I couldn't find any settings to change this behavior. Weirdly, I didn't receive push notifications for any of my devices when I received a text message.

When you receive a call, even when the device is locked, a custom call screen lets you accept, decline, or respond with a message. Mobile devices, like my Nexus 7, are limited to 21 second clips but desktop users have no limit on recording length. With ooVoo you can send text messages, pictures, and short video clips.

I frequently felt lost, unsure of how to get back to specific screens, and the heavy emphasis on unlabeled icons meant I didn't always know what to expect from tapping an icon. The trouble is that all the pieces of the app don't mesh together well. Icons for people and actions are bounded in large, finger-friendly circles. It's boldly orange, and uses the same slim rectangle motif that Google favors with their apps. OoVoo clearly put a lot of effort into making their app look like a modern Android app.

But the company's pretty new app needs more controls and a little more work to make it easier to use. With more than 80 million users and the ability to support up to 12 people in a video call, ooVoo is a serious contender in the messaging space. Video chatting service ooVoo has revamped and re-launched their Android app with a totally new design that looks very modern and gives you quick access to many of the service's new features.
