Why an app for Facebook instead of browser? Looking for a GOOD FB app? Look here!

Why artificially limit the functionality? Bloo is better written than the stock app for viewing images, and not kicking you out to the browser.

Log in from your pc to facebook, click account in the upper right, click application settings. From there, find the drop down menu and select "authorized". Find Bloo and set permissions that way.

OK, they're all checked. I'll have to try it again. Thanks.
No problem. That should be the fix you needed!

Just wanted to update anyone following this thread who's interested to know...
I'm currently beta testing the new chat feature for bloo!!! I've been in contact with the dev most of the day and we've been putting chat through it's paces. He's told me that he still has some polishing to do and I've come up with some things for him to look into, but it's really an AWESOME feature so far!! Can't wait to see his finished product!
No official word yet on when he's going to release the update featuring chat, but he DID say that he's hoping to release it in the next day or two depending on how much work it takes to fix the issues he was aware of and any that I've reported which he can recreate himself and figure out a fix for.
Also, not sure if I mentioned this already in this thread, but he's posted on his site that it appears that Facebook has fixed the issue with missing comments. He had attempted to contact them with no response, but so far they seem to be working again.

Not this time around. He's posted in his update news that he decided to postpone the widget to work on chat, so maybe now that he's got chat started, he'll go back to working on a widget. No promises though. I haven't asked about a widget because I don't think I'd use one. Also, as great as chat is so far, I'm sure he'll have other stuff to tweak, adjust, and add to it.
Can I ask what's the use of a facebook widget? To see your friends' updates, or to post yours more quickly?
I have the stock app's widget and a selection of 3 sizes from touiteur for twitter, but I never use them. Every time I put the fb one on the homescreen, I end up taking it of that same day. They rarely stay as up-to-date as I'd like, and then they take up too much space fit a quick way to post if they have other people's updates as well.
Just my opinion. Wondering what the big deal is.

Tried this at your recommendation...program is not functioning...something is screwy.
I started it up, clicked the get code, put the code back into Bloo and logged in. It showed me the start-up screen, and even said <My Name Here> Check out your wall and profile.
HOWEVER, when I click on my name, it tells me that I'm not friends with that person (!). Also, clicking on Friends will reveal my friends' names, but selecting a friend tells me, again, that I am not friends with that person. The Feed is blank, no matter how many times I refresh it, and despite the fact that even the cruddy "stock" FB app shows me all of this missing stuff.
The only thing that seems to work is Photos.
I have gone into FB through my PC, and I have gone to the Application authorizing page, and I have made sure that Bloo for Android is there, and I have checked all three boxes in the additional permissions tab, and still nothing.
I tried rebooting in case that was an issue, but all that did was clear out my login code, and I had to generate a new one and re-login.
Have you seen this before? Any advice? I really dig the set-up, and I'd like it to work...

How long have you had it installed and authorized? Sometimes it takes some time. I HAVE heard of this issue before, but can't remember what the solution is. I should be in contact with the dev again later today, so I'll see what he says. Hang tight!

They're working now. The dev had posted in a forum for facebook app devs about the issue, along with other devs. Facebook never responded, but comments are working again.
The reason the stock app will sometimes work when bloo doesn't is because the stock app is a "trusted partner" and bloo is simply a third party app. Facebook api handles those types of apps differently, unfortunately.

thanks for the quick reply...i've only just installed it, so maybe that's the issue...sorry if i missed that disclaimer somewhere; my eyes are burned out from scouring threads about getting the stock FB widget working. i'll sit tight and update in a few hours if there's no development. Thanks again!
