Post to all your social networks with MultiShare and UniShare, both with recent updates

Windows Phone 8.1 removed the ability to post status updates to multiple networks through the Me hub. Two apps have emerged, Multishare and UniShare, to address the missing functionality. Today we’re checking out the two recent updates to these Windows Phone 8.1 apps who are duking it in the social sharing war. Do let us know which of the two you’re using to post updates with.

  • Deja vu' read this post before...hmmm
  • Pretty sure you haven't, as both apps have had tremendous development since we last wrote about them. Multishare's big update came earlier today in the Store.
  • Oohh ok....so this's some kind of an updated post....nice.
  • Massive update, true!
  • Came yesterday in where I live
  • What does it say after the "via ..." for each app in Facebook, Twitter? I liked how the Windows Phone flag icon would show up next to the "via Windows Phone" caption.
  • Multishare says via windows phone 8.1 unishare says via unishare
  • I've been using One Love, but this Multishare update looks worthy of a try.
  • Why no mention of sharit?
  • Great question! Simple answer: never heard of it. I see it was buried weeks ago in our email. We may take a look.
  • Yea it has a pretty UI and allows multiple fb and twitter accounts....almost mentioned One Love but I remembered I only have it because of an article from here a couple weeks ago lol.
  • RoyBoy... Other than multiple accounts, how do you think Sharit compares to the other two mentioned in the article?
  • Multishare gave me a couple problems posting to Facebook occasionally ur can't post which is why I ended up sticking with unishare but I will give multishare another shot with the new update
  • I have been using IFTTT. The best feature is that it will post Instagram pics to Twitter using native Twitter cards. It is also platform agnostic, set it and forget. I even have it upload all of my posted photos to a folder in OneDrive.
  • Coming soon: TwitFace ...
  • Unishare is very fast and i love using it
  • I urge Sam to give us the wallpaper he is using on the pics!!!
  • That wallpaper can be shared? :D   Please Sir :D
  • +2520 Haha yeah that wallpaper is awesome we wants! :D
  • I want that wallpaper too
  • :/ the voice of people is the voice of god! Now ... Give it to me!
  • is there a table-like side-to-side comparison of features for those two apps?
  • Looks like still can't check in and tag people. Until this happens I can't use either of these apps for everything but good updates.
  • It seems these two can not work simultaneously, yah?
  • Y i cant update my lumia 1320 windows 8 to windows 8.1..pls help tnx.
  • Hah, I made the new MultiShare icon! ;)
  • anyone have the link for the wallpaper?
  • not sure on the wallpaper sam using but you could try the app theme+ .
