Facebook Messenger Soars to Top Free iPhone App

So far it seems Facebook’s Messenger app is a hit. After launching just Tuesday afternoon, it’s already the number-one free app in the iTunes App Store.

The iOS app has more than 600 customer reviews and with 900 ratings has 3.5 of five stars.

The app has the potential to chip away at the hold of cell carriers. It allows users to send messages and texts through the 750-million-member social network, and it updates in real time, so there’s no need to refresh to see if you’ve received new messages.

“This is replacing text messages in my dock!” one iOS reviewer wrote.

The negative reviews in both the App Store and the Android Market are mostly critical of Facebook now having two apps (though the company told Mashable it does plan to integrate the new message functionality into the main app) and of the fact that Messenger isn’t an instant message app.

Have you tried either the Android or iOS app yet? Could you see it replacing text messages?

Anyways, I took the liberty of taking a short video ...Check it out and don't forget to share your thoughts and experience below.
