Hardly anyone uses this app. ### 4/5 — Toll! *2022-02-28, version 1.1* Cooles Tool ! ### 4/5 — Would be better if on phone too *2022-02-27, version 1.1* I think this app would be widely used better if it was on the iPhone. I don’t know many people who use it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as expected *2022-02-22, version 1.1* Takes too long to connect. Sometimes the ptt button isn’t available. Sometimes a message comes through to you while you’re talking, interfering with your message. It just makes sense to text or call instead. It should’ve been a quick and easy way to drop a voice message. Doesn’t work that way at all. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-02-22, version 1.1* Was not working with my series 4 and it still won’t work with my series 7 watch,everything up to date and FaceTime is active ### 2/5 — Only available for iwatch is disappointing *2022-02-20, version 1.1* If this app were available across multiple platforms and devices (not just apple) it would be perfect. Otherwise it’s practically useless ### 4/5 — Repeat push button *2022-02-19, version 1.1* the app is great but I would recommend that they put a button to repeat the received messages in case you haven't listened. ### 1/5 — Manque iPhone *2022-02-17, version 1.1* Mettez la sur iPhone ça marchera c’est sur ! ### 2/5 — I second that man below *2022-02-16, version 1.1* I have an Apple Watch 4, iPhone 13 pro max friends got 7/13 pro and all we can do with one another is invite over and over again. Yet no notifications, emails, texts, anything to show proof of said sent invite. We both have yellow check marks on name, app data/power turned on, also the walkie talkie symbol when you swipe up is both on(yellow) and the little yellow icon is appearing up top. But still jack on it actually working or connecting us via invite or what have you. We both hard reset watch/phone also to see if that would sew up any incorrect procedures it might be having which is causing the no acceptance or use of the app. ### 2/5 — No añade amigos *2022-02-13, version 1.1* Tengo un papel Watch serie 3 y mi mujer el SE le doy a invitar como amigo y viceversa y no llega la notificación para aceptarla ### 1/5 — Bad app no phone work *2022-02-06, version 1.1* This app ain’t it, chief. It’s not for iPhone??? But??? I thought this was Apple? Wozniak would rolling in his grave at this nonsense. ### 1/5 — Iphone *2022-02-01, version 1.1* I hope they make this app for iPhones too it’s a good app on the watch ### 1/5 — What is the purpose of this app *2022-01-31, version 1.1* This app doesn’t work at all. I am neither able to send invite to my friends using Apple Watch nor receiving invites from them. I restarted watch, and phone. Reinstalled this app. FaceTime is working well, and iPhone is signed in with AppleID. Still no luck with this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не устанавливается на Apple Watch *2022-12-21, version 1.1* Не устанавливается на Apple Watch просит открыть на айфоне. А на айфоне пишет что надо открыть на Apple Watch. ### 1/5 — Worst App & Product not worth buying *2022-08-07, version 1.1* Worst App, Apple watch itself is a product not worth buying, Limited Apps, the only good thing is it’s eye catching ### 1/5 — DAREI 0 stelle *2022-05-19, version 1.1* Prima l’app andava bene… adesso non riesco più ad invitare i miei amici !! Risolvete ### 1/5 — Invite never gets seen *2022-05-10, version 1.1* I’ve tried adding people on the walkie app and no one ever received the invite. 🧐 ### 1/5 — Why does it do this? *2022-04-05, version 1.1* When my friend tries to invite me it doesn’t come through and vice versa. ### 1/5 — Sent invites not showing up!!!! *2022-03-29, version 1.1* Apple. Use some of that money you make and fix this. You cannot claim something works when it doesn’t. I’ve sent invites and others have sent to me. Nothing. Nada. Niente. ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2022-03-14, version 1.1* L’app non funziona e non c’è modo di invitare gli amici ### 1/5 — 무슨방법해도 초대 안감 *2022-03-14, version 1.1* 초대 안된다 진짜 개 꾸졌네 ### 1/5 — Is there any way I can get walk-talkie and App Store on my Apple Watch *2022-03-03, version 1.1* My friend just got a new Apple Watch and an iPhone XR and wanted me to use walkie-talkie with her and I can’t download the app because it says It’s for iPhone 13 or later and I have an Apple Watch but it doesn’t have App Store on it and I don’t know if I can get it from there. My friend has an XR which isn’t later than a 13, she said walk-talkie came with her Apple Watch. It’s probably because she has a higher version but I’m not sure. She also has App Store on hers. ### 1/5 — Communication *2022-02-26, version 1.1* Je ne peut même pas inviter des personnes pour communiquer ça me marque …… n’as pas reçus l’invitation ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top 5 watch apps IMO *2022-03-15, version 1.1* This app is honestly so helpful!! I use it constantly with my friends cuz we are all terrible at noticing notifications. I sleep through alarms frequently and friends will walkie talkie me in the morning while I’m sleeping which shocks me awake cuz of the voice vs and alarm that I don’t actually wake up to. Super useful in malls and events with lots of people. If you’ve ever used voice memos on any chat platform, this is the perfect version of that, on your wrist, available always. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it!!! *2022-03-01, version 1.1* Absolutely love it.  please bring this feature to the iPhone and iPad as well!!! ### 5/5 — 분명히 최신인데 *2022-02-25, version 1.1* 분명히 재꺼 ios 최신인데 왜 ios13 이상이 필요하다는 걸까요 ### 5/5 — Perfecta *2022-02-06, version 1.1* Es excelente para usar con mis amigos y familia! Pregunto cosas o digo lo que tengo que decir directo al walkie-talkie. Es instantáneo, muy útil y funciona a la perfección No entiendo por que tiene solo 3.7 si es maravillosa ### 5/5 — Sehr nice *2022-01-17, version 1.1* Coole App macht Spaß und sinn und damit Prost ### 5/5 — iPhone version needed *2022-01-07, version 1.1* This would be AMAZING to have on iPhone as well. Imagine being able to talkie to your friends Apple Watch or viceversa. ### 5/5 — Iphone *2021-12-27, version 1.1* Rendez le dispo sur iphone ca va faire un carton ### 5/5 — For apple 6s with ios 15 *2021-11-06, version 1.1* I am unable to download this app and install . So please send me an link to do so ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-10-14, version 1.1* Very helpfull app when i dont have to call and i can just tap and speak. ### 5/5 — It's working now *2021-10-09, version 1.1* Probably after update, but it's working great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
