Is the Facebook Mobile App that they advertise on Facebook free?

Any functionality loss in an Facebook app-page compared to a Facebook fan-page?

  • I'm currently promoting an iOS and Android app. I've chosen to only have a facebook app page instead of both an app page and a fan page. I did this because I wanted to have all the likes for the app on the same page. Now i've encountered some problems; for example, I can't see the total amount of likes, only the amount of friends liking it (which in it self seems to be bugged because the amount of friends are varying all the time...) Is it possible to show the total amount of likes on the app page? Is there any downsides using only an app-page? If there are any experts on the topic I would also like to ask if its possible to change app; in this case the current app is an pre-reg for our app, when the app is launched I want to change the app-page to represent the native iOS and Android apps. It seems like its ok since you can edit this in the developer section. But you newer know... Has anyone tried this?

  • Answer:

    On Feb 1, 2012, Facebook is eliminating App Profile Pages, so this will soon be a moot point. For pros and cons in the past though, see If you want to see the likes, you can check a like button or box linked to the app url. If you aren't already using one somewhere, you can go to the "create a like button" (or like box, etc.) page and just type in the URL and it will render one right there that you can check. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ And regarding switching the app, changing where it's pointing, code, etc. - all should be doable. You are the one who controls the app; Facebook is just there to redirect to your code and provide a platform to serve that code on. Obviously users don't appreciate if you go too crazy with the bait-and-switch, but switching out a pre-reg seems very understandable.
