Tango

  

Tango puts a twist on a traditional phone call, making it a better experience and easier way to communicate.  Tango is definitely an App that everyone needs!  For those who are a fan of Facetime, Tango is so much better because you can use it anywhere, no wifi connection is needed.  I originally discovered Tango, when I was using FaceTime and it kept failing because of weak wifi signal.  One of my friends suggested that I use Tango, and I have never used facetime again since.   Tango is similar to FaceTime, except it does no require wifi to work.   This makes it more accessible and can literally be used anywhere.   Tango allows you to select one or multiple people to video chat straight off of your mobile device.  It was originally created so that people with iPhones and Andriod can have an experience similar to Facetime, which is for iPhone users only.  Tango also allows the people involved in the conversation to use different effects while chatting that, and it also allows you to snap pictures.  This App is fabulous and makes phone conversations more personable.  I personally love it and would rather video chat than answer the phone and have a conversation.  So many more things can happen via video.  I have given a tour of my apartment, to my mom via this App, as well as showed my sister the dress I am wearing to her wedding, it truly is a great way to virtually be with people who are miles away.

           Tango makes phone calls more personal with face to face interaction.  It is more than a phone call and better than a text message.  Tango is just like the normal Oovoo or Skype program on the computer, except it satisfies the needs of today’s generation by incorporating it for the mobile device.  It takes communication to a new level.  You could be miles away from someone, and yet they are right in front of you through a phone screen.  It enhances communication, since there is eye contact it's hard for the other person to stray away from the conversation.  You can read facial expressions, and tones of messages do not get misjudged which often happens via text.   It is the perfect way for the college age to keep in touch with their families.  It also comes in handy when traveling.  Tango can better relationships and communication in a variety of ways, it has potential and is only going to get better.
