Hands On With Vine for Android

If you happen to be an Android user and you've been reeling to produce six second video masterpieces alongside your iPhone toting friends with Twitter’s Vine app, today is the lucky day. The company has announced that it is explosively popular video sharing app is finally readily available for Android smartphones in the Google Play Store. The applying will require Android app 4.0.0 or more. Twitter says Vine has reached 13 million active users because the application launched in January and wishes to boost that number with Android’s massive users list.

The application is missing several features that would make it a parallel offering to the iOS counterpart. Users won’t be able to use their front-facing cameras, look for specific videos or hashtags, Facebook share, or receive mentions. The Android offering does feature zoom, that is a feature that iOS users haven't yet experience. Twitter says they’re focusing on new features to add to the app which will “only exist on the Android platform” automatically.

Hands On
We’ve tried out the app to live in on our Galaxy S4 review unit. To date, the app is fluid and responsive so when comparing timeline scrolling to the iOS counterpart, we’ve discovered that the Android version can in fact run smoother at times. The app was created in Android’s new Holo format make it possible for sliding between various servings of the app: Feed, Activity, Explore, and Profile. The Holo slide seems much more intuitive than iOS’s “click-and-drop” menu bar. Recording functions exactly the same was as iOS, but we discovered that video processing takes a lot more than it would on an iPhone or iPad.

Overall, Vine for Android is a fairly experience that the development team will work on and make better. If you’re dying to obtain the latest social crazy, now's your chance and we wouldn’t recommend against it.
