The app is just bullshit. On my first test device I was not able to install the app. Then I installed the app on a slate and tried to set up an account for facebook. Afterward I intended to post a short status message.
It was not possible to type a short text without typos (on scree keyboard on a slate is just rubbish). Then I was not able to view my own status just updated. Instead I was confronted with a columen of games tiles.Â
Overall: same as other metro-apps – only boring. I use Android and iOS and I was eager, to switch over to Windows 8. But now I’m going back to Android or iOS or use Windows 7 on netbook.
Sorry, not the thing, I like to use in future

This was like the 100th app. Not bad considering this is only Consumer Preview..
