Tinfoil for Facebook (v. 1.1.5) Разработано Daniel Velazco |
Tinfoil for Facebook is for those users that require a Tinfoil Hat when logging in to Facebook. It creates a sandbox for Facebook's mobile site in order to protect your privacy and to avoid the ability others to track your browsing history.
Requires INTERNET permissions, and if you are skeptic about it, feel free to check the source code here: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook
It also requires the "COARSE_LOCATION" permission. This is NOT used UNLESS you enable "Allow Check-ins" on the preferences, otherwise Check-ins won't work. This option is disabled by default.
Latest:
- Ability to upload pictures through the web interface (Newsfeed -> Photo -> Choose file). This is not the same as "picture sharing" since you can't do it from your favorite gallery application yet, that's coming soon.

[2013-01-04] A Google User: Worked great, then just quit. Updates have not fixed. :( |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Yah awesome Verry lite.. and super fast its better than official fb app |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Was good Till it started opening my browser all the time for no reason. |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Great!! It's much better than the original facebook app! Faster with loading web sites in opposite to the original facebook app which sometimes doesn't load anything. Great work! But notifications would make it perfect... |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Facebook with no weird permissions This app can either run the mobile Web version or desktop depending on your preference. Great app, only complaint is that SwiftKey won't auto correct when making or updating a status. |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: needs improvement cant view photos inside app? |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Easy to use Love the app its very easy to use and lower space needed on my memory. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy S 3 This app seems to work well with my device. Thank you for your efforts in developing this app. Best wishes! |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: One of the best FB apps I've used. That coming from someone who's tried many alternatives. The 'kill' option is great, but there's the occasional problem where it goes to previous page or so when I try to kill it. Great app otherwise. Minimal in terms of features and file size. Would rate again. |
|
[2012-12-07] A Google User: Ok but... Will not notify me of anything |
|
[2012-12-05] A Google User: It's a lovely app, no doubt. But I can't click the icons at the top, esp. notification n msgs. It has forced close twice on my HTC Hero (froyo). |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: G8t Would be better if it blocked "sponsored" posts though :D |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Better than the official app on tablets 'Nuff said. |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Good idea but Can't share anything with it. Always notes invalid link, even if it's just text. Fix coming? |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Much better than official app Because it's faster and lighter, and stays out of my way when I'm not using it. |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Pics wont load! |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Good stuff Don't want Facebook helping themselves to your address book and now every single photograph you have ever taken on your device? You'll be wanting this. |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: Ok Cant view video n photo gallery |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Great App |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: So far so good Just uninstalled original FB because uses 14 MB. This app uses 45 KB. Much better. Gives an authentic web feel. Minor gliches. Will keep using for now. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Good alternative Good alternative of official fb app.. However why no notification? :/ pls allow multiple fb account option! |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: GSK Superb.. |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Worked fine for 5 mins It worked great for the first 5 mins and then it froze and now it won't load at all. Please fix. |
|

|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Web wrapper Does a good job |

|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Ok app but adverts |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: strange Can't do nothing on this app only download pics anyone else having this problem please fix it!!!!! |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Great one, though It is quite fast n light among another similar apps, but there's no notification in background, n I wish it could copy text from the app. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Almost perfect, but... It can't load photos fullscreen because it forces you to open them in an external browser, which just tries to ed download instead of display them. Please fix this. |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: Great app Only issue is it pops up with a "open with" box asking to open in a browser or tinfoil every time you start a new session and if you pick one it seems runs two copy's of the app. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Galaxy s3 It's k |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Status via... Please add status via tinfoil for facebook...^^ |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Love this app! Even better than the Facebook for Android. Most importantly does not take up a lot if memory space |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Not Happy Loads good but not pics are blurry and when i open a pic its clear and very small don't no why |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Superb Great app! Better than actual Facebook app. Like others said it would be nice to have notifications. Must have Facebook app. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Thumbs up! Very good app! But since the app force closed it stopped working completely. Now what I get when I start the app is an incorrect link. What could I do about that? Kim |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Exactly as advertised |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: A fine app indeed. A fantastic application, with a very responsive developer at the helm. Fixed the FC problem in a matter of hours! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Fixed When app crashed on open, was fixed in hours. Good man |

|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Crashes no more Fixed Crashes on startup within 12 hours ! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Better than the original FB app! This is one of the best apps to login to your Facebook and i use this app everyday! What this app needs is video upload, a widget feature, and also real time notifications! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Great again l |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Force close Will not open with new update |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Auto correct only works sometimes Sometimes the app requests a keyboard without autocorrect, which makes it a huge pain to use. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: New update Force close on open Latest version crashes when launched. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Unstable Crashes every time on stock Gingerbread. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: FC FC |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Drains Battery? Even though it's only a browser/wrapper for facebook it still managed increase my battery usage manyfold. |

|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Update forces crash. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Great! This app is awesome but the update today crashes each and every time I start it. Worked well before the update. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Great! Great app, but great dev, and better than pure Facebook Mobile and better than the official app! |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Lovely! |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Now Become Bad New uadate crashes the aap. Force close on startup..please fixed it. |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Facebook app sucks Thanks for a great app :) |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Excellent Safest way to browse as fb tracks your every movement value your privacy then get this it works.. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Quickest way to access facebook This is the first Facebook solution on android that I've actually been happy with! Having tried fast, friendcaster, the official app and others, I was still relying on my browser for Facebook to get the best functionality and no glitches. Tinfoil separates this, keeps you private, provides direct access, and works without a hitch. I don't normally rate apps but really want to say thanks, so thanks! |
|
[2012-09-06] A Google User: This app does Facebook better than Facebook itself |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: I would love to give this another star if some improvements are made. Biggest issue for me right now is that it sends me to my homepage when I click a notification, instead of the comment or 'like' that it should be sending me to. Please fix it, this is one of the only (maybe the only?) fb apps that works well! Otherwise I'll be using the browser for fb. |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: A better app shortcut pic would be nice A better app shortcut pic would be nice but giving you guys 5* good job fast easy and smooth im happy see :) |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Just a browser? This is pretty much just a browser that runs tge mobile site...? Why wouldnt I just use my regular web browser and customise the privacy settings? |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: works fine on my S3 and im lovin it |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: Awesome app! Works great so far. Thanks! |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: good idea I like the app, but recently I'm noticing a lot of battery drain if I leave the app running in the background. If I make sure I kill it after using it, my battery is amazing |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Problem with scandic alphabets This app is great, but after latest update I can't use Ä or Ö (a and o with dots) in comments. When making a status update, they work just fine. |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Sad This app used to be so much better. Lag city!!! |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Hate it! It takes forever to load, I can't upload pictures, its extreamly slow and I'm uninstalling it right now! |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: good idea; poor execution but still better than the FB native app |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Great, minus photo uploading If it had photo uploading it would be perfection. |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Does The Job Very good app. Facebook is a turd, but there's nothing any of us can do about that. Is there a way to have it remember 'most recent' instead of whatever weirdness it defaults to? It's a very small complaint to be sure but sometimes I end up accidentally liking something inappropriate whilst trying to change that. Not the app's fault. That's all Zuckerberg. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Stupid Really!? |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Great app! Just what I needed, a small app to check Facebook. I don't need notifications so it's perfect. My only complaint is that the cache gets big fast and I need to clear it daily. |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Started draining battery Great app. I just recently started noticing, however, that my Galaxy Nexus was getting very hot. When I checked my battery usage, this app was at the top of the list. This just started happening a few days ago. I have been having trouble commenting on the news feed using my Asus Transformer 300. When I hit "enter" to submit a story, it simply adds an extra line in my post. This occurs whether I use the dock or just the tablet. To my knowledge, there is no other way to submit the post using this app. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Awesome app, great replacement. Crashes/force close quite a bit (5-10%) when using the kill function. Official ICS on SGSII |
|
[2012-07-13] A Google User: Nope Facebook requires cookies enabled to login now. App no longer works |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Good: file size is TINY. Bad: pictures still don't load, force closes like it's going out of style... |
|
[2012-07-06] A Google User: Excellent app! A must have if you want to hang on to some privacy and not give everything to Facebook. |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Cant see any pictures at all same as the official one it needs a massive update |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Smart Alternative to Official Facebook App Been slow lately. Had luck forcing mobile/desktop site setting in preferences. Default is auto, seems to hang. Knowing Facebook, they want you to use those app so they can rape your phone for all the personal info they can. |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Perfect. Wonderful. I'd love to see sharing through the gallery and notifications if possible though :-) |
|
[2012-06-15] A Google User: Am also receiving a keyboard bug with ICS Great app. But prediction will some times work, sometimes not in ICS using the default ICS keyboard. I noticed this also happens when in the browser on the Facebook Mobile site. So it's likely a problem with the site, and not your app. (Which is unfortunate as I don't see Facebook fixing it) |
|
[2012-06-13] A Google User: Apps Apps |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: Nice but has issues Cool app but I can't launch YouTube app from links it only lets me open thru browser |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Keyboard bug? -- Update Great idea but when using text input fields I get no auto complete. Using ICS default keyboard. -- Update Auto complete working great now, 5 star! |
|
[2012-06-01] A Google User: Great, but needs an update Worked fine until last night, now my notifications take me to a broken page. |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Unusable while on WiFi After the latest update I can only connect using 4G and not with WiFi. Motorola Droid Bionic. |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: Can't see or upload photos. Very buggy forces close. Fix guys. LG optimus |
