Hi John,
Skype is certainly widely used and I should start using it myself as it has
cross platform connectivity between android and i o s.
Likewise as Ita said earlier Facetime on the i phone works for video
calling i o s to i o s device and not just audio calling.
Always good to have several options just in case the person you are trying
to contact when you get lost is not available.
Google assistant on the android sounds pretty cool.
Would be great to hear the google assistant in action at a future exchange
club meeting.
Best wishes,
Barry.

Hi BarryThanks for that info. Will have a look at this but hard to imagine
that this will take off with Skype so commonly used. On another matter I am
trialing Google Assistant which is the Siri equivalent for the Android.
Unfortunately there is a limited free and a paid full or premium version at
18â¬. I dont know if it better or worse than Siri but my impression it
integrates very well with the Google search and the Google calendar.
Google is also planning to release Google Home which will allows Assistant
to talk and control third party appliances in the home.
Best Regards
John

Google have a new "Get closer to everyone you love with simple,
high-quality video calling on iOS and Android."
https://duo.google.com/
I haven't tried it out myself yet but might be handy to make a video phone
call to a sighted family member or friend in situations when I get lost or
when members of the public don't want to know you when it is raining.
Have a good day Guys.
Best wishes,
Barry.
