So how are those of us who are Orion Classic users going to use the hardware we have now? ### 2/5 — Not quite pleased *2019-03-13, version 5.2.12* It cuts through my conversation and also disappointed with one language translation, it’s not as the add 😡😡😡😡😡 ### 3/5 — Bruh *2020-07-09, version 5.16.0* Bruh ### 4/5 — Works well *2019-08-21* Works well, but you won’t receive when the app isn’t open. I’ve seen similar apps work from the lock screen but this doesn’t. ### 4/5 — Direct messages *2019-04-15, version 5.2.13* I think this app is amazing, yet I think Orion will be absolutely great if their was a way to only PTT with one person of the group and not all? Is there a way to do this? ### 4/5 — Good communication... *2019-02-02, version 5.2.12* Great so far. Needs a way to speak directly with one person in a group or the whole group. Plus texting and pictures. ### 5/5 — Awesome Functionality *2025-03-15, version 8.2.0* I really like how this app works similar to a call. You can stay in a chat while you are on other apps. Also buttons on head phone actual do start the listen function! Best functional walkie talkie app! I wish it it has a couple more features though. -App volume, specific an amplifier. -settings to be able to pause music while others are speaking -Setting replay message if you loose connection. ### 5/5 — Awesome technology *2022-03-09, version 6.19.0* I love this app and use it everywhere and every day ### 5/5 — Wearable devices *2019-10-09, version 5.7.1* I love the Orion App I have been using it for years now .however it would be better if you could have the Apple Watch as a companion for Ptt push to talk 😎😊😁🎁🎉🎂🍰 that would be so awesome and amazing to have. all you would need is to update software to achieve the desired feature I really hope you do this soon ### 5/5 — Awesome hardware awesome app. *2018-12-28, version 5.2.11* Ok, very impressed with this. What is it? A PTT (Push to talk) Hardware and software solution. The hardware portion is a small bluetooth button / speaker / mic that integrates with the iphone / Android app and allows you to 'push to talk' (like a walkie talkie) with a friend or group of friends. You can create groups, you can even integrate with IFTTT to create 'recipes' inside your group - ie read the next day weather forecast at 8PM in my group, if the word ‘meeting' is said, text message me the context (ie if someone says "We should have a meeting tomorrow at noon", you will get a text message "We should have a meeting tomorrow at noon". The possibilities are endless. You can obviously use it without the hardware PTT button, but the PTT button makes it so much easier. The audio quality is fantastic. The app is great. Great hardware and amazing software! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A very useful app *2018-12-27, version 5.2.11* I’ve used this app for around 6 months now and am very satisfied with it. I recently received an Onyx and made my experience wonderfully great. I use this app as a part of my ham radio experience and is such a useful platform getting ham tech support. I also communicate with my wife as well as friends for instant communications. The Onyx works very well. I get a lot of heads turning and questions while using it. The support on this app has been delightful. I send feedback and they fix it right away. Cummunications from the team is great. The updates have been consistent on both iOS and Android. ### 5/5 — The preferred table in the DigiCommCafe *2018-10-16, version 5.2.7* Orion Push to Talk is my favorite table in the DigiCommCafe. Awesome features such map location services and IFTTT integration with Text To Speech into our group. ### 5/5 — Keeps my team foccussed *2018-07-10, version 5.1.14* From managing logistics to organizing events, Orion assist keeps your crew coordinated in real-time, so they remain focused and efficient. ### 5/5 — A have to have app *2018-07-10, version 5.1.14* I can structure groups for unique undertaking according to requirement and hold in contact with them. ### 5/5 — Crystal clear *2018-07-09, version 5.1.14* I like the crystal clear sound quality. orion is just amazing to see how it connects with a great distance apart. ### 5/5 — Real-time call *2018-07-07, version 5.1.14* Sometimes in case of emergency situations and Orion is instant in transferring the information. it is real-time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
