Terrible customer service
Jan 14, 2021 Got a 7 day suspension for posting a pic of me I have posted numerous times and never had an issue. Said it was a 7 day suspension but it shows 30 days. No ability to send my reason why I disagree and the other problems. continuously receive requests from obviously fake profiles from "women" with large breasts in skimpy outfits. All their other friends are from Ghana or Nigeria so obviously Russian trolls. I report and get replies that FB sees no issue. No way to actually send real message more -

Jul 24, 2021 More like FilterBook. You can make your profile page, post photos, add friends and even make your own story posts. But it's all controlled. If the DEVs have the ability to remove content (that is viewed as "innapropiate") how come you can scroll and see that same innapropiate content? (If not worse) more

Functional, But Needs a Major Design Change
Sep 18, 2020 Facebook is an average social media app that is nice for communicating with friends and family for free (via Messenger). But, with that being said, it is time for Facebook to release a major design update for the mobile app. Often, when I am checking the reactions to my posts on Facebook, the reactions never load, are miscounted, or not updated. This is example number one of why Facebook needs to seriously upgrade. One thing that a lot of Facebook mobile app users have been waiting for is a dark mode for the app! It has been released across multiple platforms, including instagram, which is owned by Facebook. They released a dark mode for desktop users & the Messenger app, and it is beyond time for the mobile users to have the option for dark mode on the Facebook App. One last example of something that Facebook needs to update is it’s variety. Messenger only having a few color-themed backgrounds to choose, for example. Other than a design update, the app is very useful for communication, businesses, memes, inspiration, etc. It is also a good way to pass the time. more -
Irritating App
Oct 10, 2017 The app has been driving me crazy for months now. If I stay on the Facebook page, it only blacks out once or twice per evening. If I want to read something (my cousin's newspaper article, for instance) posted by my friends, the app blacks out every time and if I want to continue on Facebook, I have to open the app all over again and hope I can find my place. I'm almost ready to delete the darn thing! Wondering if it's worth the frustration! I've written my problems to the staff through Facebook three times and have received no recommendations. Can the app be fixed? Well, it's about 2 ,months later and nothing has improved. The app still freezes and blacks out. If I try to move from a post to attached info it freezes. Moving down the page to more posts makes it freeze or it blacks out completely. Then I get to start all over opening the app yet again. This is really getting to be more trouble than it's worth. It would be nice if the it people would at least respond in some way. A lot of us are feeling ignored. Not good business practice! more -
My view
Jun 29, 2021 I’ve been in Facebook since it early days. I’ve been able to share my life with friends all over the world and been able to experience their lives as well through our Facebook connection. I’ve discovered old friends and made new friends. Shared my opinion thoughtfully without insulting anyone or being censored because I take the time to understand issues that concern me and base my opinions on facts. I understand that there are ads and posts that I dislike or don’t agree with and choose to ignore, move on or block them. I have the freedom to read what I like and ignore what I don’t like. It is, at the heart of it, social media, it’s a global happy hour, fireside chat, family reunion or political platform. And it works. I don’t blame Facebook for unintelligent posts or some nefarious plan to destroy democracy, not do I blame them for bad cell or wifi coverage. It does what is supposed to do, connect me to people. 5 stars for that. Don’t overthink it people. more -
Needs interface enhancement
Jan 10, 2021 To start off, I haven’t been on Facebook in nearly two years now. I reloaded the app solely for marketplace while looking for a vehicle. I’m running the latest software & auto update apps on my iPhone 11 Pro. Amongst the more than often crashes I whiteness every couple minutes, the startup and loading speeds of this platform are ridiculously slow. Going back to the purpose of getting this app, when attempting to use the basic filters on here, they often don’t work under the vehicle section of marketplace. When I do get certain filters to work, they more than often lock out and I’m unable to remove them when I want to change to another filter. For instance, I started looking at used Tacoma’s and wranglers, I’ve had to delete the app and reload almost every time just to clear out my filter settings in the cars & trucks for sale page. For a company worth nearly $600 billion, you’d think they’d replace the interface which I noticed hasn’t seen hardly any changes w/ in the past couple years. more

Facebook is unfair
May 24, 2021 Facebook had become basically unusable for months. Many users repeatedly post the same issues without any response or resolution from Facebook. I'm an IT professional it appears the app is incapable of keeping up with the volume, maybe server issues. The app freezes constantly and crashes. Isn't working at all while on wireless have to turn off my wireless to have any hope of being able to review my notifications. Anytime I get a new notifications it throws me out of where I am and back to the beginning of my notifications. Then I have to start all over again paging through the hundreds of notifications I receive to try to find where I previously left off which is next to impossible due to the endless freezing and crashes. Notifications I previously reviewed continue to show unread making it impossible to figure out which ones l've reviewed. The app has gotten totally frustrating to use to the point it's taking me several hours a day just to get through notifications, there aren't enough hours in the day to deal with Facebook which is slowing becoming a full time job to deal with. It's a good thing it's free because no one would pay for software that doesn't work and provides no customer service or issue resolution. They constantly make so called updates that break previously working functionality. The updates are unwanted by the users, what we want is a reliable app not a bunch of bells and whistles that do nothing to improve the user experience. more -
Jul 24, 2021 It does nothing but freeze it has got to where it shows NONE of my notifications on my business page It won't show me anything but if I go to the post, I have likes and comments and reviews!! They need to FIX THIS!!! I have reported the issue many times and still nothing! You also are censored, the only post allowed are those by a certain party they put those who post their Christianity and conservative view in Facebookjail! more -

Jul 24, 2021 Latest version on Notification is worse then the older version, which has happened in this week after updating the latest version Facebook app. When I scrolled down to read more Notification, it will bring me to top with new Notification, which I can't read all older Notification. Hope to improve immediately. more -

You’re not allowed to be yourself anymore
Aug 8, 2020 Facebook used to be a fun place to connect with old school friends and family..a place where I could freely express my unique self. You used to be able to post anything you wanted whether it was true or not, just because you felt like it and nobody really cared! Some things opened up great discussions! Now, everything you share or comment is scrutinized by behind-the-screen random, ghost people. These people have their own opinions and when you freely express yourself like before, your posts or comments will be taken down, blocked or hidden, and all of your audience will be notified that your opinion or posts just happens to be something they personally disagree with. I did a test and posted 2 polar opposite opinions on an issue just to see what they would do, both of them were false news. The fake news I posted about current and political events had 2 distinct viewpoints. The one the ghost person disagreed with, was covered up and labeled as false with a link to an article for my audience to click proving their viewpoint. The other one that was also fake news, fit their personal viewpoint and they never touched it. I personally disagreed with both things I posted but found out quickly what the viewpoint was of the ghost robots behind the screens reading everybody’s personal stuff. Facebook is NOT a good thing!! more -

Orwell’s 1984 “Thought Police”
Jun 18, 2021 When Facebook askes the question “What’s on your mind?”, they don’t actually mean that! We have all watched Facebook become absolutely tyrannical in the last 18 months as they are desperately trying to stop the truth from being exposed. Facebook used to be a safe place of free expression and a place to be able to discuss thoughts and ideas. Facebook is losing it’s purpose as a place to communicate even with friends and family. Everything that we say is censored even down to the smallest infractions. They are not even the slightest a bit concerned about Americans having freedom of speech to discuss freely among each other today’s most important issues. Anybody with an opposing view is immediately censored and discredited by their so-called fact checkers. The same “fact” checkers have been repeatedly and openly disproven on many occasions. Facebook refuses to offer a fair and balanced platform for all to share their ideas. They have made an all out war against anyone who disagrees with their agenda. They are against anything that is good moral whole true or virtuous. I have seen peoples pages disappear altogether without having any warning or previous bans. They simply tried to log in one day and their account was gone! this is an evil company with an evil agenda. I would not recommend anybody use this app. more

This is more about a hacking group
Jun 16, 2020 I would really appreciate it if you could put hacking as one of the things your not allowed to do on Facebook because I reported these two groups who hack peoples groups and accounts for money and there was no hacking thing for me to report them for (it would be awesome if you could make it so we can give a personal report) so I reported them for doing sales that weren’t allowed and in the message back they just completely ignored the fact that the group was hacking, like what the heck?!?!? I mean no hate this is one of the best apps I own but those hacker groups might mess things up a bit one of the groups I’m in is doing some shutting down stuff as well as not letting new members join because of the hackers! It would be great if you could do something about it!! The group name is “black hat hackers” and actually when you look that up you find a few more hacking groups too please do something about it this really is not good thank you if you do! more -
Latest update hurts my heart
May 27, 2020 In the latest update, the app no longer has the “share” button when you try to share a post to a group. You must individually look up and share each group, which is cumbersome and takes far more steps/time. My child is a brand Rep, and it used to be so convenient to make our promotion post and share in 5-10 groups with a few quick taps. Now, I have to individually share the post to each individual group. I understand it is probably some kind of safety feature to prevent hackers and bots and bugs, but it has really made it more difficult for us. Also, the new layout on the computer (not the app, but the physical website) has me all sorts of lost and confused. I’m a pretty tech-y person, but when you move everything from its relative location, it makes it much more difficult of an interface to use. Love the new avatars though!!! They are super fun and cute!!! Also, the new and updates privacy settings on groups are lovely! more

Moving down the page to more posts makes it freeze or it blacks out completely. Then I get to start all over opening the app yet again. This is really getting to be more trouble than it's worth. It would be nice if the it people would at least respond in some way. A lot of us are feeling ignored. Not good business practice! more -
Needs interface enhancement
Jan 10, 2021 To start off, I haven’t been on Facebook in nearly two years now. I reloaded the app solely for marketplace while looking for a vehicle. I’m running the latest software & auto update apps on my iPhone 11 Pro. Amongst the more than often crashes I whiteness every couple minutes, the startup and loading speeds of this platform are ridiculously slow. Going back to the purpose of getting this app, when attempting to use the basic filters on here, they often don’t work under the vehicle section of marketplace. When I do get certain filters to work, they more than often lock out and I’m unable to remove them when I want to change to another filter. For instance, I started looking at used Tacoma’s and wranglers, I’ve had to delete the app and reload almost every time just to clear out my filter settings in the cars & trucks for sale page. For a company worth nearly $600 billion, you’d think they’d replace the interface which I noticed hasn’t seen hardly any changes w/ in the past couple years. more -
Keyboard support, less hostile video playback
Jun 9, 2020 Hi there! So I’m addicted to the FaceFeed as anyone else, and I’ve a couple of suggestions for the iOS/iPadOS app. Currently using FaceBook in the Safari browser is better for me because of keyboard support. It seems crazy to me that there isn’t at least support for scrolling through the feed with arrow keys on Bluetooth or otherwise connected keyboards. Commands for search and home and refresh, etcetera, would be nice too- but man, the scrolling thing kills me. Also, I doubt I’ll see a change here as the way videos are currently presented seems designed to keep people watching them, but it feels awfully user-hostile to have to figure out different swipe patterns and do it quickly to dismiss a video before another one plays. Also, the relegating of Airplay options to that sub-menu alongside Chromecast options basically broke proper Airplay support. It never seems to want to stream to my AppleTV properly now, always have to give up and go with the less than ideal screen mirroring system-wide option. Cheers. more

Jul 25, 2021 I've had more problems logging into my page for days only on my phone but for some reason I can log in on my sisters phone. Finally got in on my computer. And the help center 1800 # was absolutely no help and told me to uninstall it off my phone and it will not uninstall or remove. Keeps saying update or open. I'm actually kinda worried that my phone has been hacked....smh more -
Going downhill fast...but hoping it gets better:)
Jan 24, 2021 I’m great full to Facebook for ability to keep in touch with friends and understand they maintain a free platform. The continual and complex privacy features seem to be largely a CYA action to cover up FB own intrusion to privacy while managing to restrict freedom of speech at same time🤥 (as I currently reload one account to gain access to manage photos feature). I’ve never seen so many scam and MLM marketing advertisements as the ones forced into my newsfeed, sponsored marketplace ads (even if I choose local PU only!) ...the sheer number of obvious fake FB account friend requests (seriously, NO photos, NO friends🤪😜…and constantly ignoring my preference Not to have friend requests or suggestions from these accounts!). When scam, for profit obscure “fundraisers” are called out in comments...FB allows the companies to moderate and delete the comments...admittedly it’s a tough issue to vet advertisers- so why not let customers post feedback in comments...or have a link to public records of alleged performance of “for profit” fundraising companies hiding behind legitimate non-profits? Sorry to rant, could go on...but I do have hope for the future...and can’t wait for more competitive platforms to develop! more -
Jul 25, 2021 Only giving 2 stars, because after the update when I get notified for a comment or someone reacted to a picture on my FB or there's it does not take me to it, ? Why is that like I want to go to check something it takes somewhere else like no, no, no so there 2 stars and I'm being nice I should have just give 1 star more -
Shutting down
Oct 3, 2017 I don't know why but lately Facebook app has been shutting down and going to my main screen while I'm reading something😡very annoying!!! Fix this bug please! It also refreshes on its own. That's really annoying too when you are going through comments and then back out wanting to continue where you were before going to the comments and it decides on its own "nope you were done scrolling" 🙄 Nothing has been fixed. It still does all of the above even tho there's been tons of updates. Seriously fix this issue it's annoying! Stars went down bc it still hasn't been fixed STILL REFRESHES ON ITS OWN! When will this be fixed??? In the middle of reading something in Facebook and go to my internet for a second and then back to Facebook and it decides I was done and refreshes and sends me back to the top! Very annoying and j lose posts I was in the middle of reading. Why won’t you fix this issue. Many people have the same issue yet you don’t fix it!! Stars went down yet again bc it’s not fixed. One 1 star to go and honestly if I could give it a 0 star I would! Fix the freaking problem already!!! more -
They have taken the freedom away!
Jun 15, 2020 So much has changed about fb when I first downloaded the app I absolutely loved how you can stay connected with family and friends but somehow the very core of that has gone missing. Now you have to pay to be seen ! On both Instagram and fb !! I see the same 7 ppl on my timeline but some how I have 5000 active friends. I can post daily and won’t be seen how can a small business even be seen without the burden of coming out of pocket just to still not be seen unless you come out of pocket daily! As an African American I definitely feel RED LINE when using this app ! And I definitely don’t feel like it’s equal opportunity on all the major social media especially this one . When we try to “ pull ourselves up by the boot straps “ we are constantly systematically STOPPED speaking from my own experience! and I’m rarely one to speak on things like this but however it did prompt me to leave a review. Hopefully things can change for the better. To think an app that was supposed to connect us with family and friends are doing everything in their power to stop us from connecting more -
No notifications about my posts!
Nov 12, 2018 For the last 2 months, the notification settings in the app are a complete mess. The app will have the red number, but one of them are about my own posts. Any reactions or comments to MY posts don’t load in the list of notifications, so I have no idea about comments or reactions unless I actually go to the post itself. All I see are notifications about my friends’ posts. Further, while the news feed works fine, the list of notifications is limited to EXACTLY 20 notifications. When I scroll to the bottom, the page just jumps and doesn’t refresh to show any more than exactly 20. Maybe once a week I will scroll and be surprised to be able to scroll past 20, but it’s not because of anything I did or didn’t do. AND once I scroll back to the top of the list and scroll back down, I’m limited to 20 again. AND notifications for my posts still aren’t in the list. I have a brand new iPhone 6s Plus (3 months), so if Facebook doesn’t fix it soon, I am going to be convinced that the problems are a way to push people to upgrade their phones to the newest versions. more -
Little details make a big difference
Feb 8, 2020 Here recently videos have started displaying this keep watching button right in the middle of the video. If I’m just scrolling through my newsfeed and want to watch a video in it’s entirety then I should be able to do that!! Not only that but then I also have to deal with the ads in the video too! It’s frustrating and makes the app not very enjoyable to use! Also, the back/forward arrows on a webpage need to be put back where they were at the bottom of the page. It’s too easy now to hit the X button to close a webpage when all I really wanted to do was go back a page. Very frustrating when you’ve been looking at something for a long time only for it to close and then the newsfeed refreshes and you’ve lost the link you were looking at originally. None of the other apps (Pinterest, Instagram) do this. Their back/forward buttons are at the bottom of the screen, away from the “X” button so you don’t risk closing your page. It’s little thing like this that make or break an app. And right now Facebook, you’re on the verge of falling apart. more -
Seriously?
Nov 30, 2019 Okay so well I love the app. I get to talk to my family and join groups specifically the ones about animals and anime’s I like/have. But there’s just one thing that makes me mad. You guys took away my market place, I’ve contacted help and support so many times about it. I’ve gone to that stupid webpage that tells you steps and none of that stuff is even on my page like to request a review. I did nothing wrong. I sold antique dolls my mom got when she was younger, I sold a model helicopter and a skateboard. That’s it. That’s all I was selling. And I was completely transparent in telling people the damages they had and pricing them reasonably. So I know I didn’t break any of your rules. I saw that it could be cause I was inactive. Sense I have become a lot more active. I’m on everyday, I update my profile picture all the time, I joined groups and I’m always talking in those. I even like and comment of some of my friends and families post so I know that being inactive isn’t the problem anymore. I also know that marketplace is in fact active where I live cause I’m in Texas! ALSO the entire icon is gone and hasn’t returned. more -
Learn How to "Keep it Sold"
Nov 22, 2019 Updated review Nov 2019. Stop messing up the app. Fix the bugs, but stop tweaking it. Once again, when I go to Groups, I know longer see the Groups I belong to. This feature has gone away before; I reported it and it was restored. Now, after the latest update it’s gone again. A basic business adage is to "keep it sold" which means taking care of your current customers while you also develop new ones. You've already got millions of us sold on Facebook, so quit screwing around with the app and just give us a stable, reliable feed. Let the users decide what they see in their wall and in what order. I understand you make money from ads, so go ahead and put them out there, but let us manage our own content and interaction with our own friends, groups and pages. The more your developers keep tweaking with the app, the less appealing it becomes and the more unstable. Now it keeps freezing and quitting, making it difficult to post. Do you even ask your users what kind of changes they want before messing with the app & your stupid algorithms? more -
Censorship
Nov 20, 2020 I have to say all though this app initially started out fun it has in the last few years become under Nazi rule. The first thing I ever had removed by Facebook was a picture of a kitten. They removed it because they said it went against community standards. I was shocked. As time went on my friends had posts removed that were in no way against any community standards but I continued to see horrible videos of decapitations by Isis. This app or the people behind it definitely play favoritism to certain anti American groups and target specific other groups and individuals. Another problem is Facebook has no problem monitoring and censoring people but when it comes to fake ads that they run on their site they allow their users to repeatedly get scammed buying bogus items from fake ads. People and myself have lost money on these scams. You would think Facebook would spend some time monitoring and censoring those instead of encroaching on free speech. Most likely they are getting some kick backs from these fake Companies. If you like free speech stay away from this app. Go to MeWe. more

Terrible customer service
Jan 14, 2021 Got a 7 day suspension for posting a pic of me I have posted numerous times and never had an issue. Said it was a 7 day suspension but it shows 30 days. No ability to send my reason why I disagree and the other problems. continuously receive requests from obviously fake profiles from "women" with large breasts in skimpy outfits. All their other friends are from Ghana or Nigeria so obviously Russian trolls. I report and get replies that FB sees no issue. No way to actually send real message more -
Facebook is unfair
May 24, 2021 Facebook had become basically unusable for months. Many users repeatedly post the same issues without any response or resolution from Facebook. I'm an IT professional it appears the app is incapable of keeping up with the volume, maybe server issues. The app freezes constantly and crashes. Isn't working at all while on wireless have to turn off my wireless to have any hope of being able to review my notifications. Anytime I get a new notifications it throws me out of where I am and back to the beginning of my notifications. Then I have to start all over again paging through the hundreds of notifications I receive to try to find where I previously left off which is next to impossible due to the endless freezing and crashes. Notifications I previously reviewed continue to show unread making it impossible to figure out which ones l've reviewed. The app has gotten totally frustrating to use to the point it's taking me several hours a day just to get through notifications, there aren't enough hours in the day to deal with Facebook which is slowing becoming a full time job to deal with. It's a good thing it's free because no one would pay for software that doesn't work and provides no customer service or issue resolution. They constantly make so called updates that break previously working functionality. The updates are unwanted by the users, what we want is a reliable app not a bunch of bells and whistles that do nothing to improve the user experience. more -
Jul 24, 2021 It does nothing but freeze it has got to where it shows NONE of my notifications on my business page It won't show me anything but if I go to the post, I have likes and comments and reviews!! They need to FIX THIS!!! I have reported the issue many times and still nothing! You also are censored, the only post allowed are those by a certain party they put those who post their Christianity and conservative view in Facebookjail! more -

Hope to improve immediately. more -

You’re not allowed to be yourself anymore
Aug 8, 2020 Facebook used to be a fun place to connect with old school friends and family..a place where I could freely express my unique self. You used to be able to post anything you wanted whether it was true or not, just because you felt like it and nobody really cared! Some things opened up great discussions! Now, everything you share or comment is scrutinized by behind-the-screen random, ghost people. These people have their own opinions and when you freely express yourself like before, your posts or comments will be taken down, blocked or hidden, and all of your audience will be notified that your opinion or posts just happens to be something they personally disagree with. I did a test and posted 2 polar opposite opinions on an issue just to see what they would do, both of them were false news. The fake news I posted about current and political events had 2 distinct viewpoints. The one the ghost person disagreed with, was covered up and labeled as false with a link to an article for my audience to click proving their viewpoint. The other one that was also fake news, fit their personal viewpoint and they never touched it. I personally disagreed with both things I posted but found out quickly what the viewpoint was of the ghost robots behind the screens reading everybody’s personal stuff. Facebook is NOT a good thing!! more -

Orwell’s 1984 “Thought Police”
Jun 18, 2021 When Facebook askes the question “What’s on your mind?”, they don’t actually mean that! We have all watched Facebook become absolutely tyrannical in the last 18 months as they are desperately trying to stop the truth from being exposed. Facebook used to be a safe place of free expression and a place to be able to discuss thoughts and ideas. Facebook is losing it’s purpose as a place to communicate even with friends and family. Everything that we say is censored even down to the smallest infractions. They are not even the slightest a bit concerned about Americans having freedom of speech to discuss freely among each other today’s most important issues. Anybody with an opposing view is immediately censored and discredited by their so-called fact checkers. The same “fact” checkers have been repeatedly and openly disproven on many occasions. Facebook refuses to offer a fair and balanced platform for all to share their ideas. They have made an all out war against anyone who disagrees with their agenda. They are against anything that is good moral whole true or virtuous. I have seen peoples pages disappear altogether without having any warning or previous bans. They simply tried to log in one day and their account was gone! this is an evil company with an evil agenda. I would not recommend anybody use this app. more -
Jul 24, 2021 Your last update makes me unable to receive any notification, and while I open the app and klik the notification bar, there's no new notification that can be seen, only the old ones. FYI, my phone is Samsung A51. Fixed it right away and stop making any silly and unnecessary changes like this. more
What’s Groovy
It would be easier if image can be filter by categories when attaching image in comment. It would be better experience if you fix the problem when looking images in market (cannot swipe right, left,... always stuck at the first image) It would be awsome if you have shortcut icon in newsfeed (link to shopping, games, news, ... - included groups or pages, or fb, I will mark/tag by my self, you should give 2, 3 tags / each)

What’s Subpar
When watching videos and reading news articles incredibly annoying popup ads pop up overtop of what I am reading. I click “x” to close it and soon after get more popup ads! Why is Facebook making their app work like this and make it unusable? There is a thumbs up like icon. There should be a thumbs down dislike icon as well on your iOS app as well as website. Glitch! I have my iPhone 11 Pro set to mute as I am working on a TV show and can’t have audio go off. If I open Facebook audio from videos plays! ALL audio should be set to mute as my phone is set to mute with the switch on the left side of the phone showing a red bar. It’s ridiculous that you have to mute your phone and then also mute every video that plays inside Facebook. Please fix! Lately there have been SO many annoying video popup ads overtop of news stories I read on Facebook. Sometimes a popup ad over another popup ad. Is Facebook that pressed for cash that they make their app work like crap?
Today I was reading news articles on Facebook and scrolled down to see an ad. This stationary picture was shaking quickly from left to right making it difficult to read anything and hurt my eyes. Please do not allow this!!!
