iPad 2 Hello. App
"Facebook experience on iPad, redefined"
On Facebook

On Twitter @HelloiPadApp
Hello. iPad App is a refreshing unobstructive Facebook viewing experience on iPad. We hate as much as you do having to navigate away to a comment or photo page and coming back to the main feed losing track of where it was. And that is why we want you to experience Hello. on iPad!


Themes
Multiple themes
Mix and match all you like, make Hello. your own. Suggest more ideas and we'll get it into the next version

Chat
Facebook realtime chat
Now you have it, the most requested feature of all. You will get notified for new message while browsing Facebook

Checkin
Checkin with photos & tags
You love to check into places with photos and tag multiple friends on the iPhone app? Now you can on the ipad too, with the exact same feature and intuitive flow no other app has!

Share
Share links and video
You came across a funny video or great article and dieing to re-post or send to a friend, you can too with Hello. and we are again the unique app that make that process painless. You don't even have to stop reading the article nor stop watching the video

Bookmarks
Bookmarking
Bookmark your loved ones and open their profiles with exactly two taps instead of having to search through the lengthy friends list.

Wheel
The action wheel
Sometimes you just don't want to leave whatever you are viewing and check out whose profile that little small avatar is. With this 'profile wheel' you know who that is and could quickly send a message or bookmark them.

Profile
Quick look profile
Again, you don't need to leave the current to be able to get a larger view of a friend's profile. There's coverflow-style profile images just in case one is not enough for you to tell who that is.

Status_update
Status update
Ofcourse, the most important feature: status update. And we make it better with multiple photos upload!

Photo_comment
Inline photos and comments
Probably the best inline and unobstructive experience viewing Facebook photos and comments on iPad you could get right now.

News & Updates

1 July Combined updates
Firstly we would like to apology to our Premium users. It has been a long month without actual update

We have been pushing out updates consistently to the Apple App Store, however, due to some unknown reasons the Lite version always got approved first, while the Paid version is no where to be seen.

After contacting Apple several times, we still could not get any good answer except the standard "we will email you when it is approved" kind of response (duhhh!)


So in the mean time, please try out our Free version to experience the revamped Hello. App!

Please do spend some time to read more about these issues here

15 June 100 FREE PREMIUM COPIES on launch of Hello. iPad Lite!!!

11 June 1.3.1 is shipped!
It took a lot faster than we expected for this version. The changes includes:

• Full screen photo browsing mode and new Save to Gallery feature

• Faster switching between pages, no more black screen

• Bug fix for notification + comment popups, now they work as should have been

• Color fix for dark themes, text are more visible

With this update coming so much earlier than we planned, moreover, we are experimenting on a lot of big changes so the next update is probably going to take awhile.

In the mean time, we welcome any suggestion and feedback via email. And don't forget to give us a favorable rating on the App Store.
10 June Version 1.3.0 has been released
It has been more than a week since we last updated this. We have been very busy experimenting with some big changes behind the scene.


Facebook did change some structure of its data again. If you have noticed, similar apps like Hello. have been affected by these and most of them do not work well anymore.

However, Hello. was only slightly affected because we do things very differently to ensure much better experience for our users.

On top of that we have been shipping out updates extremely fast, almost every week to enhance and correct bugs before you even notice them.

So together with this new version, we have submitted the next update for review (Yes, again!) and we have a surprise in this update for you!
2 June The coming soon Theme Mixer
Just a head up, version 1.2.4 is out today, update now!


And as promised, here's the sneak peak into the new Theme Mixer

Themes
31 May v1.2.4 & v1.3 with Chat & Themes
We are expecting v1.2.4 to be out within a day or two from now. This is only a minor update, it fixes some of interface problems such as the Like/Comment buttons


Right now we are testing out v1.3 among our private testers.

This update include two most requested features : Chat and Theme selection. We will post a few theme combination after we have finalised some of them!
26 May v1.2.3 is ready for download
Please do an update to Hello. v1.2.3 has several exciting new features (see details in the post below)

We are only 16-days old and we are still in the process of adding a lot more features to make Hello. the best Facebook experience on the iPad.
22 May Exciting new updates
We have completely revamped the Check-in feature in our new version and it had been well-received by our private testers. You can attach photo and tag multiple friends in the same place. (Sneak screenshot in Gallery)

On top of that we have implemented one of the most requested feature : (re)share video and links and it is also in the update.

The videos has been changed quite a bit by Facebook and we have also reworked that to make the experience much better.

So, because of these new exciting additions ahead of schedule, we have decided to skip 1.2.2 currently waiting for approval. We took it down and submit the next update including all of above features as 1.2.3 instead

Stay tuned!
21 May v1.2.1 is out
