When Facebook is still reluctant to shift to HTML5 because of bandwidth or processing overheads or whatever the reason may be, there’s an app that would do the work for you. Until now, you couldn’t play Facebook videos through the official Facebook app for iPhone and iPod touch but now with “Facebook video player” you can playback videos on Facebook.

The app integrates itself with the Facebook app so that whenever you tap a video on Facebook, a bar appears on top asking if you want to play the video in the app. Even though it’s not free and costs $1.99 but still it’s a must have!

Here are a few screenshots and video showing the app in action:
