Vine 2.5.0
Intuitive interface make for browsing easily
Speed is one of the main characteristics of Vine app. The interface is similar to that of the website, with all the tools you need neatly arranged in the menu. There are no themes, only many settings for you to customize your account.
You can add a description, your residing city, change the color of your profile provide an email or phone number. In addition, you can set your posts to be private, allowing only people you approve to see them.
When it comes to privacy, Vine seems a bit intrusive. The app reads all the data on your Twitter and Facebook accounts and automatically searches for your friends in the network. Vine also uploads and stores all your contacts, but you can change that from the menu.
Like, share, comment on vines and post your own short videos
Because it's a social network, Vine comes with the main features for liking, commenting or sharing posts on other networks. Each post comes with a loop count, which basically calculates how many times a video was played in Vine, Twitter or on the web.
This algorithm is used for tracking the most popular vines and featuring them in the trending section. You can also check out editor's picks or posts with hashtags. All posts are divided into categories, to make it easier to find content that interests you the most.
It's also extremely easy to record videos and upload them on Vine. However, there aren't many editing tools for recording videos and the app doesn't come with instructions.
