Finally a walkie talkie app that works well, no ads!
Truly peer-to-peer!
That’s also when using it over a network, if you’re disconnected and off grid completely it uses Bluetooth so it’s 100% peer to peer and not using anything on the internet, this mode also works well!
The only issue I have is that once disconnected, there’s no means to “trigger” someone else’s device to connect, even if you’re in Bluetooth range. They have to open the app for a little first and they become available, but if you’re in different rooms or further apart in a networked building, you have to resort to traditional online messaging to get the other side to open the app before you can talk. I suspect this is a limitation of iOS and not a choice of the app developer. Though if there was a way to do this, even if convoluted, that would be amazing and make the whole process truly offline.
Fantastic!
Would love to see support for an external PTT button in the future.
Perfect offline/no-Internet Walkie Talkie app
Rock solid!
Thanks for developing this app!

Response from developer
[Edited on 18 Mar 2025: Email address redacted - please use in-app option to contact support.] [Response from 2019:] Hi there, I'm sorry for the issues you've encountered with the app. All the limitations of the app are already clearly listed in the description of the app, including the fact that since it solely operates without an internet connection, it cannot send messages over distances longer that you're phone's WiFi/Bluetooth capability (33 feet in open air, less if obstructed by walls etc). The reliability of the technology used is limited by WiFi and Bluetooth connections between multiple devices and not internet connection (since it doesn't operate over the internet whereas other apps you listed do). Since it doesn't use the internet, your cellular data is also not used unlike other apps. Can you please list down the devices and iOS versions of every device that was connected? There are some known issues with certain iOS versions not being able to connect to other versions well, thus it is recommended to update all devices to the latest iOS version if possible. There's also a distance limit regarding the app as it uses only WiFi and Bluetooth technology. This means if you get too far or you get somewhere where WiFi and Bluetooth are easily obstructed, you may lose signal and thus become unreliable. How far did you attempt to use the app and is it with or without obstructions? Do note that certain electronic devices such as a microwave oven running can also interfere with the signal. Alternatively, please send me an email via [redacted] and I'd be happy to help. Hope to hear your reply!
