The market for messaging applications seems to still have room for manoeuvre. And it is that, despite the crowd and the habits of the users, new alternatives continue to emerge to compete against the classic tools available. This is the case of Wire, created to mix the most successful concepts of other applications, but which can surprise you thanks to its possibilities and a exquisite visual design All this drinking directly from Skype
And we say precisely this about Wire because it comes hand in hand with former workers of the video call tool itself acquired by Microsoft. A somewhat peculiar question considering that it poses a powerful, although initial for the moment, alternative to Skype, but also to WhatsApp and the rest of the tools that are not only based on messages. Thus, Wire wants its users to share their voices and files such as photos and videos, but also links to the videos on the platform YouTube and songs from the service SoundCloud
It is a multiplatform messaging tool, which copies Skype precisely in aspiring to be present in computers, tablets and mobiles in unisonSomething that allows the user to communicate at any time and place, using the resources at hand but without limiting the service of the application. Simply install the application and create a user account that can be used on Android devices , iOS or even on computers Mac We are also working to stay in touch directly from the Internet browser, although it will come later.
Wire also stands out to a great extent for its design Y is that it is very simple and visual, taking advantage of the images as backgrounds and eliminating the rest of superfluous elements on the screen Thus, the chat only consists of an image and a text entry line at the bottom, without boxes, buttons, or icons. The text appears and is reflected on the background plain and simple.Just there are three icons at the bottom of the screen from which to choose to make a call over the Internet with HD quality according to those responsible thanks to their code, share photos previously stored in the terminal or computer and, finally, send videos ofYouTube and songs from SoundCloud Elements, all of them, that are reflected on the chat screen directly over the conversation, without boxes or links.
This design also helps to manage conversations, especially group chats , allowing you to see who participates in them with their profile photos in circles A good way to stay in touch from any device with a wide number of people and the possibility of sharing different contents.And a simple but curious element to alert only one of the members of the conversation to attend to it if they are not participating in it.
In short, a curious messaging application that draws directly from Skype and WhatsApp and is proposed as a powerful alternative, with curious and practical functions. The good thing is that Wire is completely free It can be downloaded from Google Play and App Store
