App of the Week - WhatsApp

Today I like to present you another communication app called WhatsApp. I'm pretty sure some of you already know this app, but maybe didn't know that it also exist for Windows Phone 7.

So what can you do with this app. WhatsApp is a free messenger working on all important mobile platforms such as iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and enables you to send messages to all your friends using this app for no costs. This means, if your friends have this app, you can write them messages without paying for SMS.

But this app can more than just send text messages! You're also able to send pictures, audio notes, video messages, your current location and contacts out of your WhatsApp contact list.

Another positive point is the continuous improvement of the app. There are so many users for this app that you get regular updates and new features. So also if it's already a nice app it will get even better...

My conclusion: This is a really cool app. You can do a lot of things and it's for free! The only negative point i recognized is that if the app is runnig in background the vibration doesn't work for new received messages. But anyway, I really like it :)

For more information visit the official site, where you also find the link to download this app. If you wish to install it directly over Zune software (phone connected to your PC by cable) you can just do it here.

Hope you will have fun with this really useful app!

Kind regards,
