Good job on the app. I don't see why copying the facebook menu is bad, considering it is a simple and effective way to add tabs which has somehow become a best practice. And as you say it's easily recognizable, so the credit goes to facebook as well.

I agree 100%. But it's not always easy to know where to draw the line. For example copying a menu pattern is fine, but copying an icon might not be… unless the icon becomes a standard itself. So it can be tricky.
Absolutely fantastic design/UX on the blog as well.
thanks!
