Messaging apps have had a bit of bad publicity lately (Facebook Messenger, anyone?) and it's getting to be a crowded field. FuseMe offers voice and video callers the ability to share photos and videos with friends and the usual text messages that you'd expect to find on offer. Want to share exactly where you are with friends? There's "See what I see", a one-way video session. Need to search through your photos or other messages without leaving the chat? There's a split-screen view that also allows you to drag and drop content into your chats, and it's all done through an easy-to-use interface. Of course, the main problem you'll encounter is waiting for others to catch onto the app so you can send messages to friends. Contacts will be notified of you try to send a message to them before they sign up, but to take full advantage of all the features FuseMe has to offer, they will have to come on board.
