Official 9gag app is finally here!!!!!

[Localhorst86]

If this one turns out fake too, Microsoft's review process sucks

Oh, they have proven in the past that their review peocess sucks. Take apps like the hacked Subway Surfers that seem to appear regularly on the store, take the case were a bunch of popular apps (like Week View 8), the 1:1 flappy bird clones (that use the same images and the same name and dont forget the candy crush saga fiasko.

edit :- it isn't fake but I will still use Rudy's app :smile:

Thread opened. Post updated with link from WPCentral. (the best source of WP news on the planet. :wink

As others have pointed out, the official app looks like a lazy wrapper for the website. It may still be best to stick with Rudy's app.

This what is awesome about WP.
First wait for app to come on WP
Then it need 1gb RAM
And after that it cost you

WP has everything what you need from from a great smartphone

Waiting for apps
No apps optimization
Cost you even the average quality app which completely free on other OS

At the end I was correct. Though the app ain't that great, it turns out to be the official app. :smile:

 

[khader_moham]

Me too, though I'll stck with Rudy's

no or maybe they will soon update the app and bring metro UI

Exactly, one the app goes paid I'm sure they will bring the metro UI and make it available for 512MB RAM devices.

They must be waiting for new API from Microsoft , hopefully they will update it windows phone 8.1 support.

It does, but at least it displays posts nicely, unlike the 'official' app, that just displays a mobile website in an app.

WP surprises everyone, u r not different.
if u saying in a negative manner, then u must compare iPhone for that. u will be surprised more and more everyday by comparing a droid.

I am comparing WP with Android here( don't know about iOS because never used it and never going to use it )
WP app eco system isn't good.
To be honest it just reverse.

but still not a good app.
and if that Official app isn't as good as Ruby app.
Then what I would say.
Their isn't a single average quality app for 9GAG in WP

really. comparing an ecosystem released in 2008 vs 2010 and saying the 2010 is worse.
Also, the sky is blue, and pee is yellow, Mr. Obvious.
if you hate WP so much, go back to android.
