FB Pages Manager receives a giant update


The popular Windows Phone app we know and love, FB Pages Manager, is set to receive a major overhaul, updating to version 1.5, bringing with it some sweeping changes, including bug fixes and a new set of features.


                                 


In case you've missed the train completely, FB Pages Manager is chosen by Microsoft as the best alternative to Facebook Pages Manager and also among other FB Pages Manager apps in Windows Phone Store. It is the most popular Facebook Pages Manager app with more than 23000 active users and more than 45000 downloads.

So what do we get to see in v1.5?

*Message inbox now provided
*You can now toggle on and off the cover photo of your page

*Images are now displayed in landscape mode too

There have been some changes to the UI of the app, with the square tiles blending beautifully with the rest of the system. Also, some performance improvements have been noted.

The app usually costs Rs. 120, but is right now on sale at Rs. 80. Grab it soon, and enjoy the updates, set to arrive in couple of days.
