Thanks to the integration between iOS 8 y OS X Yosemite We can make and receive calls on our Mac through the iPhone, however, the FaceTime app is somewhat confusing when making calls and this is precisely where it comes into play callpad that now we also have free for a limited time at the Mac App Store.
Easy calls from your Mac with Callpad
Since OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 the integration between both systems reached our devices through what Apple named Continuity allows us to receive, and therefore answer calls, from our Mac through the network of our iPhone however the other end, making calls, continues a little green.
We can effectively make calls through FaceTime but the truth is that this application is not 100% designed for this feature so it is very unfriendly. This is where it comes into play callpad, an app with a pleasant interface and very easy to use that allows us to make those calls from the Mac via iPhone very easily.
callpad It was already operational when OS X Yosemite was still in beta and now with its 1.2 update it incorporates considerable design and performance improvements but especially including a new "favorites" section and a widget thanks to which we will always have the numeric keyboard at hand in our Notification Center.
To use callpad on your Mac you must meet certain requirements:
- Both devices, Mac and iPhone, must be under the same iCloud account
- Both must be under the same WiFi network
- Having activated the option «Telephone calls. on iPhone »in FaceTime Preferences on Mac
- Having activated the option «Telephone calls. on the iPhone »in the FaceTime Settings of the iPhone
callpad is priced at € 0,89 in the Mac App Store but now, on the occasion of the Christmas holidays, we have it free for a limited time so hurry up to download it because we know it's free now but we don't know until when it will be.
It's not free, it still costs € 0,89 ……
indeed, it is not free.
Yes, it's not free 🙁
It is no longer free. The limited-time offers are what they have, you have to be very very fast. We will continue to report more offers. All the best!
