what's the advantage(s) of the facebook app over the facebook website?

[Elie Nasrallah]

I mean, is there any benefit of using an app and not using the browser to open facebook.
the same for twitter

I've switched back and forth between using the Facebook app vs. site on my phone. They look and work pretty much the same. The only real differences I've found:
- Apps can do notifications even when you aren't using them, but websites can't.
- Apps look a little better and may have a few additional features.
- You don't have to re-login as often with an app compared to a website.
- Apps use up space on your phone, websites don't.

Overall right now I just use the FB and Twitter sites, because I found that I couldn't totally turn off app notifications for FB.

i think the only advantages are that you don't have to keep logging in and it might have some additional features. but personally, i would rather use the website because sometimes when you delete a picture or comment, it will be immediately removed on the site, whereas with the app it takes a few days to go away.

The Advantage of the App is you Dont Have to Open the Browser you Can Just Go to Facebook and it will Take you Straight to it and In Some Cases it Can Be Faster and Easier to Access

Not really, I mean you don't have to use your web browser but on the other hand you need to open FB app, so it's pretty much the same.
