But crashes when doing minor Things like deleting sent pictures. Plus not many people using app. Also ios seems to have borked the app. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work well with iOS8 *2014-10-09, version 1.95* This app is nice but freezes a lot since IOS8. Also doesn't play messages all the time. And please add an option to mute the sound affects. I HATE the send and receive sounds! ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2014-10-02, version 1.95* I absolutely loved the app until the IOS8 update.

Please fix this because I love the app!! ### 3/5 — Pretty good but missing a few things *2013-11-13, version 1.95* Works well. Signing up is a bit lengthy.

Don't waste your time downloading this piece of crap. ### 2/5 — Meh *2013-08-11, version 1.94* It's a great app but they need to fix the bugs and crashing. I can't stand the fact I and my fiancee have to close out the app 2 plus times a day and turn our phone off for it to work right. And it has to be the app considering we both have different and new phones. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED IN ORDER TO WORK FOR THE IPHONE 7 & up IOs 11 update *2017-10-08, version 1.95* Please update.... ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOs11 *2017-10-01, version 1.95* Please update. ### 1/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE FOR IOS 11!!! *2017-09-08, version 1.95* I talk to a lot of friends and family from this app so you guys need to make an update soon for iOS 11 not sure if you guys even work on this project anymore ### 1/5 — Bad app *2016-09-19, version 1.95* It won't load any messages at all or keep me signed in ### 1/5 — Demasiado lenta *2014-10-21, version 1.95* Malísima aplicación ### 1/5 — Please fix ! *2014-10-14, version 1.95* Won't work after the iOS 8 update :( ### 1/5 — FIX IT NOW PLEASE *2014-10-05, version 1.95* It only works for couple of mins when I open it, pretty sure I'm not the only one who's having the same problem. ### 1/5 — Mr *2014-10-01, version 1.95* Locks up constantly having to restart update please ### 1/5 — Disconected! *2013-12-05, version 1.95* It will disconect you while you are sending a text and it wont conect again untill you close the app completly and open it back up ### 1/5 — 7.0 UPDATE *2013-09-20, version 1.94* Was working fine until the 7.0 update.

It does everything I expect from a walki talki to talk to friends in reall time and a lot more.

Love it *2013-11-25, version 1.95* So I'm gathering that this app was given some attention in 2012, then devs lost interest. Then it seems they picked up again this last month, updated for 7, and got it going again. I love it, works flawless so far, simple, easy to use. Now.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!! Don't mess up a good thing with some horrible update that ruins it all. This seems to happen with every app I love. PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN AND SIMPLE! I love it, don't ruin it! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-11-23, version 1.95* Great app. Better than viber tango ### 5/5 — iOS7下无法发送消息 *2013-08-29, version 1.94* 想问下TalkBox是否还继续更新，如果不更新就不留着了 ### 5/5 — Greatest App *2013-06-19, version 1.94* Superb app! Now make it fullscreen on the ipad!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
