They definitely need to update application along with apple developers. ### 3/5 — Push to talk physical button needed *2021-01-15* I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and was looking in settings (both in app and in iPhone settings) to assign the Siri button as the physical push to talk button (while using the app). I can’t seem to find anything and even texted into Verizon customer care and spoke with an agent that could not find an answer, but was very eager to get my idea to the people that can implement it. I also decided to leave this review to double ensure that the proper people see this idea and are hopefully able to implement it sooner than later. That said, I know apple can be annoying for developers to work with, so hopefully it is a possibility to get it implemented. ### 3/5 — Screen needs to be updated *2020-04-15* This is app is mainline of communication for first responders. But the bright white screen needs to go and need to be updated to the black background like all apps. Horrible for use at night. ### 3/5 — Please Add Apple Watch App *2019-06-10* It would be much nicer if there was an Apple Watch App that you could use similar to Apple’s Walkie Talkie App. I’d give it 5 stars if it had a Watxh App ### 3/5 — Works great, needs update *2017-06-30* We have all Kyocera PTT+ phones in my company. My son downloaded the app for his iPhone so he could be in contact. App works great, no noticeable difference between app and our phones except app must be open in the background at all times for someone to contact you. App should automatically run in background at all times like iMessage so even when closed you can receive alerts, maybe add a "do not disturb" option. Otherwise, great app! ### 3/5 — Great app. Low volume. *2017-04-04, version 2.6* I downloaded this on an iPhone 6s Plus. The app itself is great but the volume on the phone is terrible! If there is any background noise, it is very hard to hear. Maybe there will be an update in the near future to fix this. ### 2/5 — Needs more *2016-12-19, version 2.5* Really cool in theory but will not work on cell service with a vpn.. terrible! Also in this day and age, Verizon's ppt should work with att ptt and others. $5 a month per device with those flaws?.. no thanks! ### 2/5 — So far not so good *2016-11-20, version 2.5* Read the reviews not sure yet what thru wrote about but I am having a hard time connecting to the server even with full bars of signal so if there is a trick to this working please let it be known ### 2/5 — Expensive 💸 *2016-10-22, version 2.5* I thought this would be $5/month on the account. No, it's $5/month per line! For family communication it's best to just use regular phone calls. Why such a high charge to use wireless communication in a different way? I guess it's worth it if you use it all the time but for occasional use like shopping or vacations I don't think that's a fair price. ### 3/5 — PTT ERR. *****update***** *2015-12-11, version 2.2* Every time I try to use this app, I keep getting an PTT ERROR.. Please fix.... After a week they came out with this update: works great now for my iPhone 6s +.. So I'll change my stars.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2019-10-14* I would give it a zero but I can’t. 90% of the push to talk calls do not go through and 90% of the time you can’t respond. I’ll get a notification someone is calling and no voice comes through and it’ll say they’re talking for several minutes. Used at work for service calls where time is critical and it does not work. ### 1/5 — Issues with IPhone *2019-05-18* PTT now uses the speaker made for your ear, this causes major issues and you can’t really hear what you need to. Can we get and update to get this fixed to the bottom speakers on an iPhone????? ### 1/5 — Emergency Personnel use not too good *2018-10-30* Ok, The greatest thing use to be Nextel! Now that Verizon has PTT+ I couldn’t wait to incorporate it into our account for EMS. Now that we have it I’m 50 - 50. The app itself works great and I have no complaints there. However, here are my issues; the app should be an integrated app into the phone so you can change things through settings like button configuration so you can use a side button for PTT. Also, you should be able to change the background color to black because trying to communicate on the way to an emergency you are blinded by the white screen. If these things can be changed I will give it 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and 100% recommendation! Thanks ### 1/5 — Read the fine print! *2018-08-19* I downloaded this app because it looked interesting and I didn’t see the “in app purchase” indicator. I’m glad I decided to read the information! Knowing Verizon, I’m sure it will cost a lot!!! Deleted it immediately. ### 1/5 — Low volume *2018-07-28* With the new update cannot hear the PTT alert and I miss every call. There’s always a problem with this app. ### 1/5 — $$$$$ *2018-06-09* Another way Verizon Wireless can get more of your money....worthless app.....and if you notice all the high ratings have there name written up in the same format.....they are Verizon Wireless employees told for an extra in pay check to give good rating. ### 1/5 — To many bugs Undependable *2018-04-25* Works ok at times but is very undependable , I’ve used this system for a few years and it isn’t worth the five dollars a month on each phone. ### 1/5 — Iwatch *2017-02-06, version 2.6* Which you could use it on the iwatch ### 1/5 — Current Version No Dice - IPhone 7 Plus *2016-11-29, version 2.5* The current version simply reloads the screen continually after successfully logging in. Unusable currently. ### 1/5 — Best joke app ever. *2015-10-24, version 2.1* No amount of comments or suggestions will fix this app. Hire a real company to do your work Verizon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Verizon Push To Talk *2025-04-24* Verizon you are a Multi Billion Dollar company why can’t you assign an Engineer with a Brain to this app that can actually make it worth using it? How difficult is it to add a dedicated button on the iPhone under programming? ### 5/5 — iPhone 15, Plus, Pro, Max *2023-09-26* Love this app, but have recently upgrade my phone. Will there be an update for the new iphone 15 lineups soon? ### 5/5 — Love the app *2019-12-22* I love this app. The only thing is I wish when someone ptt. It would pull up the ptt screen. Instead of just making the sound. This way you wouldn’t have to go to the app an click on it. Sincerely IPhone 11 Pro user. ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-09-05* Love ptt ### 5/5 — Finally! *2015-04-30, version 2.0* This very clean and intuitive app has finally made it to the iPhone. Now I can talk to all my other PTT+ users. ### 4/5 — Great but needs dark oled mode *2024-06-05* Works more reliably than Zello. Unlike Zello it doesn’t use up the battery while running in the background. Desperately needs a dark mode interface option. The bright white screen at night is irritating. ### 4/5 — Great app - Low Volume *2017-05-18, version 2.6* I have the app on a 6s plus and it is great. Easy to use and set up groups. The only bad thing is the low volume. You can turn it all the way and still have to put it next to your ear. Please fix it!!! ### 4/5 — Please update *2017-01-29, version 2.6* Please update this app to be optimized with iOS 10 as well as to be formatted for the plus model iPhones. ### 4/5 — Decent product *2016-10-27* This is a pretty good walkie talkie app now that you are able to use it on 3G as well as 4G instead of just 4G. At the company that I manage all of the employees have this service and it really works great! Only reason 4 stars not 5 is because of it being a little buggy sometimes but 90% of the time it works awesome! ### 4/5 — Works well *2016-01-24, version 2.2* The functionality works well (with my iPhone 6s+), with occasional hiccups where the connection cannot decide whether I'm online or offline. I really wish they would remap the volume down button (or similar) as a PTT button. It's difficult to comfortably depress the button on the screen with the size of my phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
