I just downloaded the Facebook app onto my iPod, but it won't log me in.

Question

I just inherited an iPod 4 from my sister. She removed all her settings (and apparently most of her apps, only a MoonPig remained) and her accounts and stuff. She used to have the Facebook app, and it worked fine for her. I redownloaded it, and when I typed in my password, it, as per my user settings, told me to expect an SMS with a security code. I did indeed get that text, and I put it in. It spends aaaaages loading, and then either just keeps loading or goes briefly past the log in page, but after just showing the 'menu bar' of the app (basically the blue thing with the buttons on the top, which allows you tu update the status) very briefly, before any content is shown, it just goes right back to the log in page. I've synced my iPod to iTunes on my laptop, and set up my Apple account (obvs, or I wouldn't have been able to get any apps). Can someone please tell me why it won't let me in? It apparently accepts me logging in fine, because I got an email telling me that a security passcode has been entered and someone has logged into my Fb using an iPod (i.e. me). But it won't let me actually use the app. I've redownloaded many times, restarted my iPod, still doesn't work. Quick help would be much appreciated.
P.s. I also downloaded the seperate Facebook Messenger, and that works fine.

Some really should have thought about how confusing that name would be!
