And this is why "Photos" joined all the other permissions in off-land for the Facebook app. If the mobile web version wasn't horribly janky, I'd delete the app entirely.
I use only mobile web version of facebook and it good enough. No notifications and it's simple.
That correct. I use the web app as well. It works pretty well.
Never tried the app, but I haven't noticed anything janky about http://m.facebook.com on my android phone. Perhaps they fixed it since you last looked?
It's what I use about half the time - the app doesn't have access to cellular data (because they seem to be playing silly buggers with pretending to be a music player / vpn / something) which means I use the mobile web version (on Mobile Safari) any time I'm not in the office / at home / in Starbucks.
Try the mobile web version again. I think it's improved in the last 18 months or so. I use it on Chrome for Android and it's not bad.
