Viber announced the release of version 3.0 of its platform, which completely redesigns Viber for Android, and supports eight additional languages. This comes on the heels of achieving the 200 million user mark - up from 100 million in September, 2012.
Endgadget states that folks using Viber's iOS and Android apps will see many changes to the overall user experience in version 3.0, including added support for video messages, a novel voice engine to help improve call quality, the ability to check contacts' online status and a completely redesigned interface.
Viber has revolutionized free messaging and VoIP on mobile with its popular app for leading platforms including Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and others. Now with the release of Viber Desktop, users have one easy-to-use and always available solution for free messages and calls.
One of the strengths of Viber is its easy activation process. The company has replicated the same process with Viber Desktop. As soon as you enter your mobile number and a confirmation code which is sent to your mobile Viber app, you are ready to go! All of your mobile Viber contacts are instantly and continuously synced from your mobile Viber to Viber Desktop.
Another feature that is touted by Viber in the press release is the seamless transfer of calls between Viber Desktop and the Viber app with one click or tap, making it easier for the user to change devices as the need arises.
Talmon Marco, CEO of Viber elaborates on the feature; "People spend a substantial amount of time on their smartphones, however, a lot of that usage takes place at home or in the office, where they have laptops or desktops close by. With Viber Desktop you always get to use the most convenient device. You can seamlessly switch devices while messaging and even transfer calls between your mobile and desktop."
The new version is available at Google play.
