Facebook App Frustrations

[plarser48]

I'm a big fan of the Facebook "lists". It allows me to select a group of close friends only read that news feed, thus filtering out all the noise from the rest of the world on.

It seems the official facebook app does NOT offer filter by lists which is very frustrating and downright useless for me. So I heard of Friendcaster which seems useful, and offers lists. However, in order to get to it, I always have to pan across a bunch of filters first. I can't find a way to set it as a default.

Any recommendations on filtering for mobile facebook? Any techniques or other apps to try?

The official Facebook app gained support for this starting with 1.7 (I think, it might have been one of the 1.6 updates)

The problem, like a few other things with the app, is that it doesn't quite work the way it should. Lately the option hasn't been showing up when the news feed loads. Menu -> Refresh should make "All Stories" appear in the upper right of the blue bar. When you click All Stories, it may or may not display your custom lists. Hit back once, and then go back in and all your lists should show up.
