VK

VK is a social networking app that helps connect users with artists, musicians, and each other for free!

You can send your friends messages, share pictures and files, watch and swap videos, share entire albums and more, all on VK.

VK is originally a Russian alternative to Facebook; if you’re planning on traveling to, living, or working in Russia, it’s a must to have this on your phone. It’ll allow you to join different communities, play games with friends and strangers, and discover all the different and interesting subcultures at your fingertips here.

There are a few issues you should be aware of before you download. First, your saved photos aren’t visible to all users so you may not be able to share them. Second, the auto-translation tool doesn’t always work. Third, many users have reported that while viewing videos their phones freeze and they have to restart.

On the whole, VK is a great social networking app that helps you keep in contact with old friends and find new ones. Keep in mind that this is a Russian app, so you may need to rely on the translator at times.

Pros

• Find and Explore Thousands of Unique Communities You can find and explore thousands of unique communities, artists, bands and others – all for free!
• Play Games, Share Files, and Meet New People You can play games on VK, share files like videos, pictures, and music – but most importantly you can meet new people!

Cons

• The Translator Doesn’t Always Work And since many users on this app are Russian native speakers, this can be a bit of a problem.
• Lots of Ads Sometimes the ads can be so intrusive that they slow down the app.

• We now have two separate buttons for Record call and Start streaming. Call recordings are sent to a chat automatically created for your video call.

• Reminders for scheduled calls are now available. You can set them when creating a call and get notified 15 minutes before the call starts. If you add the call to Outlook or another calendar, you’ll get a notification there as well.
