Viber's main screen is typical of most messaging apps, with options to text or make voice and video calls. That also makes initial setup easier, since setup is simply a matter of confirming your phone number. Instead, after installing the app, it relies on your phone number to identify you, so users can't disguise their identity behind a screen name, alias, or avatar. Unlike some messaging apps, Viber doesn't require a username and password. You can use the free app for text messages, voice calls, and video calls. Especially because it doesn't require email to use,but only phone number. If Google delivers that,than I will have no problems to make people try this app.

įor anyone that doesn't know Duo will use new protocol called QUIC that's supposed to be more robust than any other video calling protocol we have today.

I was telling my sister about Duo back when was introduced, before going on vacation she asked me 'is that app out' ( I discribed Duo as app like Viber that should have better video quality than current apps, Google words). Today she called me on Hangouts without even trying on Viber first. In the evening, she tried calling on Viber but after 10 seconds she hang up and called me on Hangouts. Sound was clear without noise and video was stable. My sister said we should try facebook messenger,same story(even worse,there was interruptions in the video).Īnd then I said we should try Hangouts, I was amazed by huge difference in sound and video quality. My sister is on vacation out of the country, we use Viber to communicate so we tried to make a video call on Viber, I was suppressed by all the noise in the background and poor sound and video quality because both of us were connected on good wifi connection.

I know how we all hate Hangouts (for reason) and making jokes about this app all the time, but in the last two days I found that this app has really good video call quality and noise cancellation.
