User reviews

Enjoyable app!

I enjoy the app very much; it is very much like using a CB radio - with the added feature of reviewing your comment before “transmitting” to hopefully not say something that a few seconds of good judgement might make you otherwise reconsider. Obviously this isn’t a radio - you’ll need a network or mobile connection. There are some regulars subscribed who are always fun to engage in a brief chat. I see some fun/interesting uses for this app beyond it’s published intent. All in all, and fun app to leave running! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! We’ll continue to make enhancements and listen to our users about features they would like to see!

Yes!

I love this app. Simple and very clever.

Response from developer

Thank you! The translation is far from perfect, but its very helpful when you are in a situation where it may be difficult to clearly hear the audio.

I notice the x is not available on your app

When I asked for assistance in deleting the app from iOS 14.3 (I can only remove the icon from the home screen not from the app folder) I was quickly and professionally responded to. Turns out it was not app related, but iOS 14 related.
That kind of support is above and beyond.

Response from developer

I have heard others describe the issue you're seeing with iOS 14. Here is some info that might be helpful to you. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/deleting-iphone-apps-is-confusing-in-ios-14-heres-how-to-do-it/ UPDATE: Thank you! We hope you give us another try someday. We're just now getting the word out. Have an awesome day...

Best CB radio app ever

Response from developer

Thanks so much! We work on improvements every single day!

Brilliant app good old cb days renewed.

This takes me back 30 years. It’s a new take on the citizens band craze back in the day. I just wished more join. The more people use it the better. The app is fun to use. Hi tech look.

Response from developer

Thanks so much! The Android version is now out, too. Enjoy...
