I HIGHLY recommend no one else use this site without more followup from the developer

I don't like this. Not for what it claims to do, but because it doesn't clearly say what it does do.

"Facebook Unlike". I get that, good name. When I go to the site, I understand I have to sign in with Facebook. That's fine.

Problems:

1) Why does your app require permission to write to my page? You only need permissions to read all the pages that I have liked, nothing more.

2) It is not clear where these FB pages are coming from. I am presented with a handful of FB pages. Now some of them I have Liked and will continue to do so like Photopic Sky Survey. But I am also presented with things like "omg! from Yahoo" and "omg! Insider", but of which I have never and would never like.

3) The term "Unlike" indicates there should be buttons or toggles called "Unlike". At a minimum, hitting "Like" on something I've already clicked should "unlike" it. However, I'm seeing a mix of pages that I definitely have liked and other ones like "omg!" that I did not like. The "Like" button is available on this. If I hit that, am I liking or unliking that page? Its a visual double negative.

4) Once you hit Like, there's no way toggle the button state again. It just turns to Like and stays there.
