AKROBAT Fantastic. Does what it says and very well. Much better than trying to look through all the individual albums on Facebook. Export to iPhoto is a good idea. All in all, well implemented. Good Job!

LAINSNAVI Pretty cool app! One thing that might be cool is the ability to import the names of people in the pictures as keywords in the photos. I have no idea if that'd be possible though.

ANONYMOUS Nice app to bad there are some bugs in it. When I click on friends and then try to see there photo albums, nothing shows up. If I try to see my other friends albums all I see is the person I just tried to click on? It does see albums in the all tab just not in the friends. I look forward to this when all the bugs are worked out. Good start, keep up the good work. | |

MSJSTW Love the idea and all, and the design looks great in the screenshot. BUT this doesn't work for me. It's taking ages to log in and it took ages to load any pictures (waited more than an hour). Any way to fix this? Would really love using it, if it worked!

I am working on some optimizations for 1.0, but it certainly should not take an hour to load the albums (it takes about 5-10 seconds to load ~300 albums on my iMac G5) What kind of computer and internet connection do you have? Also, about how many friends do you have on facebook? | |

thanks for getting back so quickly! I got it to work now!! Yay!!! I had to force quite the app 3 times. First it wouldn't show the log in screen. Then it wouldn't log me in, then it wouldn't show photos after logging in but now it's working!! I have about 500 friends on FB, and more than 10 albums or so. And I'm on a PB 1.33 Ghz, 10.4.10, 80 GB, 1GB RAM

DOGTOWN08 Yeah, it looks like the facebook API was down for a bit earlier, which was probably causing your problems (and problems for a bunch of other facebook apps) So, look for some better error handling too in the next version :)
