Instant messaging is always free and works even when you’re in the middle of a video call. Credits work for calls to multiple countries (see a full list here), and rates start at around 1.8 cents per minute to the United States. Voice calling between ooVoo contacts is free and unlimited, but if you want to call regular numbers (both cellphones and landlines), you’ll have to cough up some cash for ooVoo credits. Multi-friend-chatting aside (you only see four people on the screen at a time, so it’s not too overwhelming), ooVoo is a full-featured app that also offers voice calling and instant messaging. At the bottom, there are five navigation buttons: Contacts, Phone, History, IM, and Settings. At the top of the screen, there are three buttons for your three different contact lists: ooVoo contacts, Facebook contacts, and All contacts (which includes your address book).
When you first download it, you’ll be prompted to create an ooVoo account or login with Facebook.
The ooVoo app is simple and straightforward on both iOS and Android.
