Facebook has launched its official iPhone app for managing Pages. After a slow rollout throughout other parts of the world, Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone is free and available now in the U.S. App Store. If you manage Pages on Facebook, this app will let you check statistics, post, comment, and more on the go.
Pages Manager helps admins connect with their audience and keep up with activity on multiple Pages, all in one place.
Features:
– Post new updates and photos as your Page
– Get notified about new activity on your Page when it happens, no matter where you are
– Respond, post and comment as your Page while you’re on-the-go
– Manage all your Facebook Pages from one app
– View your latest Page InsightsJust install Pages Manager and then log in using Facebook to quickly access and manage all of your Pages from wherever you are.
Unfortunately, the new app is only available on the iPhone.
Facebook’s official iOS app doesn’t let you manage Pages, so the Pages Manager app fills that need. One glaring omission from the app is the ability to check Page messages. Facebook will hopefully fix bugs and add more functionality in the next update. You can get Facebook Pages Manager for free in the App Store.
Update: Readers are saying that the app is showing up in the App Store, but you can’t actually download it at this time. Facebook seems to have pulled it again right after going live. Check back for updates.

The link in iTunes isn’t working to download. Did they pull the app?
“This item is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”
Just downloaded the app, it’s great :)
You’re killin’ me Facebook.
Pulled! “No longer available for download” and how about FB update their shitty FB app too? It’s been forever and it’s always sucked.
Update: I was able to download the app on my iPhone few minutes ago. From iTunes, it’s still not working.
I was able to download it fine at 8:40PM Central time on Monday evening. Did it from iTunes on my Windows desktop.
Downloaded from the App store on my iPhone 3gs and it’s working fine so far.
They need to just combine all three of their apps into one… I don’t really like the idea of having multiple apps for Facebook…
I used to love Facebook, but the app for iPhone is absolutely pathetic and does anyone notice that Facebook has becoome less active lately? It seems like my wall is really slow lately, but then again maybe it’s the app not dating correctly.
