An asian-based instant messaging program with lots of features.
KakaoTalk is a comprehensive chat and messaging application which not only supports conversations on mobile phones, but this version is specifically for the Windows PC.
The program supports many different functions that you would find on other programs like Viber or Skype, but can also send text messages to cell phones. You may also compare KakaoTalk to WhatsApp if you install it on an iPhone or Android.
If you have it on Android or iPhone, you can use it on Windows
In order to be able to use KakaoTalk on the PC, you need the corresponding app on your smartphone, which you can use to create an account. After installation on the PC, a confirmation code will be sent to your mobile phone, which you must enter.
On the PC version, you can join conversations with multiple people, send "stickers" and join in on the social networking features Kakao has to offer. For those of us in North America, there wouldn't be that much in terms of social activities.
The calls are of good quality and do not present sudden voice cuts and delay. In addition, you can adjust the volume to the level that suits you best.
KakaoTalk chat windows can be customized with different colors, themes and totally unique designs created from your own photos. For chatting, it also supports rich-text features.
