any good? honestly now... - Zee.
what's the best iPhone FF app? - Mike Bracco
Will FF ever develop an official app or are they going to leave it up to 3rd parties like this? - Mike Bracco
Mike, I've tried AltertThingy, MotherFeed, BuddyFeed, and Nambu. Each has their strengths and weaknesses -- maybe I should write a mini-review :). - Paul Buchheit
That would be nice :) What turns me off about some of these apps is that it does multiple social networks which usually means compromises in being able to best interface with any one of the social networks. On the desktop front, apps like Seesmic are figuring it out in terms of multiple accounts but I feel the iPhone is behind in terms of a one app for all. So until that happens I'll have the Facebook app for FB and Tweetie for Twitter. - Mike Bracco
FF's iPhone site is pretty good without any third party apps, although I've only tried out MotherFeed. - Antoniu
Paul - Yea, consider doing app reviews.. I'd love to read your take on these FF client apps - Susan Beebe
Sanat, I disagree about the web interface for FF being good. I find it challenging at best. I'd love to see this program developed (refresh and ability to like entries faster) and it'd be good. - LPH™ and his dog P™
I've really only used the iPhone web interface and BuddyFeed, but the one thing I liked about BuddyFeed is the ability to use your photo library when creating posts. That'd be impossible (I think) with a web interface. All the available options are missing the new FriendFeed features like DMing and notifications, but that's a limitation of the available API. - Mark Trapp
Offline viewing and push notifications would be other features, but I don't think any of the native applications offer those just yet. - Mark Trapp
Unfortunately AlertThingy crashes on every start. Even rebooting doesn't help. Interestingly, the first time I launched, it did work. - Lars Trieloff from BuddyFeed
Some people experiencing this problem are telling me that if you uninstall and reinstall it works. i am looking into this issue, it is only happening for a few people. - Jeremy Baines
