One of the biggest resources eater and also it's a big concern about a security part. Install it if you really need it.

The messenger is good. I have been using it for six months already. So far so good. Why 4, because the parameter in the network can be changed only once a day. Very uncomfortable. Developers, please fix this. And the rest - well done! Every day some new features.

Displays question marks instead of emojis on the desktop version (Mojave 10.14.6). For some reason, there is no such thing as any kind of support (official user forums, troubleshooting), or I'm too stupid to google it.

Why would I want to use this instead of WhatsApp? I currently use WhatsApp and I am wondering if there would be any advantages to me using Viber instead.

For some reason emojis are not working anymore on a Mac version. I bet they want to force users to use their own smileys. Silly decision.

Good app but mostly fitted for using on iPhone than on a Mac, I think, it's most convenient for mobile phones. I installed it on a computer with only one purpose - to have video calls on a big screen. Previous version sometimes hung on my Mac, the current one seems to be better. Hope, it will serve me fine in the future versions.

Can't review this. App asks if I have it on a smart phone - I don't, and it won't take no for an answer. In short, doesn't work under 10.11.6

Love it on iphone and iPad but on Mac desktop (10.11.2) it beachballs as soon as I go "off the page" and select a menu item. Only cure is to force quit and reopen - annoying!

Apparently v.5.0.1 for OS X was just released today (10th of March 2015), albeit the actual app having a creation date of 25 February 2015. This update might aim at solving many crashes users have been experiencing with v. 5 upon launch, so if you happened to fall in that category (i don't) you might want to give it a go and report back.

Won't run at all on my mac, keeps crashing on opening since it updated automatically to 5.0.0. I've tried uninstalling, removing all config files, reinstalling and re-registering with my phone number, but it still crashes on startup. I'm using Yosemite (10.10.2), Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000

I still don't get the low rating here. This is superior to Skype and is a joy to use. I've gotten a few friends to switch over from Skype and they haven't looked back since. The only downside is this app requires a phone number in order to sign up, but if you're just chatting with people you know then it shouldn't be an issue. The audio and video calls are top notch and it syncs perfectly with my iOS app. I don't miss any messages, which I can't say the same for Skype.

Works very well on iPhone and Mac desktop. It's simple and easy to use, I've had no problems as yet ... Except with with my internet connection at different locations (iPhone). The desktop version is almost identical to the mobile version. While the stickers are fun - they are not for me. Viber works really well; voice calls are a breeze.

I was really hoping this app to take over from Skype. And they really ad the chance too. Instead of put the priority on all the Skype problems like bad UI and CPU over usage. Viber developers spends it time to create new stickers? Big misstake and I'm sad to see Viber will not be a Skype competitor as I hoped. I also notice the more and more of my friends are leaving Viber.

Fine when it works - Bad when it doesn’t – mainly because support from Viber is staggeringly inept of the ‘did you try switching it on?’ variety. Doesn’t matter how much detail you provide – there’s never an answer for you. Couple that with the spam overload from them to buy stickers – its just not worth it anymore, no matter how good the call quality is.

Its important to not that if for example you are in New Zealand and your number is 0212345678, then you should enter the number 212345678, i.e. omitting the first zero. Otherwise it wont work. Once I sorted this for myself, everything was fine with a 4 digit code appearing on my iPhone viber app.
