ooVoo manifests as a cluttered and non-native interface spread across multiple windows for its various tasks: a contacts list, a text chat window, a video chat window, etc. ''Every window'' in ooVoo displays advertisements at you. It can be assumed that these are targeted: during our intercontinental chats, I was shown a Volkswagen ad comprised of text in Spanish, German, and English simultaneously. Some ads automatically play audio at you, destroying any recordings you might be making - this is significant since call recording is a built-in feature. | ooVoo manifests as a cluttered and non-native interface spread across multiple windows for its various tasks: a contacts list, a text chat window, a video chat window, etc. ''Every window'' in ooVoo displays advertisements at you.

Frustratingly, some menu items are not identical across platforms. In trying to troubleshoot issues we were having, ooVoo's tech support page referred to necessary menu entries which existed on OS X, but not on Windows. | Frustratingly, some menu items are not identical across platforms.
