Frustrated with iOS Facebook app.

I have a Playbook with a Facebook app and the news feed is so much better. Nothing is ever left out. iOS on the other hand misses a lot of content. I have tried changing to top stories and most recent with no luck. Is this just how the iOS version is?

Thanks.

Yeah. Thats one of my gripes with it. It's also infuriating that you can't delete messages. At least it actually runs decent now.

Yeah! Thanks.

Edit: is there a way to delete an entire conversation and not just individual messages?

Hmm. I don't know. I stopped using the Facebook app. I also didn't like the way it used the app to view links. You couldn't use reader or landscape mode. I use the browser for face book now. Maybe when the app gets better I will try it again.

Posts that I originally make, true. I don't think I have the ability to edit or delete comments that I might make on Friends posts, correct? Not from the iOS app anyway.
