6snap 3.2.1
Sharing bits and pieces of our lives with online friends seems to be one of the most common activities and there are plenty of services and utilities that make this possible.
Those who like to stay in touch with friends and share images and clips taken with their phone have at their disposal a varied choice of applications that are meant to facilitate the connection with services like Snapchat and 6snap is one of the clients tailored especially for this purpose.
Clean and simple GUI for ease of use
This utility offers a tidy layout, that has all the functions and commands at hand, so you can access everything with one or two taps at most. There are no customizations for the background or the overall theme, so the simplicity of the interface will have to do for now.
The app opens directly in camera mode, so you will see the live preview in a few split seconds. The transparent menu buttons are a nice touch, as they will not hinder the view, so you can take pictures or record movies without any impediments.
Nonetheless, some flashing ad banners are displayed at the bottom of the screen in both "Snapchat" and "Friends" areas.
Take a snap and share it on the go
6snap can use both on-board cameras (front and back) for capturing videos and photos, with a short tap for images and a long press on the shutter button to record a clip.
Once the content is captured, you will be able to send it to all your friends on the contacts' list, to a select few or make the snap available for 24 hours from your story. The duration for the pictures to be displayed o the recipient's device until the image vanishes can be range between 1 and 10 seconds.
Quick editor for captured content
This application offers a few really nice tools for modifying the snaps, especially the pictures on which you can apply various filters, blur them with custom levels for opacity as well or select a portion of the photo and manually shift the focus there.
Adding text or drawing onto the snaps is also possible, for both images and videos. The brush size and the color used for doodling is customizable as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The simplified appearance of this tool may seem less inspired for many, despite the ease of use and fluent navigation through the menus and lists of friends. The adverts are also a notable letdown. |
Function9
Very well equipped for taking snaps, editing and sharing them, this application also offers some useful notifications and detailed configurations. |
Security8
6snap needs to access a lot of sensitive areas of the system, but most of them are related to the app's functions. |
Battery2
If you need a fairly quick means of discharging the battery, you might have just found one because the power consumption if through the roof for this utility. |
Price9
A very good solution for all Snapchat users, this application provides everything freely, with the exception of the ads that will go away only after a purchase. |
Compatibility8
Tailored for the latest handsets powered by Windpows Phone 8 and above, the app doesn't have any special requirements and will work well on any handset with a standard screen resolution. |
