20 Best Facebook Apps

20 Best Facebook Apps




Apps are everywhere: on your phone,
on your tablet, and, of course, on your
computer. So, it's no surprise there are also hundreds of them
available to users of the most popular social network around, Facebook.


They come in many flavors, from useful utilities to fun timewasters,
like games. You see them pop up in your feed all the time when people
have apps automatically post updates, be they horoscopes or requests
for crops. When Facebook was in the early stages, it seemed impossible
to avoid being asked to be part of a mafia war. Those dark days are
behind us, and Facebook is now home to a slew of fantastic apps.

However, Facebook, in its infinite wisdom, recently decided to phase
out its online app directory, opting to let users search for the apps
they want to run. Considering that only about 0.5 percent of Facebook
users ever used the directory, you probably aren't missing much. But
just in case you don't know exactly what apps to search for, here's our
collection of what we consider the 20 coolest apps available on the
service.


Note that a lot of these apps won't run if you've enabled secure
browsing with Facebook (so the URL starts with https://). You'll need
to turn off that security feature if you want to have some Facebook
fun.
