Facebook Application Review of Last Letter

Facebook Application Last Letter

Locations on FACEBOOK

The Facebook Application Review of today is about the just launched App called Last Letter. This new Facebook Application is a simple but very addictive game that will test your memory speed as geographical knowledge.

We you install this Facebook Application you are one click from starting the game. The main idea is to compete against the App by writing names of cities or countries from all over the world, but this locations must start with the last letter of the location entry provided by the Application.

Another good thing that they added to this Application is what they call bonus letters which are letters that if you manage to include in the location that you write will give you extra points.

The design as well as the User Interface of this Facebook Application are top level. Honestly I've seen very few Apps that manage to simplify in such a clean and usable way the idea that they wanted to bring to the users as the developers of last letter did.

Only one thing I would personally change about this Facebook App is that when a user writes a wrong location, he is supposed to erase the location to be able to write a correct one. This leads to time waste while deleting wrong locations, and it's just makes the user feel that he is wasting time and his engagement gets unfocused for some seconds.

Anyway this is a great app, my qualification for this Facebook Application Review is 4.7 out of 5. Check it out and test your expertise about the globe and it's places.

Facebook Application Review of ShtListr

Strike One on FACEBOOK



Today's Facebook Application Review is about the fun App called ShitListr. The concept of this Facebook app is very simple, let's say a friend ditches you at a party or someone forgets your birthday -- you're mad at them, but still not enough to remove them from your Facebook friends. Well that's exactly where this Facebook Application starts being useful by letting you add them to your shit list.

So once you had add some of your "not that good friends" in this Facebook Application list a notification will be posted into their wall stating the reason why they have been added to your ShitList. The cool thing about this simple and very easy to use application is that from this point- "after strike one" - the whole Facebook community can vote in order to promote your added friends and raise their "Crapularity" in the rankings.


Overall this Facebook app looks very nice, they made a good job in terms of UI and design. The only downside that I found it is the fact that some of the posts look a little bit spammy, so maybe some moderation or flagging system could help to guarantee the fun of the ecosystem created by this Application.

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 4.2 out of 5, a cool and fresh idea with a nice design... so go ahead and start adding those nominated friends that we all have and some times do not understand what did they do wrong.
