Kik Messenger 2.1.0.0
Since it is a cross-platform solution, users can stay in touch with their friends regardless of the mobile device they use. There are even more advantages in the favor of this utility, as millions of users all over the world already discovered.
Simple and tidy interface
The nice and friendly appearance of this app makes using it a breeze and the seamless navigation you will experience inside the chat area or when browsing the application's menus should convince you.
The visual customizations are scarce, with only the chat bubble color being ready for modifications, so Kik messenger should do with a bit of improvements in this area, like the inclusion of customizable themes and backgrounds.
Get in touch with friends and start conversations on the go
After creating your account, finding friends connected to Kik is a simple job, as you can search for people or add them manually, provided you know their IDs. Another way of filing the contacts list is to allow this app to access your address book and see which of those listed in there are already using this service.
The behavior when new messages arrive can be set to your personal liking by activating or disabling vibration, sound and preview notifications. Also, should you have any privacy related worries concerning some users, you can add them to the block list.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The simple GUI of this app works well enough to its advantage, as it is very easy to handle and pleasant to look upon, even if some interface customizations would be certainly appreciated. |
Function8
The messaging client delivers as expected, providing instant feedback and has the ability to share photos taken on the spot with the on-board camera or already stored onto the phone. |
Security9
Kik Messenger treats personal information with care and doesn't share or make it available for third-parties. Not even the phone number is made public, should the user choose to allow the address book search feature. |
Battery7
During its runtime, the application draws an average amount of power and the consumption remains moderate the whole time. Only the heavy use of the utility for sharing a lot of pictures may have a more visible impact on the battery. |
Price10
An excellent deal by all standards, Kik Messenger doesn't require subscriptions, paid upgrades for extra features or something of the sort. It simply offers all it has freely, at no charge, so it scores top points here. |
Compatibility10
Another great thing about this tool is that all Windows Phone users will be able to enjoy it, as it runs on all handsets with version 7 or above of the OS installed. |
