User Reviews

Pros

Uses low data consumption, making it suitable for limited data plans.
Worked well for many users in the past, particularly for voice communication.
Has a nostalgic value for long-time users.

Cons

Consistent issues with notifications not working properly after updates.
Background audio playback not functioning, requiring users to remain in the app.
Audio quality affected by background noise, making messages hard to hear.
Lack of an account sign-in feature leads to loss of messages and connections when changing devices.
Frequent bugs and instability after updates, with users unable to access or use the app reliably.

Sadly, it crashes a lot. I really love this app and would use it all the time if it didn't glitch so often. It will notify that a message was received, but I can't actually get the message. Then sometimes it doesn't notify at all that a message was received. Just inconsistent. Otherwise, a great tool to quickly voice communicate!

This is a solid app with some features still missing. Would be great if it could just play voice messages in background, that's the point of a radio vs messenger. For now you need to be in the app. When you use another app, say Maps, or screen locked, it just shows a notification.
