Path 2.1
The social network based on a timeline with a limit of 150 contacts returns to update both for mobiles with operating system Android, as for iPhone This is version 2.1 of Path , where a lot of new features and improvements have been introduced, presumably to clean up the image of this social network following criticism last month, when it was discovered that the application collected and sent the entire contact list to its servers to suggest possible close friends to each user.
News are received on both platforms, however, there are exclusive features and enhancements for both. Among the issues that are common to both versions 2.1 the integration with Nike+ GPS stands out. of an application of the sports brand that records different physical activity data and that can now be shared through Path A rather curious new function has also been incorporated. They have called it Music Match, and it acts as the famous Shazam, identifying and Cataloging the music that plays anywhere. In this way, the user can post what they are listening to even if they don't really know who the artist is or what the song is called.
There are also common improvements in the handling and operation of the application. The new possibilities are noteworthy when it comes to viewing photographs, since, with a simple touch of the screen they become large , being able to see all the details. In addition, notifications have been created to alert the user of the posted music or videos that friends and family are viewingthrough your profile.
As for the improvements received on the platform Android, we must highlight several additions that complete this application and make its handling something intuitive, comfortable and very aesthetic. One of them is the change in the share screen Now this has all the options you may need like add contacts with who is at that moment, the location, or the possibility to share the post on other networks such as Facebook, Twitter,Tuenti and FoursquareAlso added a clock on the home screen marking when posts were shared by those that are passed while traversing the time line or biography. Another useful option is the possibility to download the photos and videos by making a long press on they. Finally, it is worth noting the inclusion of a screen that alerts, very subtly, of the possibility of finding like-minded friends What is not announced is that, to do this, it is necessary to send, in theory privately and securely, the contact book information
As for the new version for iPhone, which coincides in number with that of Android, 2.1, we must talk about notorious novelties when it comes to sharing photos on this social networkThe main one is the introduction of a new filter that allows you to create comic strips through photographs . In addition, existing effects such as Pro, Ansel, Instant, Diana and Lomo have retouched and improved But not only that. With this new update we have added the possibility to share images in high definition Finally, we must talk about the possibility of being able to adjust focus and exposure when taking a photo. This allows the photography savvy user to take full advantage of the iPhone's camera to capture more detailsin your snapshots.
In short, a very complete update in which outstanding aspects of this social network are improved An application that stands out for its visual aspect, its dynamism, and the agility with which it worksHowever, it drags along the ballast and bad reputation of entering the personal information in the agenda, always with the sole mission, in theory, of offering friendship suggestions for the user. Be that as it may, this new version 2.1 is now available for both Android andiPhone As always, you can download absolutely free from iTunes and the Play Store (old Android Market), depending on platform.
