Facebook asked to change Paper name
Facebook's Paper app aims to show newsfeeds in a new way Continue reading the main story Facebook has been asked to change the name of its new app Paper by a firm which has an app of the same name. The original Paper was developed by start-up FiftyThree and won Apple's 2012 iPad app of the year. It allows people to sketch on their iPad and has garnered 100 million users. Facebook's Paper is designed as an alternative way to read newsfeeds. The social network has not commented on the request to alter the name. Facebook's Paper had largely positive reviews when it was released on Apple's iTunes store on 3 February, with some saying it was better than the Facebook app. It provides both human and algorithm-generated articles and photos in a range of categories. It is currently only officially available in the US.
