An upgrade over Skype

Download, sign up, and log in to start making free voice or video calls. It can support up to 12 people at one time, making it a great tool for online conferencing.

Video chatting made easy

A free, easy-to-use option that lets you make voice and video calls to friends and colleagues.

Save time and money on business travel by using an application that allows you to stay connected as long as you have Wi-Fi or mobile data. Rather than pay for an expensive international plan, or get charged roaming fees, you can use thisapp to call and message friends, family, and others from almost anywhere. OoVoo also plays well with Facebook, in the sense that you can import your Facebook contact list, and use Oovoo messaging to create a cross-platform group chat.

A major drawback of the group video calling feature is that you can only see one person at a time. To change the view on your phone, you click on the person you are speaking to, using their avatar on the right-hand side of the screen. However vid calling has a cool feature where you can send an IM to someone during a call. This feature becomes useful when someone asks for an email or an address, and you can send it as a text without a hitch.

Besides having to click on someone’s screen name to see them in a video call, several other features will annoy people who download this application. If you have a free account, you have to deal with ads. This, coupled with the fact that the audio and visual quality isn’t the best, leaves more to be desired by the app.

Where can you run this program?

OoVoo can be run on Android mobile devices using version 9.0 and higher.

Is there a better alternative?

Many apps are being developed and improved to support VoIP. The standard has been Skype, but people are finding new apps to try like Facebook Messenger and Houseparty.

Our take

OoVoo offers ok sound quality, and the app does what it is meant to do. For that reason, it is worth trying out to see if it fits your requirements.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you are looking for an app that allows you to do large group calls and allows you to send outgoing calls to people, then this is exactly what you needed!
