For other iPhone users: I&#x27;ve gotten quite used to using the Paper app. It&#x27;s an excellent interface (though it&#x27;s a lot of gestures, so it has a learning curve) and gets you all the same content with a whole lot less shit in my experience (promoted posts and the like.) Also seems like it doesn&#x27;t use the background trickiness that the regular app is full of. You get your notifications and messages same as in the regular one too, though a lot prettier.<p>Also: Speaking as an iOS developer, I can say with certainty that Facebook only gets away with this because it&#x27;s Facebook. We&#x27;ve had a few binaries rejected for bad optimization, I can&#x27;t believe Apple is kowtowing to Facebook so hard as to allow such atrocious software into the App Store.<p>Well, actually I can believe it. Still ticks me off though.
