Making the UI conversation-based was not really necessary, and the alternative that Google has provided is confusing and not very user friendly. But the user interface to our mind at least, needs to go back to the basics. Google's decision to consolidate all its chat options is greatly welcome, and a long time coming, and this app has the potential to become a true WhatsApp/BBM/Viber killer. Also the fact that you can use emoticons in captions of images is cool. Adding photographs is also very easy, as there is a 'camera' icon next to the area where you type which allows you to easily attach photographs from your gallery or immediately take a picture and send that across instead. The messaging option is very similar to services like Skype and WhatsApp, at least in terms of simplicity, not to mention the wealth of emoticons available in the options. Of course for this to work really smoothly, you need 3G or WiFi connectivity, which in India as we all know, is the exception rather than the rule. All you need to do is add the names of contacts who you want in the video call with you and hit the 'video call' option. It is also relatively easy to add people to group calls. The call and picture clarity is very good, and you get a nice clear video image of the other person. When you click on a contact, you immediately get a pop-up message that asks if you want to send a message, or make a video call. Once you do get past the confusion of figuring out who is online and offline, it starts getting cool. This completely discourages you from even using the app in the first place, and even the biggest Google fan may move to WhatsApp or one of the other alternatives. Online and offline contacts are all bunched together with no discernable logic, and sometimes you start messaging someone who 'looks' like they are online, only to find out that they are not.Įnd result: You find yourself longing for the familiar green, red and orange dots that made chatting so ordered and easy. And how it's supposed to work, is that the profile pictures of offline contacts are faded out, while those who are online are sharper and more in focus. If you scroll down a little further you will see a list of all your contacts.
