FB Pages Manager for Windows Phone receives massive update

FB Pages Manager for Windows Phone essentially helps you stay on top of administrating your Facebook pages (hence the name). The app sports numerous features that are absent from the official Facebook app and is a must-have should you regularly interact with your Facebook page(s) on a daily basis. The app has recently been bumped to version 1.5 and we're looking at a sizeable update with a strong list of new features, joined by fixes and alterations.

So what exactly is included in version 1.5? According to the official changelog, you'll be able to enjoy the following after updating:

  • Uservoice link
  • Ability to send feedback via facebook message
  • App is now WP8 native
  • In app purchases (lite only)
  • Post likes

That's quite the update, especially being upgraded to take full advantage of Windows Phone 8, as well as providing a means to use IAP (in-app purchasing) for extras in the lite version of FB Pages Manager. We're certain those of you who use this app to manage said pages will enjoy what's included in the above list, particularly message notifications and the option to manually add a link to a post.
