Qubical™ is a visual, spatially-oriented way to keep track of your friends posts and photos on Facebook®. Qubical is a Universal iPhone®, iPod touch®, and iPad® client app (from Aleryon) for Facebook that presents your friends and their photo albums on interactive 3D cubes.
Qubical Video Demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV4ELGgVPsI. Search for "Qubical" on YouTube.
Your Qubical friend and photo album cubes can be:
- dragged/flicked to rotate
- pinched/unpinched to zoom
- single-tapped to highlight a friend
- double-tapped to go to a friends Facebook Wall and photo albums, or view an album cube photo
Qubical is an efficient, pictorial way to find your friends, look up their Wall information and photo albums, and send them posts and comments.
Qubical is a product of Aleryon, not Facebook.
● First Login
The first time you connect to Facebook, Qubical will download the profile pictures for all of your friends. (If you have a large number of friends, this first login is best performed on a high speed connection.) If you need to exit from Qubical while the initial download is occurring, Qubical will simply resume the downloads where it left off the next time its started.
While Qubical is downloading your friends profile pictures, you can go to your own Live Feed or Wall, and once a friends picture is on your cube, you can go to their Wall and see mutual friends and your friends photo album cubes.
On your first login, you will also be prompted to grant Qubical permissions that allow access to your Wall and your friends Wall and photos.
● Profile Picture Cubes
Your friends are sorted by first name on the profile picture cube. If you have a large number of friends, your friend list is broken into multiple cubes.
On the iPhone and iPod touch, the limit is 150 friends per cube, or a 5 x 5 grid on each cube side. On the iPad, the limit is 216 friends per cube, a 6 x 6 grid on each cube side.
● Cube Actions
The following actions are available on the main Qubical screen, and some on the photo album cube screen:
Single-tap: highlight your friend and see their full name.
Double-tap: access your friends Wall, mutual friends, and photo album cubes. For photo album cubes, double-tapping shows the tapped photo fullscreen.
Cube buttons: Rotate, Reset Cube, Main Menu, Profile, Live Feed, Search, Close
● Posting to Facebook
From Qubical, you can submit Facebook status updates, post messages on your friends Walls, and send comments for posts and photos.
● Facebook Permissions
In order to fully utilize Qubical, you need to grant Qubical access to information that you have made available to your friends on Facebook, and that your friends have made available to you. This information includes reading posts and comments and access to photo albums. No private information on Facebook for either you or your friends can be accessed by Qubical, even when these permissions are granted.
Popups from facebook.com will request these permissions the first time you connect to Facebook from Qubical. If you decide to not grant certain permissions on your first login, just select "Reload Cube" from the main Qubical menu to be prompted to grant the permissions again, or Logout and then back in.
● Privacy Policy
Absolutely no data is collected by Aleryon from Qubical. All data downloaded from Facebook is stored locally on your mobile device within the Qubical app and its associated iTunes® backup, and is not transferred to any other location. All Qubical communication with Facebook is performed with the official and secure Facebook Connect SDK.
