Vine, the six second video sharing app, has been released for Android. Available since January on iOS, the new Android version has most of the same features, with the rest promised in the coming weeks.

Vine for Android requires at least version 4.0 of the operating system. It allows you to create six second looping videos really easily, with neat touch editing for making quite interesting short videos. Simply touch the screen to start recording, and let go to stop. There’s an explore feature so you can watch other people’s videos, and a tool to find or invite your friends to Vine.

In the current version of Vine for Android, you can share your videos on Twitter, with Facebook support coming soon. Front facing camera support, search, mentions and hashtags will also be added soon. Vine videos are neatly embedded in tweets, as the service is owned by Twitter.

Vine is great fun, and it’s excellent news that now Android users can join in with the very short film making app.
