"Twitter's free social media video app Vine is now on Android (http://news.dice.com/2013/06/03/vine-launches-android-app/). But while the app rocked on the iOS platform (http://goopply.com/2013/04/19/twitters-vine-app-hits-the-1-free-app-on-ios-appstore/), especiallyamong teens (http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/10/facebook-still-reigns-supreme-with-teens-but-social-media-interest-dwindling/), its move to Android has...dare I say...been a bit of a tangled mess. It launched on Google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.vine.android) without the capability for the two apps to sync, nor does it have such features as front-facing camera, search, mentions and hashtags. Another biggie is it doesn't yet allow users to post their six-second videos to Facebook. Vine says it's working on these features (http://vine.co/blog) and all should be good soon. For now, however, a swing on the vine may not be a robust experience."
