Facebook has finally launched its much anticipated app for the iPad.

The site has created a launch page for the new app which can be viewed here. It's just now propagating through the App Store so go check if it's live for you yet.

A New Way to Experience Facebook
● Enjoy bigger, better photos
Your photos take on new life on the iPad. They're big, high-res and easy to flip through-like a real photo album.

● Focus on what matters
With less on the screen, it's easier to zoom in on your friends' photos, updates and stories.

● Navigate anywhere, fast
Just tap, slide or pinch to get from one screen to another and back again in no time.

● Never lose your place
Use simplified navigation to send a message, see your notifications or browse your bookmarks without switching screens.

● Play games on the go
Play your favorite Facebook games wherever you are, and on a bigger screen.

● Tap to send messages
A simple dropdown menu makes it easy to scan and send messages without visiting your inbox.

The download link is here.

How to have a nice font in my iPad? Facebook comes with a ugly font.

Not bad and didn't crash much on a 1 hour spin, even on iOS 5! Now if only those guys @ iClarified woul make an iPad app as well, I'd get rid of my last iPhone only app! :)

I second that.. iClarified gotta come up with an iPad app plus do some improvements in iPhone only app.

MeepaMan - October 10, 2011 at 10:11pm

The app crashes on launch. Won't even open. Most powerful website in the world and they can't write a stable App. FAIL.

AoS_HJ - October 11, 2011 at 12:24am

It failed for me first time but loaded second time no problem. Just thought I'd give you my experience to compare. Good luck.

ammadz - October 11, 2011 at 7:41am

Works just great on iOS 5.. For one good hour.. Didn't crash at all..

Now we just have to wait a few more years for the release of functioning iPhone app.. m.facebook.com still kicks the apps ass. Only reason I have the app is to get nonfictions so I can open the mobile web version..
