Updated 11:30 AM ET: The Official Vine app is now live in the Store. Link below.
Vine has today announced on the official blog that their Windows Phone app will be released today. Fans of the service have been left with little choice but rely on third-party solutions (6sec and Viner to name a few) while Vine looked at developing an official app for Microsoft's mobile platform. We covered an unveiling of the official Vine app at Nokia World 2013, but soon you'll be able to download the app and create some awesome short clips.
If you're not familiar with the service, Vine enables you to create looping videos with sound - think of them much like animated GIF images. The team will be releasing a product, which is in line with what's already available on iOS and Android. However, they have confirmed specific Windows Phone features such as the ability to pin favourite Vine accounts to the Start screen and we bet there'll be integration with the camera.
Download the official Vine app for Windows Phone here in the Store. 10 MB, Free. Windows Phone 8 only.

Vine for Windows Phone is now available for download
On my Lumia 1020 with the official vine app everything is cool until I upload and view. I get no sound and a black screen. If i open and view my vine with 6sec it works but voice is out of sync and its very choppy. Still shows a black screen the the official Vine app.

The autoplay becomes an issue when you're scrolling and you stop on a vine, but before it fully loads to play, you've scrolled on. The old video still plays.
Too late guys, I've got used to 6sec app which is great! and don't care about the official app anymore. Boo hoo
I just had talk with RIM. They predict bbm will arrive to windows phone early next year.
So is Instagram Video better or Vine better.
It's heaps fast and smooth on my Nokia 925, videos load up pretty quickly too! Well done Vine!!!
6sec is better. I said it.
Although I preder Rudy's apps.. the apps with video are expensive
I think the official app is better than 6". Just sayin.
Best amateur porn ever xD
It's so dense, every single image has so much going on.
No love for WP 7.8
Does anyone know if paltalk will be released?
Some processing errors on my Lumia 520...
I don't see a setting to disable the live tile- I follow some vines that don't need to show up on the tile ;)
Downloaded it. Tried it out. I prefer Rudy's 6Sec a LOT more than the official app. Third-party apps win again!
Come on people! its better give support to all the developer that is trying to work hard and make window phone better every day,we know that this official vine will be better with the next update! today is the firts day so go ahead nokia!
We actually know nothing of the sort. I DO know that Rudy worked hard (and still is) on his 6Sec app, and it's a much better app. I give support to great third-party developers. The only issue I care about regarding "official" developers is that if they aren't going to give Windows Phone due diligence that they sit down, shut up and let great third-party devs to their thing. So, no, I'm not impressed by the official Vine app.
downloaded and working here (Guatemala)
Please correct the headline. The word you're looking for is "official" :)
Windows phone 7? :(
Apps aren't made for WP7 much anymore :/
Rudy could make a killer YouTube app!
Its great, very good app
Can't sign in... Figures!!! Sticking with 6sec.
Blatant copy of 6sec :P
10 minutes into Vine and I think I've decided I can live without it. One upside of this service might be that if aliens ever gaze upon our little globe they'll see Vine and decide we're just too dumb to bother invading.
my preference is 6sec even after releasing official app
i never used this thing, but I will creat a account and use...
like with 6tag, I just created an account and bought to support..
will support vine decision too, in favor of Wpcommunitty
Um, is it just me. Some of the comments seem like the app is not ready but I just downloaded it today from windowsphone store. Its ready for download and so far it looks good!
Windows phone 8 only.. Of course
Nice for a developer to actually use fast resume. It is the API that is least used in windows phone that needs to be used to corral in the Android and apple fans. Few things are worse than instinctively hitting an app you've recently launched on the start screen only to have it boot up to the home screen and atop what you were doing.
Woop woop official app
Tried it and it's slow and choppy. Won't switch from 6sec.
Oh my god! finally Vine on windowss phone! another win.... go ahead nokia !!!!!
Sorry... but some of you all are like those little girls on "my sweet 16" or whatever it is... get something new, and all that matters is what's next or why did it take so long, or everyone else has had this for so long. Grow up.
That said, I have little use for this, but I'm gonna DL it anyway.
And your point is?
Dude this is a site for FANS. F-A-N-S of the plataform, not just informative. If you don't like it, read just the article. Shit. Is it hard to do?
Meh
Yeah ! More and more official app coming to WP8. Even though I didn't use Vine, but still happy to hear this news. Cheers :D
same here...but will download and use this damm thing
Now Pinterest, please............
Very happy to see official apps coming to the store
Meh
Where's my disable autoplay option?? :'(
Guess I'll stick with 6sec for a while..
6sec still the best,this one has a lot of frames!
Holy wow this app sucks. Sluggish as all hell! 6sec it is!
Amen!
What is the point of this app now that Instagram does videos as well?
Instagram still is primarily photo oriented. Vine is way more interesting because it forces people to be more creative in 6 secs. Most instagram videos are of drunken idiots. Or concerts.
Its ridiculous how much better 6sec is. It had a higher resolution so everything isn't huge, prettier and doesn't have lag!!!! This app is soo laggy and why don't you have the option of making the top bar green. More respect to Rudy.
Now I can hang with the cool kids who gives a f
Lol, wish I was cool. I'm not even gonna try
Interesting that followers via 6secs isn't found using vine. Even though logged in
Thanks to wpc
That awkward moment when you realise that Rudy is more competent than an entire company.
Next in line for the K.O.: Instagram.
I will have both of each its good to support official apps in the store more will come by the masses
This
I was really hoping the official app would fix the issue 6tag and Viner had with seamless looping but I guess not... I'll probably just stick with 6tag except for making Vines because the ghost feature is really useful!
Well, it's good looking, fast and smooth (L920) but I'm in love with the possibility to NOT AUTOPLAY like I can on 6sec, so it's still my primary one.
But I'll keep Vine just in case someone tries to talk crap about WP for not having official apps ;)
Edit: NOT fast and smooth, it's actually laggy. :/
Lol I'll do the same with Instagram. People don't seem to care about 3rd party apps =(
I like how I can't login with my twitter account in the app but I can on the site.
Wp8 ohhh all grown up
This Vine app proves how awesome Rudy has been in his development of 6sec.
I will download and use it with a secondary account, but 6sec won my heart because Rudy made it happen for us. Still, I'm grateful that Vine is now available for WP.
Can't sign in to the app with my Twitter account because my password has a / in it. Confirmed two accounts with a / won't sign in, but an account with no special characters can. Bummer.
Wow i cant belive how slow and slugish it is on my 1020. Unbeliveable....
+1020
Yey finally! Btw bad news for the WP7.x owners, no support for them :|
It's a bit choppy when scrolling on my Nokia Lumia 920.
Rudy all we need is snap chat and a better third party Facebook app so Facebook is supped up on Windows Phone and the app store keeps growing also add multiprofile support to fb app!
Yeah, and while he's at it maybe he can fix Fuse as well.
I don't use it but downloaded it to show big app companies people will download their junk
I think it is safe to say, for the time being, Rudy's 6sec is a lot better.
If you ever wanted an app to "stop the music" ... Vine does the trick.
Will Fliboard be available soon? I was an iPhone user and now I decided to move Lumia 920 and I love it but miss Fliboard, 6tag and 6 sec work for me well, but good for WP to have official apps!
yes flipboard is coming by the end of the year, if we have instagram and flipboard 2014 will be a good year for WP8
Hope before the end ends!
Instagram is coming closer.........
It keeps saying that there's a "network error" every time I try to log in via Twitter...
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/vine/f9e6f07e-e47e-47f5-806d...
Was visible.
Just downloaded it and so far I like it. 6sec deleted.
Lots of bugs and glitches.
Such as username not found, and followers/following etc done via 6sec don't show up in vine
Its not so smooth. Havent tried the upload feature... Good enough for version 1.0
Got it installed! Now what?
Now gives snap chat! Cause I don't care about the official instagram! We have 6tag!! :-):-)
The only thing better in the official one is the tools to create the Vine. Everything else is better in 6sec (not to mention it's likely Rudy will replicate those tools soon)
Who gives a crap! Go 6secs all day!!! :-) its cool with the support an all. But its too dam late. Sorry vine!
Download it just so we keep getting first party apps....
I agree. I don't use Vine but I just installed it.
Flipboard?
Finally I can upload 6 sec long videos without having to pay $3.
Another WP8 only DOWNLOAD..
IM..AHHHH
Vine official app sux 6sec spoiled us too much. Only the Video preview is better in the official app compared To 6sec
Have no desire to download the official app. sticking with 6sec until it'll no longer be supported.
Download and delete. The more official apps are downloaded the better it looks for the platform
+920
not available yet ...
I get a sign in error when trying to sign in with my twitter account
It gives me 895a0194 error :(
EDIT: It just started downloading :D
turn off the wifi and let it download via phone network. Same thing happened to me.
Yay!!!!!! +822
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that takes care of "V" in my apps list. Now I just need "X " & "Z" apps.
Don't have any "X", but "Z" I have Zomato and Zinio?
I signed up for the beta and nothing yet. Anybody received a message about being accepted to participate in the beta for mint??
it looks ugly !! thats for sure
That's what she said.
But she forgot about it 6 seconds later
im sure she will say the same thing about your thoughts
I get an error code when trying to download from the WPC app. Also I can't find it in the WP8 store when I search.
Same here
Nice an official Vine, now we need a official Snapchat
Laggy. Doesn't allow to disable AutoPlay on Vines. Very few options. Another bad port to WP8. Sticking with 6sec.
I don't think any of the official Vine apps have the option to disable autoplay. Probably wrong about that though.
No. U'r right! No option to disable auto play on any platform.
I never said any "official" app does, but its annoying and can be disabled in 6sec so I'll stick with that. :)
Rich, now the link is live!!!!!
Wow!
I am proud to be a windows phone user and very very happy that i choose windows over ios n android... I was a Symbian user... Nokia is just awesome
Not available in my region #Chicago

Just downloaded it. The link is live now.
Just downloaded it
Looks like it's live now. Just started installing.
Downloading now
Okay we got vine ready to be downloaded, now where are the other line ups at the 1020 announcement apps like path and flipboard, waiting for those apps seems like forever since both dont have any thirdparty Client to fill the void.
Won't let me download
Looks like it's live a mere 2 minutes later. Just worked for me.
Yessss!!!! Instagram next!
It's live right now!
The link is actually wrong. Here it is http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/vine/f9e6f07e-e47e-47f5-806d...
Downloading now!
Got it. :D
Awesome! Can't wait for the official instagram app. Hopefully snapchat joins the party soon. With those two I will no longer need to use third party apps (Rudy's are great but I prefer official apps)!
Hopefully Win8 will be coming soon.
Awesome. Another win for Windows Phone.
+920
I'm using 6sec at the moment. But glad that the official app is released
I think I will stick with 6sec, just because I want to support the man who helped us get through hard times.
Instagram tommorow! Haha I'm just wishing. Probably will need Carrier update...*sarcasm* :( But....at least its coming!!!! :)
=D < my face all day today cuz of this
Awesome.. Now where is instagram....
NEST app please.
Finally! Instagram Your Turn!
If they add the DISGUSTING shadow under the nav bar like they did in the recent Twitter update...I will kick and I will SCREAMMM!!
It looks so ugly I know!!
Hurry up Instagram. Getting official apps on the platform really adds momentum. People from other platforms keep telling me that WP does not have Instagram as an official app. I hate to hear that. Bring it on folks!
I love when they say that cause I have a chance to show them 6tag and how different it is from there official app as well as the WP features to 6tag
I can sleep in peace now :)
R.I.P.
Even if you stick with 6sec (like I will be), you should still download and login to the official Vine app. If these companies see lots of dowloads/use of their app, they and other developers are more likely to bring more and more apps to WP.

This!
That!
Who's the black sheep?
6sec unlike 6tag, it doesn't offer more features than what the official application already does. On the other hand, 6tag does the job better.
I'm getting errors trying to download it.
No. It's just not live yet.
Can Rudy tackle an ESPN app? I have major issues with both the Scorecenter and Nokia ESPN hub apps.
It won't let me download it
It's just not live yet.
I bought 6Sec a while ago.. but right now they show me some ad's! tha's it not right... so i will use vine official app instead
When the application is visible?
پس کی برنامه قابل مشاهده میشه؟
Gonna stick with rudy, but I'll give this a try
Snapchat, instagram, bbm and that's about it :)
Woo! There are some vine specific features that haven't made it to 6sec so I am excited to see them
.
That being said, 6sec is amazing so I am ready to see if vine can have the same fluidity.
Awesome. Luv Vine....
Will probably still stick with 6sec, thank you very much.
Now for the Snapchat :)
Vine. Check.
Hope it runs on the HTC 8S.
Spelling official is tricky & hard...
+1 it obviously eludes many of us...
Hehe, you're not the only one that noticed that...
LOL, I didn't notice.
There is no "I" in the team and we are offical WPCentral team.
Okay may be there is only 1 "I" in the team.
lol :D +920
U know what games, I love to see on WP8? The infinity blade series. Random, i know.
With Xbox achievements
+ PvZ 2
PvZ 2, Temple Run 2, Candy Crush
Candy Crush with achievments would fly like hotcakes with wings and muscles (unlikely though)
I'd love to see GTA IV and 5 on WP too. IOS has all the gtas.
but IOS can keep all those so-called'freemeium' +IAP apps, with the exception of asphalt 8 and qonqr I guess. (they aren't plagued with ads and are not PTP.)
YES. Now what about Official Instagram AND Mint!?
Instagram is coming by the end of the month supposedly. Mint is supposed to have a release by the end of the year, so hopefully that is still the case.
Check the news feed. There just was an article about an official beta starting for both Win8 and WP8 for Mint.com
Which I signed up for and have yet to hear anything back...
For Windows 8.1 ???
hell yea keep it comin' son
I have been using 6 sec and its an amazing substitute for Vine. I'll still use it even after this one drops but I'll check this one out as well.
