I'm a little bit confused by some of this. It's true that there were a few people who had access/installation problems with Paltalk. But the sound quality on Paltalk was better than Hearme (even when hearme was working well) right from when we started using it.

If anything, I've found Paltalk has deteriorated but that is just because I don't pay and the level of annoyances like popups seems to have increased and each time I try to get in now seems to need an update. I guess some of that is to do with them trying to combat people trying to find work arounds to the annoyances on the free version.
