A bubble that shows notifications and when tapped, opens a sidebar that gives you access to Facebook. The app is called Bubble for Facebook. It opens a sidebar style activity which doesn’t take over as a full-screen.

When it comes to the world of apps, as you might already know, it’s not as rosy as it appears. Some of the apps do their designated work brilliantly, while a few others do a ‘tad‘ more than that.
