Line is a MacOS application that allows users to make free voice and video calls on any device at any time. Additionally, users are able to share messages, videos, stickers, and photos with friends instantaneously.
Currently, Line is a popular application in parts of East Asia, such as Japan and Korea. Users appreciate how the application automatically syncs their computer with the app on their mobile device. If a user receives a message on their mobile device through Line, it will automatically trigger a notification on their Mac Line app. In this way, Line is synced across all versions of a user's devices.
Users are able to send very large files up to 1 gigabyte in size to anyone, regardless of where the receiver is located. It's possible to store favorite conversations, messages, videos, and more in a user's personal repository to look at later on.
Moreover, users are able to encrypt their messages, phone calls, and recordings using a feature called "letter sealing".
Line syncs with a wide variety of Line corporation applications, such as Line Camera, Line Photo Editor, and a series of custom sticker makers. It's easy to make conversations and images as customized as possible through plug-in applications.
Currently, there are millions of Line users all across the world. The application supports over a dozen languages and boasts extremely secure personal data protection.
Of course, there are some drawbacks to the Line application. Many users report bugs when trying to make recordings using an updated MacOS; sometimes, Mac OSX Sierra causes an issue that makes the Line app unable to detect a speaker.
Despite these small issues, most users like the Line app. It is much cheaper to use line than a mobile phone's built-in SMS communications, since the app is completely free and only requires a secure Wifi connection for sending information.
