Customer Reviews
It's a great app, but hindered.
by Zach Nathan
Paper is by far the superior app when it comes to experiencing Facebook on the move. It's clearly built with great design in mind, and works extremely well as both a minor news aggregator and a dedicated Facebook accessor.
Truly, the only fault I find with the app is not actually part of the app itself- it's the less than ideal image qualities supplied by both the news sources and my friends. This hiccup in quality truly does take away from the experience, making it look a lot like an early Flipboard.
If Facebook could figure out how to fix this issue, say by only using the best photos for news streams and auto enhancing my friends, then the total experience would be exceedingly excellent.
As the app itself is not at fault, Paper gains 5 stars in my opinion.

Best mobile app ive Used
by Jose Antonio Tena
As an interactive designer in the social media addict myself when I just covered paper I wasn't expecting much I had that great reviews but mostly I was disappointed they end up being stale Facebook paper is very dynamic it's very interactive and it allows you to discover new ways media that you have never seen before you end up reading a lot more articles that are interesting to you simply because they are now appealing they didn't used to be they used to be links now they Amazing previews, with paper you end up spending way more time with your news also with your friends and with the links they post the links the videos come to live in paper it's really an astounding app it's simply the best app I've ever used

Awesome app, but only available in US
by Kangxi16
Paper is a very awesome app! I like its presentation, just that it may not be ideal to find a particular post out of the millions of spam. Also, in the main Facebook app, u can see more content while in paper u have to scroll more to be able to see more content.
However, the only major perk about Paper is that it is only available in the US. If it could be extended to other countries it would be so much better! :) Also, if possible, an iPad app would be great too (especially with its large screen)!
Overall, this is one of the most awesome apps I had ever used! :)
