As you will undoubtedly know, from Friday it is available at Google Play the new of Facebook to Android: Facebook Home. Since its presentation last week, the launcher has attracted a lot of media attention and, despite its initial restrictions for a few smartphones, the desire to test it has made it quick to come up with the solution to be able to put it on practically any device. . However, it seems that after the great expectations it had aroused and all the buzz that has been created around it, those who have tried it are not exactly enthusiastic about it. The ratings of users in Google Play they are predominant negative.
Android seems to be thorny territory for Facebook and there is still no indication that the situation is going to change: if previously the problem was criticism of your application for Android (Recall that Zuckerberg was forced to force his employees to use the operating system of Google to improve it), the situation has not improved much with his Facebook Home. And
l new launcher for Android the social network had generated many expectations and, without a doubt, has attracted a good number of users who have been encouraged to try it, judging by the download figures it shows Google Play (even despite the meager official list of compatible devices), but the feedback is not exactly positive: already with more than 3.000 user ratings, the Average grade is a 2,4 and and almost a 50% of those who have tried it give only a star.
The avalanche of bad ratings, as they showed us yesterday in The Next Web, started a few hours after its launch: as you can see, with less than 1.000 user reviews the results were practically identical: Average grade de 2,3 or with a 49% of valuations with a single star.
The worst thing is that, despite the fact that this medium initially speculated that the criticism could come from users who had not even tried it, the truth is that to evaluate an application now in Google PlayIn addition to doing it with your real name, you can only do it if you have downloaded it. Several analysts argue, however, that it is actually a problem of understanding what it really is. Facebook Home and how it works, that valuations are likely to improve over time. We will see how it evolves.
