PRLog - Aug. 27, 2014 - VILNIUS, Lithuania -- It has lately become a standard to have more than one application on a mobile phone to get interrelated things sorted. We use one app for chat, another to share location, third to get taxi, an endless list. Communication apps are currently topping the list. Every messaging app to enter the landscape at the moment is judged in relation to the latest record breaking acquisitions and market leaders. Users are having hard time choosing from a myriad of possibilities that are often focused on single functionality or cloning successful apps. Messenger app developers, on the other hand, have difficulties of standing out from the crowd. Since most of users have several gadgets at hand, there is a need for continuous conversation flow between all communication devices. 4talk is a relatively new player in the market aiming at filling the gap. What 4talk is doing is far more greater than a messaging app - the company is developing a cloud based personal communication platform.
Our mobile phones are never further than within a hands reach (some even see them as plain extensions to our physical bodies). Certainly, all of the business is done on a computer in one way or another. Naturally, use of more than one device for interaction with peers throughout the day is turning into a norm. Hence, communication between devices has lately become one of the main areas of innovation. Unlike most communication apps, 4talk has placed quite a lot of effort into ensuring user’s transition between devices as natural as it can be. With 4talk, users can start chatting on a mobile app, continue on a desktop PC or keep conversing on a tablet. Everything said or shared is instantly synced across all user’s devices or platforms. Needless to say, it is a huge relief from frustration when a conversation started on a mobile is not available on a computer, unless both users are logged in on PC. Since 4talk is a cloud based service, all conversation information (including shared images or videos) is always accessible via user’s account in real time. So when you share a photo with your friend via 4talk, it is instantly there to be enjoyed by both of you. You can even download the photo back to your other devices if needed.
It is not a secret that most communication these days is visual. We share images, videos, photos to express what we mean. Sometimes, we want them to be private and addressed to certain people. With 4talk you can send photos and videos to friends you interact with most and expect an immediate gratification. It is a one-to-one communication platform to extend your real world relationships. 4talk enables you to sustain relationships with the closest friends while on the move. With the technologies of mass communication becoming more and more accessible, daily commute to/from work is often brightened up with a smartphone in our hands.
Drivers are of great importance to 4talk, since 1 in 4 car accidents are phone related. So, safety is paramount. Some messaging apps pride themselves with voice/video texting capabilities, but let's be honest, most of them require a button to be held while recording. 4talk has taken a different approach - hands free recording. There is no need for holding a button - you press it once to record and if satisfied with the message, press once more to send. Eyes on the road!
When there is no road to keep your eyes on, you can always invite people to join you. Sharing your whereabouts or any other meeting point on the earth should be as easy as saying “Hi!”. 4talk has an internal location sharing function and turn by turn GPS navigation for an easier way to find your friends and be found yourself. So there is no need to have separate location sharing applications or copy your coordinates into conversation thread. It all can be done right within 4talk. It makes interaction with people around you a lot faster and more rewarding.
All in all, 4talk is proposing a move away from having several applications to do different interaction related functions towards a unified communication platform. With its internal features like multiple device support per account, photo, video and location sharing and any type of document sending, 4talk positions itself as a strong contender to leading messaging apps currently available.
