"Line" App Reviews


So what's "Line"?  It is an awesome communication app developed by NAVER Japan that allows you to send Emoji and cute stickers to your friends.  The app is a huge hit in Asian countries, but it is not yet a big deal in America. 
Anyway, with this app you can do things like this:


Isn't that just adorable?  The app comes pre-packed with many different cute stickers that allows you to communicate with your friends without words.  The app is prepared for all different situations that you can guaranteed to have full conversations just by the stickers.  The app also comes with free stickers for you to download right away.  I don't know why they gave you the option if it's free anyway.  

The app also features a little social network function that allows you to post your statues for your Line friends to see.  The app claims that it allows users to communicate each others with free calls.  However, I don't seem to able to find that function in the app.  I guess it might be a function that only works in Asian countries.

Anyway, I have an iPad and a Windows Phone, so I try out both.  The two versions are VERY DIFFERENT.  The iPad version is a lot better than the Windows Phone.  It allows you to log into your Line through Facebook, and it also allows you to better manage your Line account.  Also, it offers you selections of awesome stickers that you can, buy the Windows Phone version does not have.  Not to mention that it has A LOT better, and friendly interface.  

Sadly since this is a communication app, I have to use the infuriated Windows app as my primary account.  Also, since not a lot of people are using Line app yet it is kind of disappointed to use now.  Maybe in a couple of months of persuading my friends, this app can become our main source of communication.

The app is free!  So if you guys are interested, go get it right now!

My score: Windows version: 6.5/10
                 iPad/iPhone version: 8.8/10
