Though I am writing this post, but I feel like "Why have we not discussed about Line Naver App before". Its one app which we were looking for so long and should have been shared on this blog long back. Better late than never. We are talking about the Line Naver Application (Free Calls and Messaging application available across multiple platforms). If I would have to explain in one line, then Line Naver App is perfect alternative to both Viber and Whatsapp.
Line is a multi platform messenger application by a Japanese company called Naver. This app is highly popular in Asian countries (specially in Japan). As per them, Line Messenger is most downloaded app in over 40 countries and has its presence in over 230 countries worldwide.
The app is currently available for iOS, Android, Mac, Blackberry, Windows 8 and PC. Viber not being on PC is highly disappointing and Line has done great job here (will be liked by many). Talking about its feature which are endless and combination of both Viber and Whatsapp. Something I would say much closer to WeChat messenger application.
- Availability : It may not be a feature for many but the thing is this factor is highly important. Most of the times what happens is that app is available only for iOS and Android so rest of your blackberry and non smartphone friends end up not using the app and stay disconnected from the group.
Line Naver is available for all the platforms (be it iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile or even PC0 which is indeed great.
Strange but many of my friends don't use this application so it may not be very useful for me. Or probably I will have to invite all my friends to this new app. Because at the end of the day if the app is popular in your social circle, you will use it otherwise you will have to say bye bye to this.
