Version: iSpQ VideoChat 7.5
"I was hooked before the 21 day free-trial was up!"
Pros: The program was easy to learn, unlike a lot of video chat programs. The thing I like best about this program is that you can use it as an instant messaging program using a contact (pal) list [with the option of joining a directory chatroom] but without all the annoying pop-up message windows other chat programs use. Each QM (quick message AKA instant message) you receive is neatly delivered into a menu box. This allows for communicating privately (1:1) with more than one person in a less confusing manner than those programs that use annoying pop-up message boxes. With each QM you want to send, you have the option of sending a snapshot of yourself with your message. Responses will usually come back with the picture of the person sending it to you (although not always). Video and audio quality is exceptional with adequate hardware. Live connections are the next best thing to being together in the same room. Often, you will feel as though you are. Even though there are some CONS with this program, I still feel it is the best chat program I have come across on the net. There are certain features of this program that keep me coming back.
Cons: Program server problems/bugs from time to time (especially when development of a new upgraded version of the program is about to be or is released). Future upgraded versions are not always free. Recently older versions of iSpQ have either been discontinued and are unusable or certain features are no longer available to those with older versions (for example, searching profiles online of iSpQ members). Many users assume that other users are using this program for "sexually-oriented" fun. However, there are community monitors available to report such abuses/harrassment, and there is a refuse list you can use to no longer be bothered by users you no longer wish contact with.
