Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The friendly and easy to use layout of the app is attractive and in the same time very practical, so it deserves appreciation in this respect. The smooth navigation and high quality images that are offered throughout add further value to the package. |
Function7
The MSN Food & Drink database is quite rich and offers a nice assortment of cuisine and beverage recipes from all the corners of the world. The extra features for creating personal collections and shopping lists, as well as the possibility to share content with friends also earn it some points. Nonetheless, it could do with more options, like submitting personal recipes to help adding dishes that are currently missing from the database. |
Security7
MSN Food & Drink does well with personal data as it doesn't even send usage statistics (the option is available under the "Settings" menu and is disabled by default). However, for some reason the app requires access to the phone dialer, as well as the phone and user identities. |
Battery8
The impact on system resources is moderate to low, as it only uses the WiFi connection to retrieve from the Internet news articles, recipes and other information that contains text and images. |
Price9
A very good deal in terms of value, MSN Food & Drink is a worthy app that provides at no costs a large amount of information, without flashing ads or annoying prompts. |
Compatibility8
Suitable only for the more recent handsets, Windows Phone 8 and above, the app needs few resources to run properly and any of the standard screen resolutions (720x1280, 480x800, 768x1280) are just fine for it. |
