User Reviews

Users cite core usefulness for work, but recurring issues after updates dominate feedback: hard-to-close apps, intrusive overlays, battery drain, and unreliable messaging. Positive sentiment exists alongside a clear demand for hardware integration features (action button, widgets, watch support) that could boost usability.
Pros
  • The app is valued as a useful walkie‑talkie tool for work and several reviewers explicitly say they love it.
  • Users show strong interest in and see potential for hardware integrations (assignment of the iPhone action button, home screen widgets, and Apple Watch support) to greatly improve usability.
Cons
  • Post‑update instability where the app cannot be closed and a persistent top/badge/overlay (Talk box) appears, interrupting other apps.
  • Battery drain and ongoing background activity or phantom connections even after attempting to delete or force close.
  • Messages are not reliably delivered, with delays or missed transmissions reported by multiple users.
  • Limited platform support, including reports of no iPad compatibility and no Apple Watch version.

The app used to be great and now it’s absolutely terrible. Little bar at the top won’t go away and I never see any of the notifications anymore. Made it much harder to use.

I can’t tell you how much I love this app. It’s perfect for those of us old enough to remember the Nextel days. My only hope is now that Apple is sunsetting its native walkie talkie watch app, it’ll allow Zello to make its watch companion app! (Fingers crossed).

Ever since you pushed the update back in May with live in the dynamic island it, it causes missed phone calls. The phone does not ring normally, it only beeps as if we are on a phone call. even when I’m mute do not disturb the phone makes the busy call waiting tone. constant pop-ups on the screen has gotten out of control. this is a complete and annoying disaster. Please revert to the older version where it played audio in the background and where it did not disturb with the phones normal ringing operation and do not disturb operation.
