Pros and cons of Beejive for Facebook - Chat, Messenger, and More app for iPhone and iPad

Beejive for Facebook - Chat, Messenger, and More app good for

so much better than the original facebook app! this app doesnt crash and i stay online and never fails in notifications. it even indicates whether the user is online in chat. almost perfect but sometimes when i reply in the message it says null. and sometimes it doesnt allow you to browse earlier live feeds or wall posts.. nevertheless, for me its still THE BEST!!! :)
This is better than the facebook app and thanks for the update!
When it comes to keeping you always on FB. This app does the job.
This app is so much better then the original Facebook app! Kudos to this! I love the way it looks! I wish I could give it more then 5 stars ^.^
Brilliant app ! I highly recommend u get it ! One issue is that it crashes a lot.
This app is better but has ads. Id definitely pay for something ad-free.

Some bad moments

Please remove adsheet. This is FAR too annoying. Also add options to remove push for non chat items.
2/5 only because there is no way to get rid of ads, like a free or paid way. And now the app crashes on start up. Fix this
It was fine, but now it keeps freezing and shutting off before I can click on my friends to chat with!! Please fix this SOON!!!
Once someone tells me how to get rid of a notification for an unread message. It says there is x amount of unread inbox messages and being ocd it always has to be at zero for me but i cant get it to hide Help a fellow earthling out! Andrew.hartwig1 at gmail dot com
I really like this app and how its similar to the windows live messenger however.. It wont let me comment or like posts. I just installed this app so its really not making a good first impression. I was also hoping if the developer can update a "log out" button so that I can still maintain my privacy even when Im not in it. Please fix it because id really like to keep this =T.
This app is decent for what it offers, but ultimately the stability just isnt there. Its buggy with FB notification updates, it tends to crash when sending messages, and for some functions it resorts to the full desktop version of FB contained in its web browser; Its just too clunky. As much as I dislike the official FB app, Beejives app is inferior, sadly :(
