The reality is, this rarely occurs and really isn't that bothersome.

We've been building Frontpage - a similar product for making RSS, news and social feeds all available from the Lock Screen - for a few months now. Same idea, no inputting passwords. No fumbling through multiple apps. Just easy access to your content.

Shameless plug, eh? I don't think your product really showcases how most Facebook photos are poor quality since you pull news images as well. I know most of the pictures in my feed are some that I don't give two cares about.

Cool concept, by the way!

This is HackerNews, of course the plug comes first :)

In answer to your question though, yes, quality is not a guarantee. Luckily Facebook has its own built in ranking system - are your friends commenting on the picture? If so, it will probably be worth viewing regardless of image quality

Got this when I attempted to install it:

"This item cannot be installed in your device's country."

Well for starters, where do you live? Let me know where you're at and we can fix this for you.

Google Play requires that you list the countries that you would like your app to be available in. We kept our list relatively short for our beta release, which is effectively what you're trying to download.
