OK, but could be better

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using for a few months now iVisit. I have a PowerBook 1.67 GHz and I'm in Tahiti. That's in French Polynesia, middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly 12000 miles from Europe, where are most of my buddies. Unfortunately, they all use PCs. I tried a couple of other video conferencing solutions and iVisit is the only one that works quite well. The interface is terrible and really ugly, but even on a quite slow ADSL line (256 kbits) the image and the sound are OK. Actually, the best is to use iVisit for the video and Skype for the voice. File transfer and IM are OK as well. iVisit requires only one TCP port open and that's good news for the security. So, that software is not that bad, even if the subscription is quite expensive. However, Skype is getting into the video conferencing market, and I not sure that iVisit will survive in the long run.
RIP OFF

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />is free to download, but you need to subscribe to the service to be able to create your own room, or stay connected to someone for more than 30 minutes. Also you cannot connect to more than one person outside of a room. Yeah they crippled it unless you pay. Blackmail in shareware form.

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have used iVisit over the last 6 years, subscribing for the last two, they recently upped the price of this to $50 per year, which is a total rip off for beta software. I recently complained on their message board about all the bugs, the price, the appalling service and lack of updates, I was promptly banned from both the server and the messageboard. They then send you nasty emails with legal threats because you broke their EULA agreement, using the "at iVisit's discretion" part of it as an excuse. Scary.
don't even waste your time thinking about it

- Summary
- This is one crappy piece of software. I own a chain of stores that sell computer hardware, software and also have an offshoot of the company where we set up networks for major companies and schools, and develop web content and applications. This product was originally tested to use at work amongst staff for inter-office communications. Because both mac and PCs are used in the business, it was hoped this would be a good solution. We also encouraged staff members to try it at home. The user interface is extremely bad, there is nobody in the rooms to talk to, and because we were using a lite version the video ceased to work after 30 minutes. Nobody really understood the software - despite having consulted the help secctions of the site (which are also poorly designed and organised), and many attempted to talk to the 'help team'. The help team either a) weren't there, b) didn't know how to help people, or c) were in the room, but were talking socially and were unwilling to help. Audio was also rather unreliable. I get a rather unprofessional feel from the iVisit company as a whole - you only have to look at the software, message board and site design to see it. This has all turned out to be a colossal waste of time and money for us, and after experiencing no real help in setting up the product, and not having any first hand experience with the pro package, there is just no way I would give them my money. The free version isn't even worth it.
good idea , bad programing

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />i used this alot over the years , the new versoin is so confusing to use for a mac user , no menus, you need to right and left click for different options , but there is no menu items for the same features so you dont even know there in the program ! Also it is nearly imposible to meet people on ivisit , you the user need to create a area , they took out the lobbies were you could at least try to meet people . To prove my point the people using this prorgram has droped by half since the new versions have come out . It has the poorest user interface i have ever seen for a chat program , but its free so see for your self nothing to loose you will ne just as lost as i was .
All Fine...

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Maybe they fixed their server issue between the last post and mine, but it downloaded quickly and installed with no quirks. Been using this with a complement of other vid software for many years from OS 9 up, and it has always been a solid performer, but as most vidcon software apps, you are pigeonholed into their server. Works as advertised!
Nowhere near a \"Me Too\" App

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />iVisit has been THE app for cross platform, and most especially multi-user video conferencing for years. For several years it was the only free, cross platform app you could get, and since iChatAV requires a shareware crack to use my USB camera and STILL doesn't do group video chat, I'm sticking with iVisit as my program of choice. They've stuck by the Mac community and were there long before iChat, and will continue to be there. Great product.
