We review Samsung's Social Hub, your one stop shop to your e-mails, SNS and IM accounts


Published on Nov 14, 2011

Social Hub keeps you connected with your e-mail accounts, Instant Messaging accounts and social networking sites accounts.

This application is available for only high-end Samsung phones and tabs like Samsung Galaxy SII, Wave II, Wave 723, Galaxy Tab, Wave S8500, and Galaxy S.

This application comes pre-loaded in these handsets and is very user friendly. You just need to just open the app and add it to your account.

When you tap on the add account option it will show you a whole list of E-mail accounts, IM accounts and SNS accounts.

You can select the account you would like to log in from and begin using the application.

Once you set up your account then you need not log in again to access the information. If you have any update on your Facebook account or you have received any e-mail on your G-mail it will be reflected on its icon. With one app you can manage several accounts like Windows Live Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo mail, SNS accounts like Twitter, linkedIn, Facebook and IM accounts like Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger.

It’s an easy way out to manage your several accounts via one app. The best part about this app is that you can switch between different accounts with just one single click.

Using Social Hub app elimates the need for downloading multiple apps for your accounts and social networking.

The Good: The good part about this app is has enlisted all famous sites for instance, in SNS account it has Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn . Though there are several other social networking websites running on the webbut these three are the most famous at present. Similarly, in IM, it offers you to set up your Gtalk, Yahoo messenger and Windows live messenger. And in e-mail it has three main websites Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

The user interface of this app is really simple. You have to just follow a few instructions to set up your accounts. It is pretty simple and anyone can operate it easily.

The Bad: The worst part in this app is you cannot delete your account from within this app only. If you have to delete any account then you need to go to ‘settings’ then Account and Sync and then click on the account name and click remove account.

Another restriction is it is specifically designed for Samsung handsets. So, you cannot manage your accounts via any other handset. Even this app is available for very limited handsets of Samsung.
