Social Media Connection 1.4.2
Social Media Connection is a neat application that helps you stay connected to all of your accounts, without having to install a separate application for each of the network. This will save you resources and space on your device, but you will only be using the desktop version and you won't get notifications.
Intuitive but dated interface that needs an upgrade
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient considering that many people like to have some tips when they launch a new app. But Social Media Connection doesn't come with any tips, although it could use some instructions.
It doesn't use material design even if it would have been nice, since it's a common layout that many users are accustomed to. It's missing a settings menu, meaning users won't be able to make any changes to the UI or the app's functions.
Connect to multiple accounts
The app displays a whole list of social networks that you can connect to, simply choose the one that you would like to open. You'll only be able to view the desktop version, but that also means that you can register with an account on networks where you don't have one.
The app displays a whole list of 45 connections, including Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Mail, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and more. Unfortunately, the icons are a bit stretched, which means that the app would need an upgrade to the interface.
Some flaws
There's an overflow icon on the right corner of the screen but unfortunately, the app doesn't come with any settings. It doesn't have any trouble with opening social networks, so your experience inside the app should be seamless.
Still, it should have a feature for locking access inside the app, considering that users would stay logged inside their accounts. However, you can use other apps to lock Social Media Connection and make sure your information is safe. It comes with some banner ads which may become annoying, but it doesn't offer the option of removing them with an upgrade.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The interface surely needs an upgrade, icons on the home screen are stretched and in poor quality. |
Function7
It doesn't take long to open pages and it lets you navigate seamlessly, but it could use some settings and more features. |
Security8
It doesn't need access to many areas of your phone meaning that the app shouldn't pose any privacy issues but it does need a feature for locking access. |
Battery1
Consumption is really high, it's definitely a battery drainer and it might actually be a better idea to install separate social networking apps. |
Price8
It's free but it has annoying banner ads and no option of removing them. |
Compatibility8
The app should work on devices running Android version 2.2 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
It needs more features and improvements.
