## What is HuddleWave?

HuddleWave lets you talk directly with people nearby. Create a group, scan the QR code and use your devices like walkie-talkies over the same Wi-Fi network or a personal hotspot.

No account and no cloud service. Your voice travels only between the devices in your group – encrypted.

Great for:
• Skiing, hiking and bike tours over a hotspot
• Festivals, trade fairs and events
• Camping, holiday homes and big houses
• Job sites, workshops and warehouses
• Calling the kids without shouting through the house

Features:
• Push-to-talk with a large, easy-to-reach button
• Keeps working with the screen locked
• Names and a live indicator of who is talking
• Encrypted voice (AES-256)
• Reliable connection: if one device cannot reach the other, the host connects to the guest automatically
• Reconnects automatically after short Wi-Fi drops
• Join by QR code
• Works between iPhone, iPad and Android
• Optional noise reduction
• No ads, no account
• Two people free; groups of three to five with one purchase by the host

All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network or personal hotspot. HuddleWave is not an emergency service and does not replace professional radio equipment.
