## Description

WAVE PTX is an advanced Push-To-Talk (PTT) solution built on 3GPP Mission Critical Push-To-Talk (MCPTT) standards.

## Review summary

Users appreciate WAVE PTX for its core push-to-talk communication with low lag and utility for certain teams, but many criticize its poor reliability due to frequent crashes, intrusive permissions, Bluetooth problems, and a confusing interface. Several advanced features are either missing or non-functional, making the app unreliable for critical communications despite some long-term use without major issues by a few users.

### Pros

- Provides quality, low lag communication suitable for security and hazmat teams
- Functionality generally works for over a year without major problems for some users
- Allows push-to-talk (PTT) communication which is the core feature
- Includes some useful features that users appreciate despite drawbacks

### Cons

- App frequently crashes or freezes, requiring reinstallation
- Has intrusive permission requirements and background running behavior
- User interface is not user-friendly and lacks essential features like call from locked screen and proper volume control
- Causes Bluetooth and volume control issues on multiple devices
- Many advertised features are missing or not functioning as claimed, leading to poor reliability
