Cons of Kuku messenger.
1. User can not call via Kuku.2. If the push-notification service to fall (which sends them separately from the messages), messages in Android will come to slow down (5 minutes), and iOS - only when the application is open.
3. There is no iOS version, but it is on its way.
How does it work?
User account is any email from any country. In fact - Kuku is the mail client, but reinterpreted with all the advantages of instant messenger: no message subjects, there is no folder, and there are the usual dialog windows and dialogs list. Correspondence is not heavy, but easy like in standart messengers, the messages are received in real time. Kuku Messenger recognizes messages sent from another Kuku Messenger and downloads only them, ignoring the rest of the mail (and spam, respectively), and distribut messages in dialogues by contacts. Thus, it is possible to use a single account for Kuku and for regular mail correspondence, and they will not overlap because Kuku automatically creates on your mail server two folders: Kukuinbox and Kukusent, and incoming and outgoing messages for Kuku puts in these folders automatically.At the same time, a completely different service sends push notification. This service does not include any data and information itself. Pushs are removed after delivery of the message. Thus, we have an unique dual system of sending messages: Message goes separately decentralized and push goes separately centralized. If the push server fails, the message will still be delivered, but a little slow.
As soon as the account is email on any server that can work with mail clients, we achieve the following:
1. Storing information in another country. For example, free indian mail server - india.com or Ecuador - terra.com (the government of any country, not loving freedom, can block terra.com or India.com, but it is easy to change the account and it is impossible to block all email servers, if not completely turn off the Internet. And it is unlikely that someone will block unknown Ecuadorian mail server, which is used by 100 people, right?). These 2 servers are tested while creating the app. User living in a nearby street can be instantly in touch with another user through Ecuador or India, which complicates the possible persecution. Thus, the server is not single, but each user has his own one, anywhere in the world. We provide a list of free email servers from all over the world, and there is also such cunning, where the server itself removes the account after 10 minutes after its creation. Not all mail servers work with email clients. For example, the Czech atlas.cz does not work with our application, but such is a minority.2.
