Though we’ve become quite acquainted with text messaging and even Audio messages are picking up the flames nowadays, video messaging has always been ruled out as the “last option”. You might see two people sitting at a 2-feet distance chatting with each other on the phone, sending emojis, poking fun at each other. It’s a normal sight nowadays. But what you’ll never find is a pair of close-sitting video chatters and I guess we know the reasons as well. First, video chatting is not a refined forte. It’s still rustic and evolving. Second, features like group video chatting are still absent from most such apps. These are the big road-blocks that need to be taken off-road and beaten with a hard-stick to ashes. But I guess these tricks have already been employed in some part of the world and that’s where Rounds has come from!

If you’re still confused about the last line, then I’m talking about the Android app called Rounds that has been developed by Rounds Entertainment Ltd. The app is compatible with all the devices running Android 4.0 or any later version of the OS. So let’s start the proceedings.

If you still haven’t heard about Rounds, maybe you’re living an ascetic life in the Himalayas or you’re so busy in your daily-schedule that you don’t have the time to listen to what everybody’s talking about in the town. But whatever it is, let’s get over it and talk about “Rounds” which is a video chat and group calling app. Now, for the Play Store that’s flooded with such video calling apps, this is not such a breaking news that’s leave the listeners stand still in awe and gratitude. But it’s not the concept but the execution of this app that’d mark an impact on you.

Starting with Group calling, this app can accommodate up to 12 friends at a time. So the next time you want an opinion on your dress for the party, don’t forget to invite your friends to your wardrobe. There’s a camera app that allows you to take pictures in live video chat, adding memories to your collection and the webcam chat effects are just fun, funny and scintillating, to be modest. You’d never be facing the same person again without Rounds. It is whole lot more fun this way!

Earlier, we used to share videos, music, etc with our friends. But now, you can watch them together, listen to your favourite artists at the same time with different headphones and find out who hits the higher notes of the Opera. It’s like a “collaborative” feature and it’s amazing. After all, it’s always better to find a “partner in your laughter”! By the way, don’t forget to add “Games” to the list.

Though this is a Video chatting app, it has full scope for text and audio messaging. A new range of emojis speak a different language than you’re accustomed to. You can login to Rounds with your Facebook account and invite your friends through Facebook, Whatsapp and mobile contacts. More the people, more the fun!

Overall, Rounds is a great video chatting app that you’ll find amusing, interesting and worthy adding to your app drawer!

On the top of the list, this app’s available for free in the Play Store.

Pros: group video chatting with up to 12 friends at a time; watch videos, listen music together; play games; text and audio messaging; funny webcam effects; camera app; free.

Cons: none.

I will give this app 4.5 out of 5 stars.
