Selfy 1.0.6.4
Windows Phone users have something special in store for them, a neat app that is tailored to fit the needs of many by providing a wide range of features in a single package. It's simply called Selfy.
Smooth graphics and well structured layout
This utility greets you with a pretty nice looking GUI, where the carefully drawn elements of design are put together in a quite practical and easy to use form.
The content is structured into several categories, which should make it easier for you to find the sections or functions you need for carrying out various actions.
The commands are also at hand, but there is a noticeable letdown from the visual perspective, more precisely the significant delay in updating the content from certain areas, especially in the "Discover" section.
Selfie editing and quick sharing
With Selfy you can instantly snap a new shot or use a saved photo and modify it before publishing it online. Of course you have to create an account for that, but that is a task that will take you a minute at most, as the sign up procedure is extremely simple.
After cropping the selected pic, as you are prompted by the app, it's time to apply a cool filter from the two dozen effects brought by this utility and, optionally, rotate the image as you see fit.
The impressive filters can make quite a difference, as you will notice from the nice preview that is at your disposal. As soon as this job is done, the pic is ready for uploading on your public account and if you choose to share your profile on Facebook, everyone can enjoy your fresh selfies.
Discover new people on the go
This app is ready to help you make new friends in a pretty simple manner, as it features a search engine you can use to find other users. The aforementioned "Discover" section will show you the latest people who joined the community, the most recently published selfies and hashtags.
There is a catch to this, though, because if you try to access this area right after installing the application, without having at least a person to follow, Selfy will crash every time, so make sure you add someone to your following list to fully benefit from all the functions.
There is one more neat feature you can enjoy and it is the dynamic tile you can pin to the Start screen and have your last taken selfie shown there at all times.
Don't forget to like the pictures you like because others will surely return the favor and, who knows, maybe you will become each other's follower and friend on Facebook.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The application comes with an appealing front-end that is also practical and easy to work with, despite the delays in loading the content. |
Function7
Some features are less prepared for prime time, but the selfie editing part, the quick sharing and the people search bits are well worth considering. |
Security9
Selfy doesn't need to pry inside any secure area of the system it runs on, but there is an issue with its privacy policy page, which is currently inaccessible. |
Battery2
While this app is running the battery usage reaches very high levels, so the battery will discharge a lot faster than usual. |
Price10
Everything inside this utility comes completely free of costs or nuisances, so it has an excellent value overall. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users out there will be able to enjoy this application as it runs on any device powered by version 8 or higher of the OS. |
