What You've Been Missing

In the past, accessing Facebook from an Android device meant forgoing some of the site's most touted features. To select custom privacy settings for individual posts, tag photographs, or share friends' posts, you had to get to a computer. You might have been able to take Facebook with you on your mobile, but you'd have to leave these advanced capabilities behind.

FriendCaster for Facebook (formerly known as Flow) sets out to change all that. In addition to providing access to familiar features such as your News Feed, Profile, Check-Ins, etc., FriendCaster unlocks a vault of Facebook capabilities that Android users have previously had to do without, combined with SSL encryption, an easy-to-use ActionBar User Interface, and interactive pop-up notifications.

Custom Privacy Settings for Each Post

Your family and co-workers probably aren't interested in all of the same things, and some boundaries have to be respected. With FriendCaster, you finally can select a special privacy setting for each Facebook status update or link you post, right from your Android. Share all of that cool stuff with the people who you know will enjoy it--and not the people who just won't get it.

Share Your Friend's Posts

Seemingly one of the most basic Facebook capabilities, the ability to share your Facebook friends' posts with others has been out of reach for Android users. FriendCaster's interface unlocks this feature. Now there's no need to wait until hours later to share your friend's post from your home computer. Just tap the "Share" button--as you would on the regular Facebook site.

Upload Hi-Res Photos and Videos, Tag Photos

FriendCaster also lets you do more with photos and videos on Facebook. Upload multiple high resolution media from your phone to your Facebook albums, or to groups and pages that you own. Then tag your Facebook friends in your photos and check out who's tagged in theirs.

Pull To Refresh

FriendCaster's ActionBar UI enables you to refresh your News Feed or Profile pages simply by touching the top of the screen and dragging your finger back (much like Twitter's app for Android). The page will automatically refresh as you pull the topmost post toward you.

Instant Notifications

Worried about missing an important Facebook notification or someone's birthday? Rest easy. FriendCaster monitors your Facebook email notifications and birthday alerts, signaling each with an interactive popup similar to an SMS Popup or Handcent SMS. The popup will even appear over a locked screen and features a quick-reply option.

Heightened Security

For your protection, this app offers the heightened security of enforced SSL Encryption, a widely-used protocol for the transmission of private documents over the Internet. This is the same kind of https secure connection that you can use to access Facebook on a desktop or laptop computer after checking "secure browsing" on the Account Settings page.

This app is great. Faster and more reliable than the standard Facebook App, plus all of the features I wish the real app had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it June 5, 2011

I had some issues when I 1st installed this, it may because I'm using Froyo. I went to Handmark site & got another version. I think what I have now is the old "Flow" version. If the Amazon version is updated & improved, it has to be perfect. I just LOVE the share ability & am not sure why but Youtube videos load much quicker & play better. I really suggest you try this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Great
This app is pretty basic. You can "chat" with friends by messaging back and forth. The app. is nothing special,but I haven't found anything better, so it stays.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quit working
since it's last update it force closes and that's all. Before it stopped working it was ok, but for many actions it would take me to web version which made this redundant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does everything Facebook should
This app is great. Everything you would expect the Facebook app to do can be done easily with friendcaster. It definitely deserves a higher rating.
