Good
news for iOS users, the Facebook’s recent standalone application is now
available for download in US. Paper app which is recently launched helps to
explore and share stories from friends and the world around us.
Paper lets you
choose different content “Sections” to add to a sort of digital newspaper. You
can browse a completely redesigned News Feed and your Paper sections to read
stories from friends, public figures and emerging content creators in a
stylized full-screen format. Paper also lets you share the content with a
visually-focused composer that shows a preview of exactly how your post will
look to others.

Created
by a small group of star designers and engineers operating as a sort of startup
within the company itself, Paper is not a replacement for the official Facebook
application so much as an alternative to it. However, it is far more polished
and innovative than Facebook’s other offerings for instance letting the status
updates and pictures luxuriate in a full screen layout instead of displaying
them in a vertical feed.
Paper
for iOS is free to download for anyone in the US with iOS 7 or later. Facebook
has not mentioned any recent plans for an iPad or Android version. Paper is
something of a Trojan horse which is meant to transform the idea of what it
means to use Facebook in the first place. By expanding the quality of content
you can expect to find that Paper is trying to position itself as a place you
will go for news and inspiration and just as importantly, as the kind of place
you will want to dedicate to yourself.
Among
major differences between other news reader apps and Paper is that the latter
does not allow users to add their own links. The design focuses your attention
on just one thing at a time. You can flip through updates one at a time. Each
photo album, web links or single sentence status update gets a chance to fill
the whole screen. Profiles, Pages and Events now have a truly mobile first
design that focuses on images and swipable full-screen cards to convey the most
important images. In the end, it is a complete Facebook client.
