Codec Call - Walkie Talkie

Offline Bluetooth video call

$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Video calls with the people around you. No signal needed. Codec Call turns two iPhones or iPads into a retro video walkie-talkie over Bluetooth. No internet, no account, no ads. Chunky blocks of colour on a glowing CRT screen: low-res on purpose. That's the look, and it's why calls keep up. THE RADAR Anyone nearby with Codec Call open shows up as a blip. The closer to the centre, the stronger the signal. Tap a blip and their phone rings. THE CALL They answer, the static clears, and you're face to face in blocks of colour, about a tenth of a second behind real life. Hold your own window to talk, like a real radio. Or switch on VOX and just speak. PLAY WHILE YOU TALK Tap GAME next to their name and their window becomes the board, while you keep talking. TANKS: drive with the arrows and FIRE; three hits wins, and brick walls break apart as you shoot. Or play a sea battle with four ships each, or tic-tac-toe. NET LINK On the same Wi-Fi you can call from farther away, with a sharper picture. It stays off until you turn it on. Leave it off on public networks. IN YOUR POCKET Lock your phone mid-call and the call carries on as voice. Leave Codec Call on standby in the background and calls still ring. STAY HIDDEN One tap takes you off everyone's radar. Hold a blip to block that device: it disappears and its calls are declined automatically. MAKE IT YOURS Four CRT looks, adjustable scanlines and vignette, three picture-quality levels. In English, Traditional Chinese and Japanese. Take it camping or hiking, on flights and cruises, to festivals, or to the back seat on a long drive: anywhere the signal gives up. GOOD TO KNOW • Both devices need Codec Call. • No servers, no sign-up. Nothing is recorded or stored, and nothing is left when a call ends.
