Oh, and unlike all those other apps, we don't crash.

menu tab
So far this app looks pretty good to me. Thanks for submitting it, and yes it does feel a lot like the iphone app but seems a lot easier to manage than safari. lol. Do you know how to change the news feed to most recent stories instead of at random? Still I like this app. and for the price? Well that's a bonus.
Great App
I've been using this app for a few hours now and I love it. I've noticed that if I use vo left and right arrows to go through content I get the same results as if I used the trackpad. I didn't see any randomness when scrolling with vo commands. Using the trackpad with this app is very convenient though.
Re: Menutab
Hey Maria. I'm happy to hear that people like this app. To answer your question, there's a sort button in the top right corner after you interact with the html content. You can press on it and the links, top stories and most recent, will show up. I hope this helps.
Having trouble using the app
Hey there.
I got this app to make using Facebook easier on my Macbook Air, and have heard great things about how well it works with VoiceOver. However, every time I open it, it closes right away.
Has anyone else had this problem too? And if so, what would be the best way to fix it? Or is this a bug I should contact the developer about?
Thanks.

I tried the app and I hated
I tried the app and I hated it so much that there was no point in even keeping it. It uses the fb mobile web site and that is ever changing. I tried it even last year and it still was not my cup of tea.
just got this app.
this seems to be pretty accessible. I like how it has a hot key that does help sense there doesn't seem to be a way to get at it even from the status menus option.
In trying this app for I
In trying this app for I think the 5th time I think I'll stick to it this time. I tried their twitter app and it sucked. All it did was bring up a mobile version of the twitter website similar to what this does for facebook.
I find how ever with the facebook version of menu tab sometimes it won't switch focus back to the main menu no matter how many times you click the button. I find a restart of the app works, how ever I don't want to have my fb friends see me log out and in all the time. lol!
