Vine sure took its sweet time getting to Windows Phone, but after months of empty promises, the popular video-sharing app has finally arrived.
Vine beat Instagram out of the Windows Phone gate, though the platform obviously wasn't top priority for either app. To make up for the slight, Vine added a few features that take advantage of the Windows Phone platform: You can pin Vine accounts to your home screen and pivot between Vine and other apps.
Vine has a slightly different look on Windows Phone, but same basic functionality.
In a hands-on test drive of Vine on an HTC Windows Phone 8X, the app performed pretty much the same as it does on Android and iOS—same basic look, same features. The WP8 version of Vine has tabbed icons on a black menu bar that let you swipe between home, new followers, channels, and your profile. I prefer the sea green of Vine's iOS menu bar, but hey, I'm picky like that.
One nifty Windows Phone feature that iOS and Android don't have is easier access to Vine. The app taps into WP8's lenses capability, which lets you turn on a lens within the Camera app. Just choose Vine from your lens options and you can shoot videos from your Camera without even opening the Vine app.
