The default Facebook app for Android is awful. It’s slow, laggy, sluggish, irksome, and any other words you might be able to come up with that mean terribly written. Flipster is different: rather than taking Facebook’s HTMl5 based delivery approach, Flipster uses actual Java code to speed up things immensely.

Flipster is designed from the ground up to be Holo-themed. It’s fast, beautiful, and even includes features like notifications and groups. You can engage in conversations, RSVP to events, and even view a calendar of birthday parties. That feature is particularly useful for anyone who is constantly forgetting birthdays.

If you’re looking for a Facebook app for your phone, please uninstall the official Facebook app. It’s terrible! Instead, do everyone a favor and install Flipster. You won’t regret it.
