Facebook Paper First Impressions

2014-02-03
i'm home everybody-- up with pocket now and this is facebook paper this is Facebook's answer to those in need of a more elegant and organized approach to Facebook or at least that's the intention many complain about Facebook's dull convoluted and unreliable application and with paper this is the answer to at least most of these problems paper is like a flip board in facebook home had a baby where you can scroll from left to right and where photos and storage take up the full screen and a more immersive experience it's extremely snappy and substitutes buttons and taps with gestures that I've gotten used to quite easily you can also pen with photos using the phone sensors instead of your fingers the app even talks to you to help you navigate if you find any problems which is really cool now the real story behind paper is not in its design but really in its purpose facebook wants you to spend more time with them their mobile application and they're trying to merge every excuse for you to lead into the same app as such you can add different sections in the application that provide you with news feeds from sports headlines Tekkit cetera it also merges with pocket and read it later applications to help you organize what you read and in what order as such Facebook is one of these sections and these other feeds are separate sections so your experience is immersive no matter where you are at facebook or within any other section again but this is still paper which is cool now don't get confused again this is still Facebook so you can pretty much ditch the native facebook application and get all your notifications and services here if this is the experience that you like the most all that being said the fact that this is still Facebook is actually one of its problems you'd think that because there is a tech theme then all the tech pages that you've liked will fall under that feed but they don't these are still part of your Facebook feed sadly no you can't create a spam section for all those candy crush alerts from your friends either in that same fashion you can't really select the sources of news that you get from different sections so these can prove to be unuseful to you since these are actually curated and sometimes convenient to Facebook another one of its promises that the text can be quite small for the taste of many and probably one of its biggest issues is that you can only get this on the iphone for now I don't whine facebook paper is still a work in progress but a very good start I really praised the company for nailing a very good product this is a very elegant it is extremely snappy and again it's quite an enjoyable experience if you like an elegant magazine you I if you want a better Facebook client that also brings you your news in one place even though from created sources you can't really go wrong here it was about time that facebook became more than what it currently is and let's just hope that version 2 is more flexible on the sources that's it for a quick walk through a facebook paper do you like the application have you given it a try leave us a comment down below and tell us your experience so far I'm actually liking it you can also follow us on social media subscribe to our YouTube channel as well you can follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore a better visit of this video thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am hi Natalie thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next video
