Now that it’s fixed, I can give its proper rating

I had previously rated the app much lower due to the fact that it had stopped working after an OS update. Now that it’s working again, I can give it a wholehearted 4 stars. I would actually rate it a full 5 stars if it hadn’t been for the lack of updates and feedback from the developer regarding when and if it was going to be fixed. Updates outside of the developer’s control happen and do often break things. I wouldn’t knock them if they just put in some sort of effort to keep us users informed: an email blast, a note here in the app description, a post on their website, or even just a tweet on their official account. But no, not even a response to emails asking if a fix was in the works.

As it stands, though, the app does exactly what I want (again, now that it’s working): notify me of notifications and messages without having to leave a dedicated browser window open to Facebook.

*** Previous rating ***

Previously, I would have given this app 4 stars. Unfortunately, it’s most useful feature is broken after upgrading to OS X 10.11.2. Until the developer provides an update, the app can only show your News Feed/Timeline; messages and notifications can’t be viewed without opening a full Facebook window (at which point you may as well just check Facebook in a full browser).

Until this gets fixed, I’ve had to turn off Current on all 3 of my Macs.
