KakaoTalk is a fast & multifaceted messaging app. Very good for communication. Send messages, photos, videos, voice notes and your location for free. Make chatting extra fun with an array of emoticons and sticker collections. The app is for everyone of all ages and all genders. It is mostly used in South Korea.
This app is very good because of the quality for calling, texting and making video calls. It has a stable connection, the layout is dynamic and even for sending files it is a good platform because it supports large files.
The Good
Even if you experienced calling friends from an app, Kakao is perfect because they made features like calls faster than the competition, high quality and speedy, also you can join groups calls or just one on one call. Emoticons are available and stickers collection to express yourself when texting others. You can even multitask available during your call. You can use your cellphone while in a voice or video call. You can use it on your computer or Android and Ios. Send files, post your pictures and your experience to share with your friends and family. Multimedia files like video, voice message, pictures, docs and others are good to send in high quality and even large files. Compared to the competition this is one advantage because most of competitors do not allow users to send large files.
The Not-So-Good
You can have Kakao in any language, but since the app is created by South Koreans, it is very adapted to South Korea culture. So, things like layout, stickers and design are different than most of competitors which use a simple layout and design making it more simple and easy to use. If you aren't Korean you will need to get used to it because it is more complex to learn how to use all the features.You can send and share all the file types using Kakao, but sometimes you need to be very patient specially for large size files because it will take some time to upload it and send it.
In my opinion, Kakao is very good compared to the competitors like WhatsApp, We Chat, Facebook, Instagram and others because you have most of the features all in one app and even in a better quality and faster speed. You can share and post your videos and your own experience, you can add friends and family to your account and the app will suggest new contacts according to your use. Also, it is very good for communication. Imagine having WhatsApp and Facebook and Instagram all in one app: this is Kakao. And since the company is growing they are improving updates and new services to Kakao users like Kakao taxi (similar to Uber and Lyft) and Kakao coin to make payments using their own coin. I highly recommend Korean users to use Kakao because of the quality and the features. And if you are not Korean probably you will probably have a hard time finding people who use Kakao so it could be unnecessary for you.
