Hrm, I will troubleshoot more, but I was able to download and install, however, not launching. Gets stuck on initial screen.

Love the idea and will keep trying to troubleshoot. :)

Woa! Amazing app! You are one of my favorite devs because of all these tablet optimized apps. The only problem I have with the app so far is that I can only comment or like things from the news feed screen. If I choose something from my wall or a friends wall, nothing happens.

Uninstalled and re-installed. Stalled on the initial login page. I let it sit and it timed out so I selected to FC the app. After that, I relaunched it and came up right away, logged in and it's working like a charm.

Seriously though, this app, Facebook need to pay you royally for it. No matter what they put out, it'll be very hard to top this thing!

Thanks a million and if you ever release a donate version, I'll be the first one on it!

One question. Can this be run on a Nook Color running CM7?

When it does a FC, in the comment say "hey, it's intensus", and submit it. That will help me track down the issue.

Great work! I'll definitely be keeping up to date with the progress on this.

Only thing I can say off the bat is that the refresh button is a little small, I accidentally hit the tab above it when trying to refresh my news feed. Something to consider for the future.

For now this is my go to app for Facebook.

Thanks so much.

    Friend Me 1.1 is now available in the Market! It includes:

    -- A cancel button on the status update screen.

    -- Added comment/like support to the wall fragments on the Friends and Profile tabs. In either tab, click on a wall post and you'll see the screen shift to show the full detail. This lets you view comments/likes and contribute your own. Hit the back button and it will revert back to 3 columns.

    *** NOTE -- July 2, 2011 -- The other night Friend Me was suspended from the Android Market because Facebook asked Google to remove it, citing the "f" in our application icon looks too similar to their trademark. I've worked with Facebook to change this, have gotten those changes approved by Facebook, and now I'm currently waiting for Google to reinstate the application on the Android Market. I hope for this to be fully resolved early this week.

    Until then, you'll get region errors while trying to install the application. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do to actually remove the app from the Market, or adjust the description to warn anyone of the situation. If you'd like to test the Friend Me 1.2 beta, which has been approved by Facebook and is currently waiting for Google, you can download it here: http://bit.ly/fm12beta2

    Friend Me 1.2 is nearing completion and will make a lot of things easier and add a host of new features. Stay tuned, I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.
