FaceTime
FaceTime, Apple's answer to Skype, is one of the favorite video calling apps that allows you to keep in touch with family and friends through Apple devices. Getting started is easy, when you open FaceTime, you will see yourself on the screen and be required to enter your Apple ID. It sets up quickly, adding your address book directly from the Mac so that you can immediately call anyone who is available to chat with you. You can use every inch of the Mac display with the full screen display option, while the wide aspect ratio makes it easier for the whole family to participate in a group call. If a caller is using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and they rotate the device, then the view smoothly transitions from portrait to landscape and vice versa. With a minimal interface FaceTime is a great video chat application that is easy to use and is certainly one of the best options for helping you communicate between your Mac and family or friends using Apple devices.

Parallels for Mac
Parallels allows Apple users to run Windows on a Mac OS X computer. The software creates a Windows virtual machine that is able to run alongside the native operating system. Whilst Apple's Bootcamp app creates a bootable copy of Windows. Parallels is different in that it runs Windows within an environment on OS X. If you need it, Windows can be run in its own window, in full screen mode, or in an integrated view called Coherence. Coherence allows Mac and Windows apps to be used side by side. Key features include: Ultimate flexibility. Retina display support. Connect devices. One-click performance tuning. Office 365 integration. Save disc space. Travel mode. Works with Boot Camp. Parallels can modify the standard Mac OS X interface, and adds a new window control button for any VMs. Along with the existing buttons that close and minimise windows, Parallels has a new button, which allows you to switch a VM into Coherence mode, thereby hiding the Windows desktop. This then allows any Windows apps to seamlessly sit right on the Mac OS desktop. A great feature of Parallels that is worth noting, is when you run Windows 10 in Coherence mode, the Windows Action Centre is able to be viewed as a panel, which slides in from the right-hand side of the screen, next to the Notification panel in Mac OS X. Overall, Parallels is not the only virtualization option that is available for Mac OS X users who need to run Windows apps. It is, however, more of a polished product than the other products. The close integration of both Windows OS and Mac OS provides users the best of both worlds. You can switch easily between apps, regardless of which operating system they were written for, especially using Coherence.
