app. The only issue I have is that if I haven't been in the app for a couple of days then I stop receiving notifications. I've checked the app is protected from battery saver. Samsung A5 on android 8.
John Roger Maglalang
2018-10-29T02:29:43.673Z
Good app, been using it for a long time. Waiting for more Twitter support. Specifically night mode. And also when zooming in on Twitter images, you can't pan the image down because it reloads the page. Hope this will be fixed soon.

2019-02-01T03:00:50.366Z
the app is a little buggy needs help in the messenger part with themes text is in white and the background where you read the message is white too lil hard to read. maybe it will be fixed in the paid verison. i'm going to purchase I like it. good job dev.just keep up the maintence and it will be a 5 star app

2018-11-15T22:03:33.488Z
For what it does, it's pretty great. Multi-tabbed Facebook without having it monitor your text messages and conversations for marketing. The issue I had was with tagging. Tagging in comments and posts was consistently disfunctional, which is a core Facebook feature.
Mersee Madison-Villar
2019-02-24T20:46:58.342Z
So far runs fine. I haven't measured battery saving. It would be nice to be able to use in power save mode. Interface tweaks for the future should be better integration into Marketplace and chat. Other than those, it offers a clean and natural UEX.

2020-03-19T20:24:18.385Z
I get no notifications. Notifications don't come through until I randomly decide to go to the app. By then, it's too late. Notifications are supposed to let you know if you need to go to the app for something. I've had Metal for over a year and it has ALWAYS been a problem. Please fix! Thanks.
Kaine Shadory
2018-12-29T01:05:40.854Z
Almost, just almost. there are a lot of weird problems with this one... Pros:- - Dark Facebook - Twitter&Fb in one (altho I don't use it for Twitter) - default to most recent - light n fast Cons:- - notifications only pop up when I open the app for some reason (defeats the purpose innit?) - opening twitter links doesn't open in my external twitter even tho I'm not using Metal for Twitter
LaNita Williams
2018-10-28T23:57:58.485Z
It's pretty good. I don't like that I can't edit comments. I've had a hard time replying to specific comments under a thread too. I think it's funny that the photo uploader is the old school one from the first days of Facebook. Overall, it's a good app. It's easy to forget it's not the native app.
Friendly Crossways
2019-07-10T13:32:06.606Z
i like how it uses much less memory than FB. Only weird thing is that search function ALWAYS says "Sorry, this page can't be found" even before i enter s name. But then it finds what I'm looking for just fine.
Joey Ackley
2020-02-10T17:41:21.432Z
Guys please add a failsafe from navigating away from a post you are writing. I spent a half hour making a log on my journey in south America and lost it all because I accidentally navigated away from the page while writing my post. This isn't the first time this has happened either, I need to write things down in another program and then copy paste it over.
Shawn Futon
2018-09-17T19:44:40.610Z
I have found I cannot share memories when they come up. Also after I read an article and go back to Facebook it brings me back to the beginning of the news feed, every time, which is annoying as I have to scroll back to where I was. Hopefully this will be rectified.

Very good app works better than Facebook app itself, keep it like this :) please put some fun photo booths on messaging so we can have fun with photos like Snapchat and messenger :) :) and also you can't copy and paste things or call anyone please fix this problem thank you

2019-05-27T10:20:44.263Z
when I first paid for this app, it was GREAT. Over time, however, it has become less and less useful. It won't load either my Events page or my On This Day page on Facebook. it ignores pinned groups. I loved Metal and advocated for it... but everyday I wonder more why I still have it installed.
Richard G
2018-11-22T15:18:03.637Z
Can't upload photos on my moto g. And also when I get a notification that someone has added to their story clicking on that notification causes a crash. This program hadn't been updated in months...?. One has to wonder........
Risa @ Insightful Events
2019-11-18T02:47:53.464Z
LOVE this app !!... one and ONLY reason it doesn't get 5 stars is cause it's really LONG overdue for an update and starting to get quirky/buggy on facebook ..... thanks for the great features, but WHEN is the updated version coming ???
Marie Silvey
2019-06-20T02:24:55.214Z
I was tentative about trusting an app that's not from the developers of Facebook or Twitter to manage both, but this app is fantastic! I haven't had any issues with my day to day usage so far (although I've only been using the app for a few days).

2019-05-24T07:56:47.231Z
says no ads and yet sponsored ads are there, I wish to see that being removed, I'm so not interested in any ads from fb,.. I like the design but it lacks a lot of features that are available on fb, it's very basic. apart from custom look it's poor
A Google user
2019-03-22T01:50:21.861Z
Stop changing the interface, you are only making it more complicated. you have to click more to see the same info you would have saw before the update. people choose this app for its simplicity and no unnecessary permissions, so don't go turning it into Facebook or we will run. Can ya dig it!
Lyn Wood
2018-11-18T08:12:11.529Z
Can't find a way to go back to where I was up to in the feed after reading a post, if always goes back to the beginning and refreshes. Asked the developer for advice - nothing. Won't be buying the pro version if this is the level of support you get.
Richard Manson
2019-06-05T12:18:51.670Z
Even though I like what they're trying to do, Many simple things don't work. The back button doesn't work and Facebook and editing a post often deletes it then very often post look like they are posted but don't get posted, just to name a few.
H KQ
2018-11-02T15:10:14.492Z
Older version was great. Newer version less functional. Timeliness messed up. "Most recent" keeps showing me the same posts that are days old. Wish I could go back to older version.

App is buggy sometimes. I get the "Welcome To Facebook" page & just cannot get my news feed to appear. An otherwise good fb wrapper when it's not acting up. Switching to Friendly until this gets updated & fixed.

Works kinda slow at least it's not spying on you like Facebook... Now it won't load... I don't want to join a group to inform you of these issues... This is why I don't buy the pro version... It's slow and then it won't load for days... Likes don't take and it's kinda frustrating...
Cayenne Garamonde
2019-06-14T12:06:32.204Z
Was good but now isn't worth it. You can no longer save photos to the Download folder. Since it's never updated it doesn't display content correctly in line with the Facebook updates.
Raj Gorthi
2018-09-30T18:01:00.268Z
Great app, different themes, no ads, need I say more? Also combines Messenger, Facebook, and Twitter in one app. The theming only works on Facebook, but it's a great app nonetheless.

2018-12-13T07:33:17.107Z
Great app, but could it please be possible to select in preferences a default tab, that loads after opening? For example if I'm not interested in the feed and want to just load my messages. Thanks!
A Google user
2019-05-18T22:00:16.641Z
It does seem to save battery, but the more you deal with the bugs, the more you start thinking of reloading the actual FB app. It needs updates and fewer glitches. Uninstalling now.
Chip Leonard
2018-09-25T20:40:38.573Z
While it does use less bttery power it really has some issues. When I click on a post to read and then use the back button it doesn't take me back to where I was in my feed. It sends me back to the top refreshing the feed and losing g

Metal Pro means well but falls extremely short in what it promises to deliver. It is a laggy app riddle with hangs-running Oreo with 4 GB of ram on a clean install LG V20. Will not play HD videos. Video uploading is beta and like most features of this app is a portal to the mobile web site. The dark mode is poorly implemented and is non existent on Twitter...an app that already has a great dark mode built in. I hope this app gets better as I purchased the pro version to support the dev because I like the premise...but this is a beta 1 app at best.
Beresford Brooke
2019-02-07T11:11:33.258Z
Sadly hardly usable now - constant redirects to log in screens, constant error pages when tyeing to open images, messages, notifications. Was a great app, but now largely unusable beyond scrolling though your feed.
Nathan Altimari
2019-01-15T20:26:49.810Z
Always asks me to log in, then I swipe to messages or recent updates, then prompts to log in again... I have to keep closing and reopening the app... Still better than the Facebook app even with these problems
Tom C

Was using FB in browser, but that make messaging difficult. This app is much nicer! Nice black and white themes, could use some others, maybe a dark to match Google dark, maybe add select accent.
A Google user
2018-11-19T07:38:43.827Z
It have been great and it has a clean look which I like! The best part I like about it is that i am able to use the messenger without having to download the messenger in another app. Thanks!
Guy Lafaras
2019-05-15T12:32:16.502Z
simple, low resource use w/speed lowering implications. For casual use, maybe checking in one a day, perfectly adequate. Not for high-volume, or teenage, users. Easy switching between FB and Twitter.
Sean Cuthbert
2019-03-28T15:36:05.448Z
It's a good replacement for the Facebook app itself. Not really for messenger though. I don't see any notifications for messages so I'm going to have du keep looking for a good messenger replacement.
Cake Dog

What's ridiculously annoying is if you look at a Marketplace post and hit the back button, it completely leave the Marketplace and you have to start all the way over from the top of the list.

Captain Wow
2019-03-31T14:54:09.204Z
It's pretty good. Official FB app is like 1.3 GB, so not as smooth as the official, but way lighter. And maybe it's not tracking me? Who knows.
Jordan Andrews
2018-12-02T12:24:53.145Z
In previous versions whenever there are bugs, or things that Facebook changes that are out of Metals control, the metal team always takes care of the issues quickly. So keep up the good work team Metal!
Jennifer Rome
2020-02-21T14:02:42.315Z
Wanted to like this but the notifications don't come up on my phone properly, it still eats a lot of energy and the adverts are still there so it isn't any better than the Facebook app.
Soumyadeep Bhunia
2018-12-04T11:17:35.150Z
Perfect app as a Facebook and Twitter client. The only gripe I have is the UI inconsistency- I do not know if it's a problem on FB's side or Metal's but there are occasional glitches such as the reactions blacking out the whole screen when pressed.
Aldo Cano
2019-11-14T03:29:08.291Z
White chat on white background, illegible. Seems like an easy fix would do but I don't know, maybe over a year isn't enough to figure out a css issue

Connect to Facebook and Twitter and use FB Messenger, all without the performance drains of their respective apps. I have enjoyed using Metal to replace Tinfoil, and like Tinfoil, Metal is a small file size app.
Dan Ziemba
2020-08-15T20:50:19.197Z
Facebook support used to be great, but is very broken now and hasn't been updated in years. Twitter support doesn't even have the ability to open links from other apps, so it's pretty useless.
Aleixo Gomes
2019-03-11T14:41:21.743Z
This is a great app if you're tired of struggling with the mobile site. It's not radically different, but it's better and faster. the only thing I'd like to see is a better dark mode.
Ally Currie
2019-03-22T10:06:43.778Z
app itself is good but on a moto g6 play there are connectivity issues with Facebook either in native mode or using the app. i like the dark mode BUT there needs to be a distinction between posts as the normal black line in dark mode doesn't work... who'd have thunk that 🙄
Alexander powierza
2019-04-24T02:54:37.400Z
I really recommend it, still has a few glitches but nothing major, worth paying the little extra for the pro version, needs more updates and development
Andre Howard

so far pretty awesome only able to get Facebook to go dark black but it's ok. i love the look, interaction is touchy if you have bigger fingers hard to hit the like button other than that amazing. thank you for a great app, plan on getting paid version as soon as i can.

Rubbish, so glitchy and buggy. Its very hit and miss, if you're looking for an alternative to Messenger - keep looking!
Geoff Zalot
2019-04-16T20:56:32.379Z
It's good in every way, except with dark themes you can't read one side of messenger messages or certain pages, which became a deal breaker for me.

Hi, it is a great app for using facebook and tweeter. My only complaint is that you cannot use themes on tweeter and also the black theme is not well design.
Petless Darrell
2019-03-19T04:45:55.246Z
Update needed for Twitter. Mine has returned to an old interface and a message stating I have an old version of Chrome appears. Thanks for making Metal. This app has been my app of choice for years now.
Craig Durham
2019-08-23T16:20:23.453Z
Good concept (FB and Messenger in one), but doing anything jumps to top of feed. Also jumps to top of feed at random. Developer not answering emails.
Dad Life Style
2019-03-10T01:21:54.242Z
So far so good. Works faster and better than the original Facebook. Facebook and messenger all in one app with added themes. My favorite is dark mode as it goes with everything else on my phone.
James Adams
2019-01-31T22:50:22.403Z
so far I like the app, only a couple things, when go into dark mode and in messenger cant read text from person replying, second thing is camera just opens images not actual camera.

Clean crisp app. Fantastic so far. I'd previously used Friendly for Facebook to combine messenger and Facebook together (which helped with Marketplace sales) but this app adds in Twitter too! Well recommended.

It doesn't have the functionality or reliability of the full Facebook app, but using this has saved me so much battery, and keeps facebook and its products off of my phone, which I really really appreciate.

Pretty good overall. Only real problem it's that on the feed if someone posts multiple pictures I can't go through them. I can only see the first three

I just started using this, haven't seen anything negative. Other than, while typing, it freezes for a few seconds.

I've been "using" it for about two years on 3 different phones, Messenger notifications show up 1% of the time, and that's the only feature I need from the app.

my free govt supplied mobile phone and service provides only the cheapest, most basic Android phone-a brand I'd never heard of, and apps-any apps like FB takes up almost all of the available memory, making the phone freeze/slow to the point of wanting to scream and pull out your hair. Extraordinarily frustrating, it is…,

It needs a little work, but they're well on their way. The slight loss in functionality is more than made up by its leanness and the fact that they aren't sticking tentacles into all my phone data

This application used to work really well in the past but as of lately it's incredibly buggy with pages not loading and notifications not appearing.

Was a great app. Completely broken now after facebook update. Looks like this is no longer updated. Hoping developer comes back to fix it!

Probably the best Facebook interface, but it doesn't block ads so it's worthless. Would pay for a version that blocked ads.
