ooVoo Reviews 

I can't review the product, I am afraid.

I was unable to install the product on an Android device that had no sim.

Emailed customer support, who didn't read the problem and got a standard reply very quickly. It didn't addresss the problem.

I responded telling them this and got another very quick response telling me that their previous email had answered the problem.

In the end, I sent a photo of the screen that I was stuck on and asked to point out where, on that screen, the link was that they referred to.

That was it. I got no more replies.

Moral - Oovoo might be fine, I don't know, but don't expect customer support to help you with anything that is not on their pre-prepared responses.

The ooVoo website promotes the download of the ooVoo social application for phone, PC or Mac.

The site itself looks professional but the application is dangerous if used by children or teenagers who are not fully aware of how to secure they profile.

There have been a number of reported cases regarding Paedophiles using the application to target vulnerable children - one example reported in the Daily Mirror in March this year.

Our daughter was sent friend requests from men whose profile pictures showed full and erect frontal male nudity.

Closing down an account is not possible - the knowledge base simply advises you to change your display name, remove your profile picture and make yourself unsearchable in the privacy settings.

The site has a support function for reporting abuse but it clearly isn't monitored as no responses are provided (not even automated responses).

Bottom line is, if you have children who use tablets or smart phones, check whether they use ooVoo and take action to monitor their contact list / secure their privacy setting - or better still, remove the application.
