This application is rather confusing and poorly formatted. Instead of functioning through an application it forces you to work through a widget on the screen (so you can't have a direct link to the program). When you try to open the application it tells you to place a widget on a screen. Once you do this it gives you the sign-in screen and lets you select how often the app updates.
The widget wouldn't be a bad idea if it didn't look so horrible. It shows my profile picture--horribly stretched--followed by buttons to access the home menu, update status, view notifications, and upload a picture. These buttons are too small for easy selection and not terribly functional. Once you do click on one what comes up is a poorly formatted version of Facebook that looks crowded together.
The app has both a free version and a paid version but I don't see why you'd bother.
