What's New in Tango Tango

4.0.3

June 30, 2026

Alert tones • Preview an alert tone before saving it. • New Silent option — receive alerts for a feed without a notification sound. Call and audio reliability • Improved recovery after iOS audio system resets. If recovery requires the app in the foreground, you'll get a notification so it can finish cleanly. • Fixed a bug where the audio session could go inactive after the initiator finished transmitting. • Fixed a case where a channel could still appear muted on one device after being unmuted elsewhere — the app now correctly updates local mute state when a call comes in. PTT button • Fixed duplicate button-down events that could trigger an unexpected sound after lifting the PTT button. Other fixes • Switched to KLIPY for GIF search in chat as Tenor is shutting down. You may notice different search results. • Stability and Performance Improvements

Hijacks my Mic

I hate this new update. The app keeps high jacking my mic and will freeze a FT call on screen. I’ve had to restart my phone for it to release the mic.

Newest update is terrible

Before the latest update at the end of May 2026, this app was amazing. The app no longer seems to be user-friendly, continuously running in the background draining battery, if there is a way to go back to the previous version of this app that would be incredible. Please consider updating this app to old settings, thank you.

Great asset to our departments.

Works great. From what I’ve seen audio issues some speak of are due to specific device settings needing some adjustment on the user end. Only thing I would like to see is the CAD alerts / Notifications and information integrated directly into the app rather than a separate text message. Would also be neat if the hypothetical CAD alert in app was able to automatically start playing/ reading the CAD information to you rather than having to click play. Of course make user settings that can be toggled off and on as some may not want that.

Great idea

Works when you have phone service but if towers are down you can’t count on this not working. I suggest if using to have a starlink system in play or have actual radios

Radio Traffic Choppy

The radio traffic is choppy when there is a page sent out. I once heard all radio traffic but now I don’t which only 2 out of 10 firefighters on my department can hear all radio traffic from other agencies. I do not hear radio traffic, when there is a page, it cuts out, I go to play back what was paged and its even cut out from there. I have contacted the 911 board that sets it up and they don’t know what the problem is. I can be in the 911 dispatch center under our repeater and it will still cut out. I am unsure if its the app connecting to the repeater problem or if its on my side but multiple firefighters on my department and some from other agencies says they are experiencing the same issue. It worked great at the beginning when I first got logged on but its been going down hill. For a example, my department got a page today and i did not even received a notification nor traffic when out. I got a text from another agency about it, so I went to play back and it was very choppy. Concerning when I need to know all details and location of the call.
