theChive 3.0.0.0
Windows Phone users can enjoy the hugely popular theChive collection of funny images and clips through a dedicated client that can be installed in a jiffy onto their handsets.
Nice interface with a practical layout
The application comes with a cool looking GUI that features a well thought arrangement of the main categories and of the subsequent subcategories that contain all the multimedia content featured on theChive.
Browsing through the pics is quite fluent, even if the images may take a few seconds to load. Zooming in the photos is possible and it also has a small delay, especially in the case of high resolution images. Unfortunately the ads have no lags in loading and will come everywhere with you inside the app.
Enjoy a comprehensive collection of pictures and videos at your fingertips
theChive comes equipped with a search engine you can put to good use when looking for specific content and you don't feel like going through the numerous sections. If you want to go to the online page where certain pics are hosted, you can use the dedicated option from the main menu of the app.
Adding the most amusing images to your personal collection can be done with a tap on the "favorite" button, while saving the pics also take one tap from the same menu. This utility is prepared for sharing content via email and through social networks as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The neat layout of the application and the nice graphics are quite appropriate and only the pesky advertisements and sight delays in loading the content take away some of the good feel of the whole experience. |
Function9
Well prepared to offer quick access to all the files in store on theChive by using its relevant categories, this utility also features a built-in search engine, as well as several ways of sharing the hilarious content found online. |
Security8
The application needs access to some sensitive areas of the system for good reason, mainly when sharing content, but also to a couple of places it doesn't need to look into. |
Battery8
A decent power consumption characterizes this utility that manages to keep the battery usage at low to moderate levels at all times. |
Price9
The ease of use and the nice array of feature provided free of cost bring a lot of value to this application and only the ads take away some of it. |
Compatibility9
Windows Phone 7.5 and above handsets are able to accommodate this application and it will not need anything else extra to run correctly. |
