Tests and Remarks
This application performed admirably well in making calls as the calls were crystal clear, had no distortions and connected without any trouble. The application has a built in Echo Test which handles and prevents Echoes from occurring during calls. The application passed in all the performance measure tests except from the Skype IM login feature. A missing feature in this application is the lack of the video calling feature. Apart from its two disadvantages, this app continues to function smoothly in the other spheres of VOIP requirements and can thus be recommended for use.
