17 August 2024: I found this to be a relatively good PTT phone-type agnostic app for those that need a walkie-talkie type app (like most phones use to have); however, there are two glaring issues which I feel despite info being encrypted that are extremely concerning:
(1) There does not seem to be a way to talk back and forth with unless they are an existing contact within your contacts list. The app wants you to approve unbridled accesv to ALL CONTACTS.
(2) If you grant access to your contacts and then initiate a connect via your contacts, the app not only pulls up contacts; but, BLOCKED NUMBERS AS WELL. The last thing I want VoicePro to do is pull all contacts including blocked off phone numbers to store on their side of the fence. I don’t want all of my contacts being over there!
This app needs to be developed so that only selected contact phone numbers can be used by the user’s designation … preferably adding the 2nd party phone number as a separate data store that it can use as opposed to the all-or-nothing access to you contacts.
The app works; however, until these security concerns are addressed, especially blocked numbers, I will never rate the app above three stars.
