Bloo vs. Babbler

[All~G1]

Anyone try out both native facebook apps??? Differences, likes, dislikes???

i tried babbler lite while i waited for bloo. but for me to give an honest unbiased opinion i would have to go buy babbler and use it for a week. then go and use bloo for a week and compare...

Babbler

Pros
- Video upload
- Has neat tabs
- Links message to m.facebook.com/inbox since api doesnt support messages ATM.
- Custom sounds for notifications
- Interval for notifications check.

Cons
- Lacks photo tagging / zoom for photos
- Interface is plain
- Refresh time loads slow
- NO cache for feeds / images

Bloo

Pros
- Nice, Clean UI
- Easy to navigate and use app
- Tag photos / double-tap to zoom
- Push Notifications are pretty accurate and fast
- Cache's news feed for quick access again

Cons
- No video upload
- No custom notification sounds

if i find anything else ill add to it.

one thing i dont like about babbler is that it keeps trying to log you in to facebook, when you have signed out.. thats a battery killer IMO ( when your in a area where there is poor or no signal )

positive of Babbler is that load time for feeds / photos are pretty decent over edge

while for Bloo takes 30 sec + for refresh of the feed and photo albums

so well see how it goes in future updates.
i have both of these installed lol
i love 1 for some of the features and the other for its other features

ahhhh they should combine the apps hahah.

babbler loads more feed items.

bloo is missing comments in my feed.

bloo hasn't notified me of any comments (yes, they are enabled)...babbler notifies me.

babbler shows all friends without searching.

babbler shows my inbox.

advantage: babbler, imo.

Agree. BTW the notifications on Bloo are really messed up and with Babble they come in quick. As of now my preference, Babble.
