It is annoying that facebook login is required.

The option to log in without requiring FB would be nice.

It's funny that they want you to log in via Facebook.

This sounds awesome. Unfortunately I don't want to login with my Facebook account.

"Login with your facebook account"Yeah. That's not going to happen.

It shouldn't require a Facebook account.

another facebook-only login... seriously guys, enough of this.

Facebook login is no longer a requirement.

Is it possible to use it these days without Facebook account.

well, considering it was written by facebook, i'm guessing there won't be a non-facebook login option.
