New target: 5 million. This could take time. It took ten days to reach Facebook Home 500,000 downloads and more than 20 days to double that number. This slowdown and average performance reflects the reception rather critical of Facebook Home.
Bugs and up-to-date
Many quite negative tests have been published since the release of the software, and Facebook Home does not add up to five of the 16 000 and some votes on the Google Play Store more than two stars. Many bugs have especially put off users. Facebook has released an update to day since, but this does not seem enough.
Especially since this one million downloads, it has no idea how many have deleted the application thereafter. Facebook should have an idea - he knows the rate of removal some time after the download, but not beyond.
