Vine 2.5.0.0
This particular utility will make it possible for all users to browse the large database and even submit their own vines, which can be created in a couple of moments, using the phone's built-in camera.
Simple and neatly structured front-end
The clean and easy to use interface of Vine provides a seamless experience, as the navigation through the long lists of clips or inside the menus of the application is smooth at all times.
The intuitive organization of the content is also an important asset for this app, which makes it very easy to find the vines you are looking for by using the powerful search feature or by browsing the neatly arranged channels.
View videos posted by other and upload your own on the go
The clips load pretty fast in all sections of this app and the playback is smooth, without glitches, provided that there is a stable Internet connection. Creating your own vines is a very simple job and to make it even simpler, there is an assistant that guides you through all the steps when making your first video.
Vine allows you to share your creations on other social networking websites, more precisely on Twitter and Facebook, so after finishing the clip, you can select the posting options. Also, searching for people or finding vines according to the tags associated to each can be done in a few moments through the search feature.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The appearance of this app is quite nice, even though there are few elements users may call appealing, as the utility focuses a lot on practicality and ease of use rather than good looks. The navigation is smooth and the loading times for the clips are shorter than with the browser version. |
Function8
The basic browsing and searching features are well implemented, while the vine creation module works well and can be used without any problems even by first-timers. Some neat extras are the ability to pin searches to the Start screen and the possibility of automatically sharing the videos on Facebook and Twitter. |
Security8
Vine needs to access phone identity information and, for some reason, it will also require clearance for looking in the contacts' list. Other than that, it remains discreet and doesn't peek into other sensitive areas. |
Battery4
The amount of energy required by this app to run is quite high and when used for a couple of hours the battery will drain almost completely. |
Price10
The application has a lot of value to it because it offers freely all the features it comes with and doesn't bother the user with ads and prompts, so it scores very well in this area. |
Compatibility8
Only the more recent devices that run Windows 8 and higher support this app, so the user base is still growing. The requirements are minimal, as a WVGA screen resolution (480x800 pixels) is enough to have the utility up and running. |
