das Image 2.16.1.0
das Image is one of the more popular tools of this kind and it should be to the liking of plenty of users, since it manages to unveil digital pictures from a variety of online services like Instagram, Picasa or Flickr, to name just a few.
Appealing interface with beautiful backgrounds and a practical layout
At first glance, the looks are quite appealing and there is also a clear focus on practicality, as everything is easily reachable, so you can pick a gallery or do a quick search on the spot. The menu navigation is smooth, but oftentimes you will have to be patient for a couple of seconds so das Image can carry out the query and load the pictures.
The ads that appear in the lower side of the screen are somewhat annoying, as users might accidentally click on them when trying to open the menu that contains the commands for managing the loaded photo.
Comprehensive search capabilities and quick downloads
das Image is able to use Bing, Flickr, Picasa, Instagram and 500px as search engines and, more than that, in the 'Galleries' area you will be able to go with FFFFound! as well. Choosing the favorite categories is a breeze since all you have to do is press the folder symbol on the bottom of the screen and then tick the tiles for each collection you are interested in.
The live tiles and safe search options offered by this app will surely be welcomed by all users and the fact that you can set das Image as the lock screen image provider will ensure a noticeable improvement insofar as the visuals of your Windows Phone are concerned. Saving the images onto your phone is a very simple job so you will be able to use them as wallpapers or share them with friends on the spot.
The application provides the possibility to explore user profiles, add pictures as favorites or customize the lock screen. Unfortunately, these features come at a cost and they can be used freely only for a few days or for a couple of times.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The smooth backgrounds on which the image lists are projected are nice, but the white font can be difficult to read on areas with bright lighting. |
Function8
The searches are carried out promptly and the results are accurate. Another plus is the ability to work with several services. |
Security7
das Image needs to access your location in order to function properly and there is no opt-out for this. |
Battery7
The battery usage is pretty high when, loading and viewing lots of images, most of which are in HD if Bing is used preponderantly. |
Price8
For those who want to get some great pics, das Image gives a lot without asking for nothing, except for putting up with the ads. |
Compatibility9
This app is well suited for all those who own a Windows Phone 7.5 or higher. |
