Re, the question above,
How do you stop FB app’s on the Ipod touch, I’ve blocked, hidden most of the stupid app’s on the face-book main site but this doesn’t transfer or relate to the FB app for the Ipod touch.

Can anyone help as there doesn’t seem to be an option that I can find to block the stupid app’s …
