FAQ

What does the CB app do?

This app simulates an old-fashioned Citizen's Band radio, allowing users to listen to broadcasts from people all over the world for free. It functions like a walkie-talkie or ham radio over the internet, facilitating real-time voice conversations.

How can I broadcast on the app?

To broadcast, simply press and hold your finger anywhere on the screen. Free users can broadcast for up to 10 seconds with a 10-second delay between broadcasts. Subscriptions unlock longer broadcast times and remove the delay.

Is the app free to use?

The app is free to download and use for listening to broadcasts. However, to unlock features like longer broadcast times and to remove delays between broadcasts, in-app purchases for auto-renewing subscriptions are available.

How does the app handle user location?

User privacy is a priority. The app intentionally and randomly moves your pin on the map within 3-15 miles of your actual location, so your exact position is never shown to other users. You will see approximate locations indicated by colored pins.

What are the subscription options?

There are several subscription levels: Basic ($0.99/3 months for 15-second broadcasts), Pro ($2.99/3 months for 30-second broadcasts), Executive ($9.99/6 months for 60-second broadcasts), and Royal ($35.99 annually for longer broadcasts). All subscriptions remove the 10-second broadcast delay.
