Final Thoughts
The Pinviewer Facebook App is certainly a great way to view images, posts and videos on Facebook as on Pinterest.You will most certainly like it. But one thing that could have been very awesome about it is if it could have been possible to make it the default facebook view. I reached out to the folks behind the app and they said that Facebook does not allow it. How sad! That means anytime you want to use the app you have to click its link on your homepage, or use this direct link.
