Zello Walkie Talkie 12+

So this is app is so much better than any other 2 way radio app that I tried, I looked everywhere for a direct connect chat and Zello has it so far and it replaces the old Nextel direct connect so if you ever need anything such as at work where a customer needs help or if you need help with anything from your boss you can just radio him right away without having to yell out his name or having to make a phone call to him. I just downloaded this app yesterday and I’ve been really having fun with it since it is a permanent replacement to Nextel it provides that chirp that is heard on older Motorola cb and 2 way radios and was heard on all Nextel phones. One thing I would like to see in the future for a slight improvement is the ability to use hearing aids for the deaf and the old people who have trouble hearing so they can hear their clear message in their message history. Otherwise an excellent app and I highly recommend it to anyone, it’s free and also the Zello free trial has no credit card requirements when they say it’s a free trial they really mean it and they don’t believe in asking for your credit card information for your 14 day free trial because they believe other apps ask for credit card information for a 14 day free trial and they don’t even believe in such nonsense. So thanks Zello for providing us legitimate 14 day free trials

I recently had meniscal repair surgery and have limited mobility while I recover. At first when I needed something I’d either have to yell for my partner or call him on his phone. It occurred to me there had to be some kind of walkie talkie app, but I had no idea there would be a free one.

This honestly works amazingly for what we need it for. If he’s downstairs and I need something else before he comes up I can just push the button and talk. It also has a little alert/alarm feature you can press before talking to make sure the person is available.

As an added bonus, this app works great with earbuds/airpods. My partner works from home and he’s often listening to music with them, so he often can’t hear me even if I’m trying to talk to him from the next room. I might still use this even after I’m fully recovered instead of trying to get his attention while he’s listening.

Please change when someone leaves you a walkie talkie message and how you view it.

Now you have to go to the little blue dot to listen. It would be great if you could have a message that stays on the home screen should you miss the original message and then you just press it to listen while it is displayed on the home screen. HeyTell is an app that has this as a feature. I have turned on a lot of people to this app but all don’t like how you have to go to the blue dot to listen. Again if you miss the walkie talkie message it should be in the home screen and then just hit the message to listen...much easier....please change this and this would make it great.

Update.......so now you can’t can send a walkie talkie message and it stays on the screen but fir how long? Please update app so it stays on your phone screen until you listen to it. Nobody knows once it goes to the blue dot to listen to message. Again The HeyTell app leaves it on your phone screen until you listen to the message. Change that and this app will be excellent. Sometimes a leave a walkie talkie message and after so long the person never gets the message because they can’t see it.
