there should still be a place for “recently used apps” that have not been bookmarked yet (like a history). I suggest the top right part of the home page

I like the idea of the new App menu. It doesn’t seem to be functioning properly for me though, I don’t have the option to scroll, so the top few apps on my list breach the top of the screen :o(

Anyway I think it would be better to bookmak as many application as one wants in the bottom bar, and not just 5.

Same bullshit, different location – I only see a few bookmarked apps in the chat bar.

It’s not a big deal, but I prefer the “applications” menu back to the top bar. Better to group all “options” in the same area.

If not, I wish it can auto-hide like in Windows.

I like the new placement of the “Applications” menu. Yes it is very Windows-start menu like, which I am totally fine with.

and the feature that Calum pointed out (abt the apps settings bit) is pretty groovy too. Facebook should add a popup note to highlight that out.

btw, those popup notes are also very helpful.

Now to tackle the two access buttons for “Home” and one’s personal profile..
