The killer app for the boring car commute, lets you keep your eyes on the road. CrazyTalkie is a voice centric, ephemeral, anonymous group voice chat app and service where you talk to other anonymous users on audio channels. Anyone can join on the global channels. Some channels are meant for people near them as configured by the user who created the channel. You can search for channels by topic, by location, or create your own. Users on the channel vote other users up or down based on what they are talking about. It is completely anonymous, and Crazy Fun. The app has minimal to no UI, and is controlled mainly by touching and pressing the screen. To talk you simply press and hold anywhere on the screen, as if it was a Walkie Talkie button. You can also issue commands by tapping and swiping the screen, so it is perfect for “eyes free” operation, like when driving or biking. The app uses Text to Speech to give you feedback on your touch commands. You can block users that you find offensive or rude, and you will no longer hear any audio from them on any channel.

Just another messaging app to clutter your app drawer, right? That's exactly what LiteWire is, and we don't even have degrees from MIT or Harvard like everyone else. But, we are the only messaging app that is as fun as we are safe. With just one gesture, you can delete any regretful text, or send a distress beacon that alerts your close contacts of your location and mic recordings of your surroundings. LiteWire will protect you from embarrassing decisions just as much as it will protect you from danger. Here’s a shortlist of our features: - Complete anonymity for sign up: no phone number, contacts, email address, last four of your social and credit card CVC code, blood type, etc. Just agree on a channel name or find each other by username. - Deleting messages deletes for all parties. This includes images and videos you send. - Custom watermarks protect your private content on your buddies’ devices, along with screenshot notifications - Distress beacon tells your close buddies your exact GPS coordinates and continual audio recordings of your surroundings. - End to end encryption, obviously. We can't read anything you send and don't want to. It's probably boring. - We are free! Other chat apps that offer similar features want your money. Gross. We made this app so you are in complete control of your communications and feel safe, both in the cyber world and the real world. Protect your communications from ex’s, Apples, Googles, and governments with LiteWire, the ultimate app for sexting (safe texting).
