Although a number of social networks have introduced scaled-down apps for the Apple Watch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/), the biggest holdout thus far has been Facebook. Thanks to a third party app called "Littlebook," Facebook users will **w be able to browse their news feeds right from Apple's wearable device (via The Next Web (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2016/05/06/littlebook-facebook-apple-watch-app/)).

In addition to basic browsing, Littlebook lets users interact with posts by tapping to like things, and even includes full in-line photos and videos in the news feed. An offline mode lets users save articles to read later, and the app allows for transferring over to the iPhone with Handoff support, if the small size of the Apple Watch isn't e**ugh for lengthy reads. There's also a voice dictation feature that can be used to post full status updates to your friends and family.
Reto Stuber, Littlebook's developer, does remind potential users that the app has its limitations due to the platform, including the fact that posts on the feed are limited to preview samples with ** "read more" option, sharing and reactions are **t yet supported, and YouTube videos won't work since playback is only supported by embedded Facebook videos at launch. Still, the developer promised that he tried his "best to recreate the Facebook-App experience," and Littlebook will continue to be supported with updates in the future.
Littlebook (http://appshopper.com/social-networking/littlebook-for-facebook-on-watch) can be downloaded from the App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/app-store/) for $2.99. [Direct Link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/littlebook-for-facebook-on/id1104655318?mt=8)]
