Thanks for the link thought i was going mad, crashing on ios6 on ipad3 and ipt5 here... Gone back to the web version for now.
It was crashing for me on launch too, but doing the following resolved it for me just now:
1. Open the app and quickly hit the menu icon in the top left.
2. Go to your timeline (this must be done before it crashes).
3. Let your timeline fully load.
4. Go back to the News Feed and let it load, should now be fine
State restoration issue perhaps? Although that wouldn't explain why it's still broke for people who reinstalled the app...
Thanks KSean, above solution worked fine for me!
Wifes 4s on iOS 6 started crashing a bit ago. I deleted the app to remove the cached data and re-installed and so far its working. I have updated my 4s to iOS 6.0.1 and works fine so far on my device (never had the crash before or after). Dont think its iOS 6.0.1 related just bad timing I suspect.
working for me now without doing anything different... no restart no nothing. must have been an issue on facebook's end
I had the problem in each OS version. In fact i did the update to .1 just in case it was an ios problem. When changes are made to the FB servers they get distributed throughout the server farm. This does not occur all at once. I'm sure your FB friends had complained about a new feature on the Web interface while others had no idea what feature they were referencing.
So yes, I think your recent experience of not seeing it on .0 was a coincidence. I write ios software/apps as well as several other os's and this is all about testing. The common denominator is the FB servers. That the FB app was not written well enough to handle these problems with more elegance is, sadly, secondary.

This worked for me.
Mine started crashing this morning before I updated to 6.0.1
The update didn't resolve this problem but the above did.
Thanks.
Yeah, I have heard that some people are still having problems after the fix I used, even still having problems after removing login info from iOS and re logging in to iOS, so I don't know what is going on there
As for me, I thought uninstalling and re installing would work as it seemed like it was app data becoming corrupted after the update.
Although it is more likely an error on Facebook's end, maybe still having something to do with the iOS integration.
Crashing FB whilst scrolling
Started crashing tonight used this afternoon and all was fine. Reloaded FB no difference.
No FB perhaps the dog will get a walk tonight

Works fine on both of my 3GS running iOS 6.0. I have the latest version of Facebook as well, version 5.0.1, no issues so far, although I'm not a heavy Facebook app user.
FB working again ?
All working again, update to .1 made no difference, so walk the dog came back and now it is working again. If you have not got a dog and want to use the same fix, you can take mine for a walk no problem.

Oh no !! Facebook is crashing whatever will you do?!?! .....
Thanks for your input dumb@$$.
I was merely pointing out that it seemed to be related to the updated. It is working fine now, and the mobile version worked just fine all along.
