WeChat review
WeChat is a social network messaging app made by Tencent Inc. for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Its main feature is its walkie talkie style talking. Basically, you hold down a button to record a voice messages which can be sent back and forward inbetween friends. WeChat offers its services with speed and reliability. Messages are sent and uploaded in seconds, permitting you to have a utter conversation with little delay. The recorded messages come out crisp, clean, and effortless to hear. Ordinary enough, but WeChat is far more ambitious than just a messaging program, and offers some joy social networking features as well.
Signing up and adding friends is amazingly effortless with a number of different options. You can quickly sign up for an account from scrape or link accounts with your Facebook. Going the Facebook route has the nice perk of displaying you all your friends who have also installed WeChat. If you’re standing close by to a friend you can jiggle phones together to exchange info. You also have the option of sharing ID’s or scanning QR codes.
Can you imagine if we had this app (or wise phones at all for that matter) when we were little kids? Playing cops vs. robbers, ninjas vs. pirates, Israel vs. Palestine, or whatever other binary opposition floats your boat could have truly been taken to the next level with some sweet digital walkie-talkies. I can just imagine: “The cops are on our tail take cover!”, “Arrrr, these ninja naves keep deflecting me bullets!”, “They’re expanding their settlements, prepare retaliation!”. Ah, the innocence of youth.
The ‘Social’ section of WeChat offers its own set of potential joy. There is a ‘Moments’ section, which is basically a photo album, and can be synced to Twitter. You can also ‘Look Around’ to search for people by gender and region. Lastly ‘Drift Bottle’ lets you send out a message to the deep blue sea of the internet and hopefully await a reply which would no doubt lead to fresh adventures, mishaps, and general tomfoolery.
The success of social networking features are breathtaking dependent on the size of its user base, and WeChat doesn’t seem to be taking over the social networking scene anytime soon. Regardless, it has some cool features and is a solid talking app, well worth it for the low, low price of zero dollars.
