- Unlike other webapps, this app includes advanced actions specific for Facebook
- Adjustable zoom factor
- Qt Quick Controls 2 style support such as Material (default) and Suru

****** Bottom Edge ******
- Bottom edge gestures make it easy to navigate and perform actions within the app. Discover them yourself!

****** Alert Indicators and Push Notification ******

- Notified via push notification!
NOTE: You have to enable "Prevent app suspension" in UT Tweak tool for push notification to work.
