Installing facebook on a Smart Ultra 6

I have recently tried to install Facebook for the first time  on my Smart Ultra 6, but every time I try, I get a -505, which professor internet tells me usually due to

• It is mostly seen when you try to install an outdated version of the app.
• Error 505 can be caused due to the incompatibility of the app with your Android OS version.
• It can also arise due to cache conflict or data crash of the app.
• Error 505 may also arise due to Google Account Sync Problem.

I've tried removing accounts, clearing various caches, data and accounts as advised, rebooting.  Everything short of factory reset - which FB isn't worth the bother for me (and I am suspicious that won't fix it).  I'm running 5.1.1 and nothing else has ever given me trouble...

Do other people have FB app running ok on their SU6?

I would have hoped this would have been sorted by now. 

Appreciate you say Live isn't available via accessing Fb by your browser URL but at least you'll be able to access Fb that way.

So today I upgraded my phone to Marshmallow.  Apps disappeared and when I tried to reinstall I got the dread -505 error all over the shop.   Apps kept announcing that they had stopped etc.  So it was finally time to do a factory reset.

Now Facebook installs.  Haven't decided if I want to run it yet
