I notice there are now new Android apps as well. These no longer pay any attention to the orientation (e.g. portrait vs landscape) of the device. OK on my phone (I don't read it sideways) but bad on my tablet.

Any chance of fixing that? Or should I just use the web site?

Also - site responsiveness has been beyond awful of late. I understand FB has been down. Is the sudden surge of traffic from sad/frustrated FBers the issue?
