KakaoTalk 2.1.1.0
For Windows Phone users there are a few alternatives they can opt for and KakaoTalk is one of them. This app will work seamlessly with its siblings from other mobile platforms like iOS or Android, allowing you to chat and share files on the fly.
Clean and friendly interface
The application offers a tidy look, with some simple yet well designed graphics from end to end. The amusing emoticons and stickers you can use while chatting will surely make the whole experience more fun.
There are a few customizations you can apply to the so-called chat rooms, more precisely you can pick a different color for the background or assign as wallpaper a picture stored onto the device or one taken on the spot.
Basic chat options with file sharing abilities
KakaoTalk is all about simple communication, so the Windows Phone version focuses on text chat and lacks, for instance, the call features of the other platforms.
Nonetheless, the application supports sending multimedia messages, so you will be able to exchange photos, videos and voice notes with your peers. It even provides a feature for drawing onto a blank canvas and then sharing that doodle with one tap.
Keep the app protected and manage friends with ease
A neat feature of this utility is the ability to create a 4-digit passcode that will be required each time the application is opened. This way, no one but you will have access to the saved chats or contacts listed inside.
The app will also offer a simple method of creating a friends list as it automatically scans the contacts on your phone and adds those who have KakaoTalk installed onto their mobile devices.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The looks of this utility are decent, with a bit of customizations available for the chat area, but still quite common and without any elements of graphical design that would stand out. |
Function7
The group chat, multimedia sharing and the loads of funny stickers brought by KakaoTalk are its main advantages, but compared to other similar apps, it lacks a lot of features like voice calls or sound notifications. |
Security9
The app will have to look into many secure areas of the system, but for the majority of them it has a good reason to do so, given its functional characteristics. |
Battery6
The power consumption for this application is quite high at all times and this means the battery usage is very much noticeable. |
Price9
A decent chat tool that also supports sending voice messages, photos and videos, KakaoTalk has a good value overall, especially since it offers everything free of costs and nuisances. |
Compatibility9
Ready to serve most Windows Phone users out there, the utility only needs version 7.5 or higher of the OS to function correctly. |
