Ever since Facebook Home was released to the public, a lot of people have gotten their hands on it. While we can't exactly try it out for ourselves barring some hacked up version of the install package, we can look at some of the user reviews for Facebook Home on Google Play to give ourselves a good idea of how the app actually is.Opinions on Facebook Home seem to be polarised. The review rating is averaging out at 2.5 out of 5 stars. The overwhelming consensus seems to steer towards the lower end of the rating scale, though, with the app having gotten 860 1-star reviews, as opposed to only 404 5-star reviews and 187 4-star reviews.The biggest criticism faced by the app is that it eats up too much battery and data usage, while at the same time hampering regular Android features such as widgets. A 1-star review says: "The app's pretty lousy. Causes battery drain, severely hampers operation of your device, it just gets in the way of what you need/want to do."
