Top 10 Best Video Calling Apps

Around 2010, when the HTC EVO 4G came out and was available on Sprint. That was one of the first phones that had a front-facing camera. Which, at the time we all thought it was revolutionary. That spawned the day of video calling and video conferencing from your phone and now tablet. We’ve gone from VGA cameras (which the iPhone still has) to now many phones have 2-2.1MP cameras. So the cameras on the front are getting better, but what apps can you use to video call your friends and family? Well there’s actually quite a bit. We’ve searched through the Play Store and found the top 10 video calling apps. So let’s get started with number ten.

10. Qik Video Lite

qik
Qik is one of the first apps, that I can remember, that supported video calling. But what’s strange is that there seems to be a Qik app for many different phones. So we decided we’ll show the Lite version that only works on WiFi. You can find other versions on the Play Store. With Qik you can have live video calls over WiFi, call your Android or iOS friends, Send video mail, share live videos and much more.

Camfrog is an app that I’ve honestly never heard of before. But it works as it was intended and is a great alternative. Camfrog allows you to join thousands of chat rooms to video chat with others from all over the world. It works on Android, iOS Mac and PC. So it’s a great app that’s truly cross-platform.

4. ooVoo

oovoo
ooVoo is the video calling service that all the kids are using. It’s a pretty adequate alternative to Skype. It allows you to do group video calls or 1-on-1 video calls. You can have up to 8 people in a video call as well. ooVoo is cross platform and available on Mac, PC, Android, iOS, Blackberry 10 and Windows Phone. Not too bad ooVoo.

3. Tango

tango
Tango is a great video calling app. It allows you to automatically find your friends using Tango. Place calls and send messages quickly. It works on tablets and smartphones. It’s also available to be used over 3G, 4G and WiFi networks. You can also personalize your profile with status updates and photos. You can also group chat with up to 50 friends at once. That might get a little hard to understand what everyone’s saying.

2. Skype

skype
We all know and love or hate Skype. Skype is now owned by Microsoft, so they recently redesigned their Android app and it’s a bit more Metro UI which you’ll find on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. But you can still place voice and video calls from it to anyone in the world from your smartphone or tablet. It’s a great app to use.

1. Hangouts

hangouts
As Android users, we all have Hangouts installed on our phones and tablets already. So why not use it? With Hangouts you can video chat with up to 8 people at a time and you can even do a Hangout on Air, which allows your Hangout to be streamed and recorded onto your YouTube channel. Pretty cool right?

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
