To say that Facebook's Android app has been ... less than exciting ... would be the understatement of the past year or so. Hopefully tonight's update is a sign of greater things to come, as Version 1.7 brings some UI tweaks and features that frankly should have been added by now. Here's the rundown:

Made it easier to share with who you want

Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site

Added the ability to tag friends and places in photos posts

Added new design for Profile and Group Walls

Improved photo browsing with swiping

Added the ability to tag your friends in photos

Improved Messages and Notifications

Fixed a number of crashes and performance issues

Not mentioned in the bullet points -- these are the official changes mentioned in the Android Market -- is that you can also now pull to refresh. It's about time. And while the app's now installable on Android 3.x devices, let's see about maybe getting a proper tablet layout, shall we?

Snag the updated version in the Android Market now. We've got download links after the break.
