Twitter/X, meets CB radio, meets Maps. Every pin is a voice. Every place has stories. We just never got to hear them — until now.
Picture this: you're walking through a park you've passed a hundred times. This time, your phone buzzes — softly, automatically, no tapping required — and a stranger's voice starts telling you about the day they proposed on that exact bench, twenty years ago. You keep walking. A block later, another voice picks up: a local teenager's rant about the best taco truck in the city, left right where it's parked.
That's YapSpot. Every place has stories. We just never got to hear them — until now.
YapSpot lets you record your voice and pin it to the exact spot you're standing in. Anyone who later passes within range hears it automatically — playback is continuous, like a music stream, no searching or tapping required. It's the audio equivalent of graffiti: temporary or permanent, public or private, left for whoever walks by next.
Think Twitter/X, meets CB radio, meets Maps. Every pin is a voice.

I enjoy the app very much; it is very much like using a CB radio - with the added feature of reviewing your comment before “transmitting” to hopefully not say something that a few seconds of good judgement might make you otherwise reconsider. Obviously this isn’t a radio - you’ll need a network or mobile connection. There are some regulars subscribed who are always fun to engage in a brief chat. I see some fun/interesting uses for this app beyond it’s published intent. All in all, and fun app to leave running! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

When I asked for assistance in deleting the app from iOS 14.3 (I can only remove the icon from the home screen not from the app folder) I was quickly and professionally responded to. Turns out it was not app related, but iOS 14 related. That kind of support is above and beyond.

I have heard others describe the issue you're seeing with iOS 14. Here is some info that might be helpful to you.https://www.cnet.com/how-to/deleting-iphone-apps-is-confusing-in-ios-14-heres-how-to-do-it/UPDATE: Thank you! We hope you give us another try someday.
