9Gag 2.4.4f
For those who want to have quick access to all the funnies available on this platform while on the go, getting an app for their mobile device could be a good choice. Windows Phone users can try several tools of this kind and 9Gag is one of them.
Well organized front-end for ease of use
The application comes with a simple design, clean and easy to work with, featuring some nice graphics and funny backgrounds inside the main screen. The content is structured in several categories or channels, but they are noticeably fewer than what is shown on the online page.
Moving through the images is fairly fluent and only when swiping really fast will a short delay appear in loading certain pics. The advertisements are present inside most areas of the app and can be quite bothersome as they are constantly changing.
Find funny pics and animations on the go
9Gag enables you to explore the impressive amount of content hosted online in several ways. Thus, you can check out the "Hot", "Trending" and "Fresh" sections right from the main screen or visit the entire list of channels and browse the available categories.
The alternative is to carry out queries with the built-in search engine and input relevant keywords to have related images shown in a few seconds.
Management of personal account and content
This app comes with a set of features that are meant to help you add favorites and check out your uploads, but in order to be able to use them sign in in is mandatory.
Unfortunately, the login fails to work properly at this time, so you are stuck with the basic functions of searching or browsing the images and animations.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The utility has a decent look, with a neat structuring of the content, but there are some drawbacks, like the irritating ad banners shown inside the GUI that make it lose some points. |
Function5
Since many of the features it boasts are non-functional, the application fails to deliver as promised on many accounts and this weighs down on its current value. |
Security4
There are just too many areas of the system in which 9Gag needs to look into, without an evident connection to its actual functionality. |
Battery5
The high power consumption of the app is felt all through its runtime and this translates into a considerable battery usage. |
Price7
For those looking for a quick laugh, this application is pretty good, but users who want more features from a 9gag client will be disappointed. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone handsets are capable of running this app, as it only needs version 7.5 of the operating system to function properly. |
