TR TALK Pro turns your phone into a two-way radio. Press, speak, release – everyone in the room hears you at once. No ringing, no waiting, no dialling. The way radio should be. The app is made for people on the road who look out for each other: long-distance drivers, haulage and taxi companies – and anyone who would rather not travel alone. ROOMS Every country has its own rooms. You choose where you want to join in, and you are there right away. Only one person speaks at a time – just like on the radio. Everyone sees whose turn it is. MAP If you want, the map shows you who is on the road nearby. You decide how precisely your location is shown to others – or whether it is shown at all. You can switch it off at any time. BORDER CROSSINGS Waiting times at border crossings, reported by the people standing there right now. Whoever is at the front tells the others how long it takes. CHAT Messages, pictures and voice messages – one to one or in groups. WORKS WITH THE SCREEN OFF The radio keeps running when the phone sits in its holder and the screen goes dark. QUIET AND FRUGAL No flashing animations, no constant movement on screen. That saves battery and data – and keeps the phone cool, even on long journeys. ORDER IN THE ROOM Volunteer moderators keep the tone decent. Anyone who causes trouble is muted or removed. Every user can report another user, and we look at every report. Insults, advertising and politics have no place here. YOUR DATA Everything is kept on servers in Germany. Speech is transmitted but not recorded. You can delete your account yourself in the app at any time. Languages: Turkish, German, English.
