### 1/5 — Ayuda urgente

*2020-05-11, version 5.4.0*

Quien me ayuda a ingresar me pide usuario contraseña y algo que se llama BUID y URL no se que se coloca en esos dos espacios alguien me puede ayudar?

### 4/5 — Buena

*2019-04-18, version 5.4.0*

La aplicación hasta el momento ha servido bien, hay que llamar a Avantel para unos ajustes y en configuración activar algunos parámetros de sonido y vibración pues vienen bajos por defecto. 

Lo único a resaltar es el alto consumo de batería en segundo plano eso podría mejorar si Motorola lo revisara.

### 4/5 — MotoTalk - iPhone 7

*2017-11-26, version 5.1.0*

iPhone 7, iOS 11.1.2

Hard to beat if you need to talk with groups irregardless of their cellular carrier.

Had to remove the app. The battery drain was just too much for me.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2016-11-03, version 4.4.0*

Well, when you leave the app open and your phone active, it works well and sounds clear. But if you lock your screen, check your email, etc. you will receive the annoying pop up declaring that you have force closed the app, and can no longer receive incoming ptt calls. And there doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it. Very disappointing. Having to use the PTT button on the screen rather than a physical button is annoying too, but a minor gripe compared to the force close issue.

### 1/5 — App good. Some usability suggestions.

*2016-10-19, version 4.4.0*

One less device now. Works mostly... pretty well. Call quality good.

Suggestions/requests:
1. Please add a setting to sort the in-app contact list by last name.
2. Please add the ability to export/save (and import/restore) the in-app contact list to survive phone loss or upgrade or app reinstall.
3. Stop relying on app being "running" to work. Other apps don't require this. App quits itself sometimes 2-3 times a day. I must manually restart app to receive PTT calls.
4. STOP SIGNING ME OUT!!! I don't have another device, and I'm not signing in using another device. Then I have to fill in 4 fields to sign back in every time. This happens 2-3 times a week.

The app's bugs, irritations, and deficiencies far outweigh its usefulness. 1 star for irritation.

I have tried multiple times to contact developers.
Response: Your input is not needed.
I believe it is. As a developer, I'd be embarrassed if this was mine.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2016-03-07, version 4.2.0*

Always has service restricted even with wifi
Poor reception 
Cost is too high for the service you get
Get a LINC and scrap the app
Don't waste ur money

### 3/5 — Few more suggestions

*2016-02-16, version 4.1.1*

1. Need a way to use ptt when locked. Takes extra time to put in passcode and then open app. 
2. Allow for a button on the iPhone to be set as ptt button
Also app runs slow

### 3/5 — Crashing when idle

*2015-09-15, version 4.1.1*

Good interface. Only problem app keeps crashing when not in use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-12-26, version 2.1.0*

Easy to use just a great app

### 3/5 — 911 Director

*2014-12-16, version 2.1.0*

I like this app after the recent update that fixed the problems. However I do not like the new layout. The previous app layout could be operated from recent to setting to contact with one hand. For us right handed people it's difficult to reach to menu button in the upper left then select from the menu. Also quick menu buttons were handy at the bottom and it was quicker to operate.  This app was a great idea so I don't have to carry 2 phones now. My rating is based on the layout changes.
