It occurred to me one day that I could save loads from my phone bill by cutting mobile talk time via switching to apps like Speek which enable voice and video conference calls over cellular networks. It worked best when I was at home, connected to my Wi-Fi network and scraped precious minutes of limited mobile talk time off my chest.
An obvious pun on the word speak, Speek offers users the ability to make calls over an internet connection. However, with many similar apps offering the same service and pretty much identical features, ease of use has become the drawing factor on which app becomes a main stayer. I am, however, very happy with the user-friendliness of Speek.
To start off, the layout of the app is very neat and easy to navigate through. The dull background matched with bright buttons may not be something fancy, but at least it does not come across as an eye sore from trying too hard and serves its purpose well. Contact details are neatly displayed by the app, right down to information regarding previous calls. Calls themselves could be easily made with simple taps without having to navigate through countless complicated and redundant menus.
When it comes to functionality apps like these, simplicity always scores extra points in my books as compared to complexity which more often than not comes across as being too confusing to understand. Thus, this free app gets my vote.
Quick Take
Value:High
Would I Buy Again:Yes
Learning Curve:NA
Who Is It For:People who want to communicate through the internet
What I Like:The simplicity in layout and convenience of use.
What I Don't Like:The app is not that mainstream yet and thus lacks a user base.
Final Statement:I strongly recommend Speek to be given a try
