CNET Editors' review
Face Software is Facebook software. In essence, it's a "free-to-use" desktop app integrating Facebook access with a variety of tracking and activity-monitoring tools. These so-called Spy Tools include spying on your so-called loved ones, tracking crushes, monitoring friends, seeing who has unfriended you, and others. Unfortunately, we couldn't access these interesting features, or some fairly basic ones, for that matter, without buying the premium version of the software. So, while the download is free and the software works, the most interesting and unique features are disabled in this so-called freeware.
We downloaded and installed the free version of Face Software and logged in to Facebook. A left-side control panel let us access Facebook Home, Accounts, Photos Manager, Birthday Stuffs (yup, "stuffs"), Wall Tools, Message Tools, Friends Manager, Relationship Monitor, and Spy Tools. Under Accounts, we found our information, photos, and so on. Face supports multiple Facebook accounts--if you unlock the software by purchasing the full version, that is. We clicked on Photos Manager, which let us download photos all right. But when we tried to upload some, we learned we'd have to unlock the software. The Birthday Stuffs, Wall Tools, Messages Tools, and Friends Manager all seemed to work normally, though they basically just centralize access to various Facebook features. But the Relationships Monitor's Breakup notifier and Mutual crush tool are much more suggestive. These require careful maneuvering, of course, especially the crush tracker. But crushes aren't notified until both appear on each other's crush list. The Spy Tools are among the most interesting features. The Self scanner searches for mentions of you in others' accounts. However, you'll have to buy the full version to spy on other people.
Of course, we're being overly dramatic about the "spy" stuff in Face Software, which doesn't access others' private information and really doesn't do anything you couldn't do yourself the hard way. We wish Face Software had been more upfront about what's free and what's not in its products, but at least you can take a look at what it has to offer in the crowded field of Facebook apps.

"Nice software and am glad someone decided to build it"
Version: Face Software 3.4
Pros
The is a great software and am currently using it to download thousands of albums of all my college friends to make a very big collage for a project am working. This is the only facebook software out there that enables you to automate a lot of thing on facebook that you would have had to to using your browser which can be very time consuming.
I also like knowing what my friends are doing even when am not sitting in front of my computer monitoring the ticker. This software will actually have all activities of your friends that appears in the ticker for you to have a look at.Cons
The wall cleaner needs some new features and update
Summary
I highly recommend this software to anyone who needs to have a lot more done with their facebook account

"Facebook automation is never going to be the same again"
Version: Face Software 3.4
Pros
This software is very intuitive and self explanatory. The graphics user interface makes it easy for any one to follow how the software works. I like the fact that the developers did not use facebook API's making it impossible for the software to have any restrictions from facebook.
It great being able to monitor your account activities and actually see how engages with your profile as time passes in terms of how many comments they've made to your status updates or how many likes the've made to your profile.Cons
They need to find a way of monetizing the facesoftware without charging users directly for the usage
Summary
It is a well thought of software and am looking forward to more features to be added

"Wow, finally found a great facebook software"
Version: Face Software 3.4
Pros
First of all, how did you guys have the idea to build such a wonderful facebook tool?
Anyway i was looking for a solution to help me automatically delete all my past facebook status updates since i believe i had thousands of posts on my timeline. A friend recommended me to checkout facesoftware and am glad i did.
The software is very fast and i do not know how they do it but it really does help you to clean your entire timeline status updates with just a click of a button.Cons
Even though it is very useful, i think the full license should be sold at $9 or less. Or me made a free software all together
Summary
The best facebook software on the market

"The best facebook automation software"
Version: Face Software 3.4
Pros
This is by far the best facebook automation software I've come in contact with. Despite the fact that facebook keeps changing stuff around , facesoftware development team appears to be keeping an eye out and releasing new updates constantly.
I personally like to use this software to monitor activities of my love ones and also automatically downloading some pics of some of my best friends.
The software is also safe to use and am very particular about imputing my facebook info in any software so i actually used a fake account in the beginning and monitored and realized it was safe to use before i used my real facebook accountCons
The fact that i have to pay for this software. I mean it is a great software and all and i think they should rather use adsense to make money instead of charging users to use the software
Summary
The face software is safe to use and i have not found anything wrong with it concerning virus security issues. It makes automating stuffs on facebook a breeze

"Every facebook user needs facesoftware"
Version: Face Software 3.4
Pros
Just like most people am a big fun of facebook and i spend a lot of time on facebook.I've always wanted to do a lot more stuff automcatically and i couldn't find any software until my friend recommended facesoftware to me.
Face software is a very awsome software which allows users to automate everything on facebookbook. Example you can use their wall cleaner to automatically delete all your wall posts or specify a date range and delete everything.
You can also use this software to automatically send birthday wishes to your friends and love ones on their birthdays. One very well thought of feature i like most is the spy tools, this will enable you track and monitor your love ones on facebook and get info and details of what ever they are doing on facebook and who they are interacting withCons
I can't think of any
Summary
The next best thing after facebook is facesoftware.com

Can't find any yet
Summary
If you need t monitor your love ones on facebook i highly recommend you to use face software
