Skyecaller PRO by Skyestream
About a month ago I reviewed a great app called Skyecaller and as much as I loved it I have to admit that I stopped using it shortly after that review. Why, you might ask? Well it’s not because I stopped liking the app, it was simply due to the fact that Skyestream contacted me shortly thereafter to tell me about Skyecaller PRO!
The difference between the two versions is not small by any means and this is also not simply a combination of two popular Skyestream apps (Skyecaller & Skyetones). Beyond displaying fullscreen caller/messager images Skyecaller PRO implements video ringtones, audio ringtone management, some additional new functionality (such as the ability to assign images/videos/ringtones to a contact OR to a profile), and an entirely new menu/operation structure that I simply love! Beyond all that, Skyecaller PRO gives you the ability to quickly and easily download content using menu options within the app that initiate the integrated S60 3rd browser and link directly to the appropriate Skyestream content page. So let’s have a look, shall we?
The default point of entry in the new Skyecaller PRO now displays the four main categories within the app, rather than your contact list.
This is important to note because it leads into the menu/operation restructuring that I mentioned above. Whereas Skyecaller’s order of operation is Browse Contact List -> Select Contact -> Browse Images -> Select Image, Skyecaller PRO uses the more logical progression of Browse Desired Multimedia Content -> Select Content -> Browse Contact List -> Select Contact. Now you can browse through each image/video/ringtone and quickly and easily assign it to each contact that you desire.
It’s also just as quick and easy to assign an image/video/ringtone to a profile if so desired.
Skyecaller PRO also gives you the option to browse your Contact list and your Profile list. This allows you to quickly and easily clear any Contact/Profile content without having to do a lot of searching.
The last major enhancement in this app that I’ll cover is the ability to download content. At the top of each section (main menu, images list, videos list, ringtones list) you will now find a Download option. Select Download from the main menu and the S60 3rd browser will open the main Skyecaller PRO content download page. Select Download from any of the three submenus and you will be brought directly to the download page for the relevant content type. Below you can see that I selected Download on the Video Clips screen so my browser opened right to the Skyecaller PRO Videos download page.
This is a new service for Skyestream so there isn’t a tremendous amount of downloadable content yet. The bonus however is that all of the preliminary content is available to Skyecaller PRO users for free!
To quickly summarize, Skyecaller PRO still has all of the important features that we know and love from Skyecaller and adds loads of additional useful functionality. Skyestream is not only offering a free trial of Skyecaller PRO, but they are also offering a limited-time 10% discount if you purchase from their online shop! Skyestream is a developer that continues to impress me and they have a lot planned for the coming months. If you’ve ever used one of their apps then it’s no mystery why they currently have two apps on the Nokia Software Market’s top-10 best selling list. Definitely keep an eye on Skyestream!
