Ok, being an iphoner prior to my android switch some time ago I know that the facebook for android app sucks, I've researched a couple posts on this topic and very varied answers so I wanna get an opinion or answers from my G2'ers of which facebook app is best, id at least like to get quick notifications pushed.
better facebook app?

the first versions of facebook official sucked. the latest version is pretty solid. there's still something things that are odd, like notifications go to the touch site instead of staying in the app, but besides that, its almost fully featured.
that said, the touch.facebook.com site is probably the best. i use the app though.
i used to use Bloo but since fb official came out, ive just used that.

Unfortunately, the official app is the best one, eventhough it's not really that good.
the official app finally has notifications?
ive been using tweetdeck beta...

It does but a lot of different kinds of notification simply don't show up. And even when it does show your notifications properly, tapping you brings you to the browser instead of in the app... pretty crappy. Definitely my number one android complaint (obviously not the fault of android tho)

has anyone tried Bloo ? it was the popular app before the official Facebook app became usable. i know the developer stopped working on it and i'm not sure who took over if anyone but you can check it out, i think i might do that as well.
I actually use a Desire and I've been using Android for years but, I use Bloo. It's awesome compaired to the official app. You'll need to go to the developers site to get the latest version, as it's not on the market.
He explains in his site that he has been working with logitech, that's why he hasn't been able to keep on top of updating Bloo.
As far as I'm aware, he's in the process of making the source code public so someone can make a new app.
The version of Bloo on his site is way more reliable than the official app and has loads more features.

I'm not on G2 yet but for my "daily driver" FB app I use bloo, it is still stuck in beta but it works for notifications and normal useage.... for more detailed info I still rely on the official FB app.
