ViewCarousel vs WiVeWa
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
ViewCarousel
Application features a circular carousel of maximum five pages that users can swipe through. Each slot in the loop is configured as either a web page or direct phone dialer for up to 4 contacts. Multiple configurations are supported. Application supports PiP mode and keeps the screen on.
WiVeWa
To use this Application, you need a subscription for the proprietary wivewa.de server component This is the Android client for WiVeWa. It is mainly a Browser that opens WiVeWa, but there is more: - the App uses a private key that is generated and stored in your hardware for the authentication - the App downloads the addressbook and provides it as "Wontakte" - the App can show caller details (name + last ticket) when using Welefon or another compatible App - the App can upload incoming and outgoing call details to the WiVeWa phone system ("Korrespondenzliste" extension)
