"Some third party software developers have made good use of the FriendFeed API to create some great FriendFeed iPhone applications. Stay connected to FriendFeed even when you're away from your computer with one of these iPhone apps (at our office, BuddyFeed and Amigo have been really popular)"
- Paul Buchheit
Both paid apps - think I'll wait until after iPhone 3.0 drops before I try them.
- Mitch Wagner
BuddyFeed is solid, but sorely lacking a landscape browser option. And it's still a touch crashy.
- Roger Benningfield
Gosh, I wish there were popular FriendFeed apps for the Sprint Instinct. -from the mobile wilderness.
- Anika
I think the browser would be perfect if you could lock the horizontal scrolling somehow.
- Frankie Warren
I wish there was a mention of the two alternative WebApp-proxy apps, which are fully usable on most smartphones, not solely the iPhone. One of them is f2p <http://dev.ctor.org/f2p/>, developed by Nakamura Hiroshi <http://friendfeed.com/nahi>; the other <http://fftogo.com/login/> by FFeeder Benjamin Golub.

I have been liking Nambu, still in beta and free http://itunes.apple.com/WebObje...
- Drew S
I broke down and bought BuddyFeed about a week ago. It has helped me use FriendFeed more but there are features it's lacking (specifically Twitter sharing integration). solid app overall though.
- Michael Koby
Still looking for the perfect Tri-fecta app: Friendfeed / FaceBook / Twitter "hub". Nambu and Zensify are close on the iPhone, but both are 1/3 short.
- eEditor
I use Nambu on my iPhone and for Twitter on my Mac and like them both. The Mac version is currently without FriendFeed and Facebook, but both are promised 'soon', like end of June/July when it comes out of beta.
- Ken Gidley
BuddyFeed and amigo aren't bad, but they both need serious work on their respective UIs (particularly as it relates to liking and commenting, both of which require about 2 too many taps). I'm excited to see what happens with these in the future. And now I'm actually thinking about building one myself. We'll see.
- Brett Kelly
I made some FriendFeed tables for YQL that make it really, really easy to use: http://bit.ly/TzF2n
- Sam Pullara
How about Android? C'mon developers! Android will be on more devices in the future, including netbooks!
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
These apps all seem to lack some obvious basics, like being able to email a FF item. I own BuddyFeed (and a couple others) and generally like it, but I still bounce to the web app sometimes.
- David Chartier
Use Nambu (FREE), or Safari :)
- Alp
Great thread - thanks for the pointers everyone.
- Mitch Wagner
Is there anything interesting out there for BlackBerry?
- Pablo Melchor
Using Nambu myself-primarily to post to FF and Ping.fm--really great picture integration which the FF/iphone page lacks. It can still hang up a bit--but no complaints since it's free.
- Kelly W.
Pablo - try http://fftogo.com
- Susan Beebe
Thanks, Susan: I tried fftogo.com and it does the trick, buy it is a pity that it has not added the improvements in friendfeed's appearance (e.g. fftogo still displays service icons -twitter, facebook- beside each entry instead of people's pictures)
- Pablo Melchor
All of them offer less functionality than the website, which is perfect. Therefore, all of them suck.
- zio bodhisattva
The website is far from perfect. Posting picture is less than ideal.
- Kelly W.
BuddyFeed is my favorite one out of that batch. However, it crashes way too much
- Susan Beebe
With respect, the API has several big missing pieces, for example DM, IM, and Email. That's why those features aren't in these apps.
- David J. Hinson
If you cannot decide which client to use, ask Hunch: http://www.hunch.com/friendf...
- Lars Trieloff
I second the call for an Android app.
