Excellent quality video, the sound was a little crackly but still clear. I thoroughly enjoyed this marvellous piece of technology. Thank you to all involved

Overall the service is good although some tines it can be a little too sensitive if you move or anything, i just wish we could make more than one video call a month because they are only 30 minutes long although its better than nothing i suppose. UPDATE 28/01/22 the app has been good mostly but my last one would disconnect alot as it depends on a good wifi signal i used my data in the end.

Great app for seeing your loved ones. Would suggest that they don't do face recognition on children under 5 because my 2 year old won't stay still to get his head into position with the circle and also will not smile so there for my son couldn't join my calls Also was hard to do to my newborn baby aswell. Apart from that it's great.
