Foundbite 1.6.7.0

Store and share memories captured as photos, with original sound or a recorded description
Remembering places we visited, people we met during our travels or simply sharing a piece of nature is very easy to do nowadays. All you have to do is take a picture and upload it to your account on the social services you subscribed to, so that everyone can see it.

For those who want to take this one step further, Foundbite provides a good alternative as it brings together image and sound to help you breathe life into any portrait, landscape or other type of photo you take with a Windows Phone.

Friendly GUI that offers a fluent navigation through the pic stream

The application comes with a simple interface, focused on practicality, which makes it a breeze to explore and use. Browsing the image feed or exploring the world map to find pictures uploaded by users worldwide can be done with no efforts.

Should you want to create a Foundbite of your own, the camera button is at the bottom of the screen and you can activate the sound recording as soon as the snapshot is taken, thanks to the convenient placement of the controls.

Discover new places and make new friends

Offering instant access to all the Foundbites posted by users all across the globe, the app provides an original and quite nice way of finding out about interesting places, people and events.

The built-in world map will require refreshing ever so often in order to view the posts of all users. Alternately, you can try the on-board search to locate friends from the social networks you are using and then follow them on Foundbites as well.

Hits & Misses

hits

  • allows users to share photos alongside relevant sounds recorded on the spot

  • doesn't come with a live tile
Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The layout of the application is rather nice and easy to use, with all the features at hand. The only thing it appears to need at this time to make it even more appealing to Windows Phone users is a live tile.

Function8
 

Taking pictures and recording the sound to link with that photo works seamlessly and the Foundbites are uploaded momentarily and become available in the main feed on the spot. The ability to view posts from other users through the world map is another plus for this app.

Security9
 

Foundbite has to have access to your location and it requires the phone identity as well, but other than that, users can experience the application perfectly safely.

Battery6
 

Not the most battery-consuming app in the Store, this utility still takes its toll as it puts the resources to work when refreshing the feed, navigating through the world map or capturing images and recording audio.

Price9
 

The feature set it offers free of cost is very good and should satisfy the needs of most users. Those who want to add up to 5 minutes of sound recording to each pic and upload full quality photos have at their disposal a subscription program.

Compatibility8
 

To make the most of this app, a Windows Phone 8 or more recent is required, with a WVGA (480x800) minimum screen resolution. Access to the handsets's camera, microphone, maps and photo library is also on the requirements list.
