6sec 2.4.3.0
Those who want to record short clips and make them available to the whole world as Vines can use one of the dedicated apps made just for this purpose. For Windows Phone users one of the best choices can be a tool called 6sec.
Uncomplicated and easy to use GUI
This application comes with a smooth layout that offers a clean look, with carefully designed graphics. The content is structured in an organized manner, so as to make it easy to browse and view.
Browsing the long lists of Vine videos and switching the various sections and menus of the app is done with the utmost ease, without any delays.
The ever-present advertisements that appear in some areas of the app can be quiet bothersome since they are continuously changing and require a purchase to eliminate. Also, there are some occasional prompts to rate the app that can be dismissed and deactivated with a single tap.
Capture and upload Vines on the fly
6sec is well equipped to provide the necessary means for recording the short videos in the best conditions, depending on the phone camera quality. The app is able to use the rear or the front camera and has a manual focus adjustment option at hand.
Once the filming is done, you can preview the Vine, cut the final part of necessary and then simply upload it. You should note, though, that in order to transfer unlimited files you will have to make another purchase, as you only have one try at the service by default.
Explore Vines, share and save them with ease
The built-in search engine makes it possible to easily find users and lookup hashtags, while if you feel like spending some time looking at various Vine posts there is a dedicated section for discovering all sorts of clips. The Vines are structured into several categories, so you can make your pick on the spot.
Should you care to show your friends some clips you liked, you can share them via Twitter, Facebook, email or SMS. Uploading the videos to your personal account is also an option and OneDrive and Dropbox (via CloudSix) are supported.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The tidy looks of the app and the fluent navigation are some of the advantages it has from the visual perspective, but the ads and prompts can take away some of the good feel. |
Function9
This utility provides all the features one would need to fully enjoy Vine by uploading and sharing videos with everyone. |
Security7
The application needs to tap into numerous areas of the system, some of which are not related to the actual functionality. |
Battery4
The power consumption is more than noticeable, as the battery will discharge at an accelerated rate with every Vine opened or uploaded. |
Price8
Having to make two distinct purchases to completely unlock he app and get rid of ads may seem a bit confusing to some users and the limited trial is barely enough to allow them to make a decision in this respect. |
Compatibility8
The more recent handsets that are running on Windows Phone 8 or above can have this app up and running without any issues. |
A decent alternative to the official app
