Facebook Home's main feature is a constantly changed display of photos and updates from Facebook friends that consumes phone's battery life and mobile data allowance.
Critics have complained the app's main feature -- a constantly changing display of photos and updates posted by your Facebook friends -- consumes a lot of battery and mobile data allowance.
Many have also complained that the app 'hijacks' a phone's home screen, making it harder to access other phone functions like number dialing, texting and email.
The two-and-a-half weeks old app has however been appreciated it for its 'stylish' and 'simple' design.
A spokesperson for Facebook Australia said that the app was 'a first step' and they were working to 'improve the experience'.
